Kane Carpet: a designer's guide to the line, the fibers and where it belongs
Kane Carpet is Wilton-woven patterned broadloom from a company founded in 1947 and based in Calhoun, Georgia, most of it woven in the mill's proprietary Eurolon fiber, a heat-set, solution-dyed synthetic yarn. It is for the designer who wants woven pattern, abstract, geometric, traditional, animal or floral, on a stair, in a hall or through a family room, at a cleanability the client can live with. Interiors carries 369 Kane Carpet styles, 350 broadloom and 19 runners, on the Kane Carpet brand page, with complimentary samples for approved trade accounts.
The mill
Kane Carpet has been in business since 1947 and is based in Calhoun, Georgia. Its signature is Eurolon, a heat-set, solution-dyed synthetic yarn that is anti-static and anti-microbial; solution-dyed means the color is in the fiber itself rather than applied to the surface, which is why it resists stains, bleach and sun. The mill weaves most of its range on Wilton looms, and Wilton weaving locks the pattern into the backing, which is why a Kane carpet stair runner holds its design at the nose of each tread. Through the Endless Rugs program, any Kane broadloom can be finished as a rug or runner in the size the room needs.
What we carry
Of the 369 styles, 327 are Wilton woven, with 24 hand-loomed, 5 hand-tufted, 4 machine woven, 4 flatweave and 2 Axminster. By fiber, 289 are polypropylene, which is where the Eurolon styles sit in our catalog, 45 are polyester, 20 wool, 9 wool blend and 3 nylon. The polypropylene Wiltons are the core of the line: patterned, cleanable and consistent from dye lot to dye lot. The wool and wool blend group is the hand-loomed and hand-tufted textures, and the polyester group is where the shags live, soft underfoot and best kept to bedrooms.
Widths are mostly 13 ft 2 in (291 styles), with 15 ft (41), 12 ft 10 in (15) and 26.5 in (16), the last being the woven runners. By pattern, 132 styles are abstract and modern, 74 geometrics, 63 traditional, 28 animal prints and 25 floral and botanical. Eight styles are marked indoor and outdoor fiber. The pack does not record a country of origin by style; ask us for the spec sheet on a specific style and we will confirm where it is woven.
Collections to know
Kane organizes the line into named collections, and the ones on this site are the Majestic Collection (10 styles), Premier Collection (9), Wear Ever Collection (9), Opulent Collection (9), Essentials Collection (8), Prestige Shag Collection (7), Textured Home Collection (7), Natural Luxury Collection (6), Luxure Collection (5), Polo Collection (4), Paragon Collection (4), Noble Collection (3), and the Marquise, Vibrance and Luxe Couture collections with 2 each. Designers also ask by name for the Himalaya textures and the Woven Classics and Woven Treasures pattern groups; ask us and we will pull them. Styles to know include Royce, Crave, Aptitude, Riverside, Affinity, Aruba, Stella and Laguna Beach.
Where it belongs
A Kane Carpet stair runner is the order we place most with this mill. Choose a Wilton style: the pattern holds at the nosing, the 26.5 in woven runners come with their edges finished, and a 13 ft 2 in broadloom cut and bound gives you any width. In a hall or an entry, the geometrics and small abstracts hide tracking, and the solution-dyed fiber takes a wet-cleaning. A family room, a playroom or a rental takes the polypropylene Wiltons where a wool would show wear; the Wear Ever group is named for it. The traditional, animal and floral patterns go in a study, a library or a dining room as the room's one strong move. Keep the polyester shags to bedrooms and sitting rooms, where softness is the point and crush is not a risk, and put the 8 indoor-and-outdoor styles on a covered porch or a loggia.
Custom rugs and runners
Through the Endless Rugs program, any Kane broadloom can be finished as a rug or runner in the size the room needs, and our Design Studio handles the drawing and the edge. Send us the room dimensions or the stair count and tread width and we will render it, quote it net and confirm the finishing with the mill. The 19 runner styles are woven narrow and are the fastest route to a finished stair.

Questions designers ask
Is Kane Carpet good quality?
Yes, for patterned woven broadloom at a cleanable price point. Wilton weaving is a high-end construction, and the Eurolon fiber is solution-dyed, anti-static and anti-microbial. It is not a wool line, and the look is pattern and texture rather than a plush solid; for a wool plush, open a different book. Sample first and look at the back to see the woven construction.
What are the price ranges for Kane Carpet?
Kane sits in the mid range for woven patterned broadloom. Net pricing is quoted to approved trade accounts; we do not publish Kane Carpet prices. Cost is driven by fiber, polypropylene lowest and wool highest, by construction, hand-loomed and Axminster above Wilton, and by width, with the narrow runners quoted by the linear foot.
Where is Kane Carpet made?
The company is based in Calhoun, Georgia. Our catalog does not record a country of origin by style, so ask us for the spec sheet on the specific style you are considering and we will confirm where it is woven.
Where can I buy Kane Carpet?
Through Kane Carpet dealers and trade showrooms such as Interiors. We carry 369 Kane Carpet styles for interior design professionals, with the library on the floor in the Laguna Design Center, and we ship and install nationwide. Kane Carpet samples ship from the mill to your office.
Can Kane Carpet be made into a rug or stair runner?
Yes. Through the Endless Rugs program any Kane broadloom can be finished as a rug or runner, our Design Studio draws and quotes it, and 19 styles are woven as narrow runners. Choose a Wilton style for the stair so the pattern holds at the nosing.
What kind of Kane Carpet is dog friendly?
The polypropylene Wiltons. Solution-dyed fiber does not absorb a stain, cleans with water and resists sun, and a woven loop does not snag the way a cut-pile shag does. Keep the polyester shags and the wool hand-loomed textures for rooms the dog does not use.
