Ulster Carpets Axminster and Wilton carpet for the trade
Ulster Carpets has woven Axminster and Wilton in Portadown, Northern Ireland, since 1938, and remains family owned. Interiors carries the Ulster Carpets residential range only: 113 styles across 19 collections, 388 colorways, every one made to order and shipped from the mill, with complimentary samples for approved trade accounts. The hospitality custom program is quoted separately.
Fibers are 80 percent wool, 20 percent nylon (106 styles) and 100 percent wool (7). Constructions are woven Axminster (103), tufted loop (7) and woven Wilton (3). Most Axminster patterns are woven in 15 ft, 12 ft, 9 ft, 6 ft and 3 ft widths, which lets a hall, stair and landing be fitted without waste, and the plains come 16 ft 5 in and narrower. Eight styles are stair and hall runners.
Collections
Glenavy (20 styles) and Glenmoy (17) are the traditional Persian, tartan and Georgian Axminsters. Beaumont (12), Braeburn (7), Blossom and Glendun are the contemporary pattern Axminsters, and Watercolours (10) and Vescent (6) the painterly ones. Anatolia, Athenia, Sheriden and Tazmin are the kilim, motif and pindot families with matching runners. Grange Wilton (43 colors), York Wilton (60 colors) and Ulster Velvet (25 colors) are the plains, and Natura (7 styles), Habitus and Open Spaces the textured and tufted lines. Styles to know include Anatolia Medallion, Athenia Motif, Croft, Auckland and Queenstown.
Is Ulster Carpets good for stairs?
It is one of the mills we spec most for stairs. The 80/7 wool-nylon Axminster is rated extra heavy wear, the narrow widths cut waste on a straight run, and the runner versions of Anatolia, Athenia, Sheriden and Tazmin are woven with their borders in.
