How does Axminster carpet resist daily wear and tear | Dongsheng Carpet

There are numerous types of commercial carpets on the market. Many purchasers are puzzled as to why Axminster carpets are more recommended for high-traffic venues with the same budget investment.

Axminster carpets are made using a continuous yarn embedded weaving process. The loop yarn runs through the carpet base, and the yarn is not simply adhered to the surface of the base fabric. The pile yarn of ordinary tufted carpets is only fixed by adhesive backing. Long-term trampling is prone to problems such as pile shedding and piling. The one-piece woven structure ensures more uniform force distribution on the pile heads and significantly reduces local wear caused by long-term movement.

The abrasion resistance of a carpet largely depends on the density of the pile unit area. Axminster carpets can achieve high-density and uniform flocking. The stepping pressure is dispersed to more yarn fibers, avoiding the continuous pressure and breakage of single-point fibers. For high-frequency passage areas such as hotel corridors, lobbies, and exhibition centers, high-density pile heads are an important foundation for resisting wear and tear.

Many engineering purchasers are confused about whether to choose nylon or polypropylene material to make Axminster carpets.

Nylon fibers have excellent bending resistance and wear resistance. They are not prone to pilling or breaking even after repeated trampling, making them the mainstream choice for Axminster carpets in hotel and office building projects. Polypropylene material offers better value for money and is suitable for public Spaces with moderate foot traffic and limited budgets. Dongsheng Carpet can match the corresponding fiber raw material scheme according to the project's human flow and budget.

Relying solely on the fibers themselves is not enough to maintain the appearance of a carpet in the long term. High-quality anti-fouling treatment can prevent sand, gravel and particles from embedding into the interior of the velvet yarn. Hard particles are hidden between the pile heads. When pedestrians step on them, they will continuously grind the fibers, accelerating wear and tear. High-quality surface protection treatment reduces the friction of sand and gravel, indirectly protecting the Axminster carpet fibers.

When overseas engineering projects purchase commercial carpets, they usually refer to the abrasion resistance test standards. Different areas need to be matched with corresponding wear resistance grades. For areas with peak foot traffic such as corridors and elevator entrances, Axminster carpets with higher wear resistance grades should be selected. For areas with low foot traffic such as guest rooms and meeting rooms, parameters can be appropriately adjusted to optimize procurement costs.

Many purchasers tend to overlook the role of the backing. A stable backing can prevent local slippage of the carpet. When the carpet is frequently moved, the pile yarn is constantly pulled, which will accelerate its wear and tear. High-quality Axminster carpets, paired with stable composite underlays, reduce the hidden wear and tear caused by ground friction.

Even if the carpet itself is wear-resistant, incorrect maintenance will shorten its service life. For instance, using a hard brush to scrub vigorously or leaving corrosive cleaning agents on for a long time can both damage the fiber structure. Regular vacuuming and timely removal of hard sand and mud are the simplest and most effective ways of protection.

This is a low-cost solution that is easily overlooked by the engineering party. Add a dust-removing floor mat can intercept most of the sand and gravel impurities, reduce the abrasive particles brought into the room, significantly slow down the wear rate of the Axminster carpet, and is suitable for use in hotels and large venues.

Commercial engineering projects often have requirements such as size customization, pattern customization, and flame retardant standards. High-quality manufacturers need to support pattern sampling, strictly implement international flame retardant testing standards, and at the same time stably control the density of pile heads to ensure uniform wear resistance of carpets in large orders. Professional carpet manufacturers need to have mature engineering implementation experience.

It is difficult for small workshops to stably control the weaving density, and the wear resistance of products in the same batch varies. The large factory is equipped with a complete Axminster production line and can undertake orders for hotel and commercial complex projects at home and aboard. Dongsheng Carpet is deeply engaged in the production of Axminster engineering carpets. It can customize fabrics, color matching and specifications according to project requirements to meet the procurement standards of overseas commercial projects.
