Weaving Methods Traditional woven carpets such as axminster and wilton have been manufactured for over 200 years. The looms on which the carpets are woven have altered considerably over the years but the construction principal of interlocking the pile yarns with backing yarns is little changed. A traditional wilton weave carpet is one in which the pile threads run continuously into the carpet and are raised above the surface of the integral backing by means of wires or hooks. Wilton carpets are often cut or loop products and different yarn types can be used to produce different surface textures. Wilton weaving is not as versatile as axminster for the production of patterned carpets, due to continuous yarns that create waste yarn on the back of the carpet. Brintons wilton carpets are woven on looms designed and built by their own engineers in their own factory. They differ from traditional wilton looms as they have no "dead" or wasted yarns in the back. These advanced design looms weave two carpets as a sandwich, known as "face to face", which is then sliced into separate rolls. As with traditionally woven wilton carpet, Brintons face to face looms produce a durable woven product, which is hard wearing and dimensionally stable. The carpet does not suffer from the delamination and stability weakness often associated with tufted carpets. |

Fleece to Floor The Brintons story begins in spring, in Britain and New Zealand, when the sheep are brought in to be sheared. Having supplied this most organic and renewable by-product, they return to the hills and fields to grow a new coat for the next year. Once the woven carpet emerges, it is top-sheared, checked by eye for flaws and hand finished. It is then given a final shear and a latex backing for extra strength, edge trimmed and checked again by quality control inspectors. Only then is it ready to be sent out to an approved retailers. From selecting the raw wool to hand finishing, a Brintons carpet marries the latest technology to one of man's oldest and most favoured materials, to create a thing of beauty that will look and feel as good as when it was laid for years and years to come. |
