Masland carpet: a designer's guide to the line, the fibers and where it belongs
Masland carpet is residential broadloom from one of the oldest carpet names in the country, founded in 1866 by Charles H. Masland and owned by The Dixie Group since 1993, built on wool and on tufting done carefully. It is for the designer specifying a whole house, a wool texture in the living room, a dense nylon cut pile through the bedrooms and halls, a pet-rated style in the family room, from one mill with one fiber system. Interiors carries 208 Masland styles, all broadloom, on the Masland brand page, with complimentary samples for approved trade accounts shipped from the mill.
The mill
Masland began in Germantown, Pennsylvania, in 1866 and has woven and tufted carpet in the United States since. The mill in Atmore, Alabama, opened in 1968, and The Dixie Group has owned the brand since 1993. Masland and Fabrica share that parent company and a fiber system, so the same EnVision Nylon yarns appear in both lines; in practice Masland leans toward texture and wool, Fabrica toward dense solids. In our catalog, 160 styles are made in the USA, 31 in India and 17 in Turkey.
What we carry
Of the 208 styles, 157 are tufted, 14 hand-loomed and hand-woven, 13 hand-tufted, 12 flatweave and 10 Wilton. Tufted is the mill's core: loops, cut piles and cut-loop textures in nylon and wool, dense enough to spec for a stair. By fiber, 118 styles are nylon, 62 wool, 24 polypropylene and 4 polyester. Nylon is the resilient synthetic for halls and stairs; wool is the fiber for the rooms that are meant to last. By pile, 59 styles are medium, 0.31 to 0.50 in, 36 low, 33 high and 8 flat.
Roll widths are 12 ft on 152 styles, 15 ft on 37 and 13 ft 2 in on 19; the 15 ft goods take a bedroom without a seam. By pattern, 119 styles are textures, 30 abstract and modern, 26 geometrics, 14 stripes and 7 plaids and checks. Every style is made to order. In the catalog, 32 styles are marked pet friendly under EnVision SD Pet Solutions and 20 carry a commercial warranty option; ask us for the warranty terms on a specific style.
Collections to know
EnVision Nylon is the largest group we carry at 76 styles: the solid and tonal cut piles a whole-house spec needs. 1866 by Masland has 75 styles and is where the line shines for designers, loop and cut-loop wool textures, tweeds and heathers, with 1866 by Masland All Seasons adding 15 styles for a lighter, coastal look. Energy has 23 styles, EnVisionSD 16, and EnVisionSD Pet Solutions 2 for clients with dogs. Styles to know include Braided Opulence, Distinctive, Defined, Lucca, Harrogate and Feliciti.
Where it belongs
Masland wool carpet, the 1866 by Masland textures and the hand-loomed group, belongs in living rooms, dining rooms, studies and primary bedrooms. A wool loop or cut-loop tweed hides tracking in a living room and reads as texture rather than color under strong furniture. Masland nylon carpet, EnVision Nylon and EnVisionSD, goes through the bedrooms, halls and stairs of a whole-house spec: choose a dense low cut pile or a loop for the stair and the hall and let the softer, higher piles go into the bedrooms. The pet-rated EnVisionSD styles belong in family rooms and anywhere a dog lives. The 12 flatweaves and the All Seasons group suit a beach house. For a Masland stair runner, a Wilton or a low loop is the choice.
Custom rugs and runners
Masland is a broadloom mill, and the catalog does not mark its styles custom rug available, so for Masland custom rugs and stair runners ask us about the specific style. Where the construction binds cleanly, a tufted loop, a Wilton or a flatweave, we cut and bind through our Design Studio and confirm with the mill before we quote.

Questions designers ask
Is Masland carpet good quality?
Yes. Masland is a good-quality mill with a long record in wool, and the tufted nylon is dense and the wool textures are made to wear. Choose a loop or a dense low cut pile for stairs and halls and reserve the softer plush styles for bedrooms. Masland carpet reviews from designers tend to come back to the same point: the wool tweeds and heathers in 1866 by Masland age well.
Is Masland a high end carpet?
Yes. Masland sells through flooring dealers and design showrooms, works in nylon and wool rather than polyester, and sits with Fabrica and Karastan rather than with builder-grade lines. It is a residential mill at the top of the tufted market rather than a woven decorative mill.
How much does Masland carpet cost?
Net pricing is quoted to approved trade accounts; we do not publish Masland carpet prices. Within the line, wool styles cost more than nylon, hand-loomed and Wilton more than tufted, and wider rolls more per yard. Tell us the room and we will quote the two or three styles that fit.
Where is Masland carpet made?
Mostly in the United States. Masland carpet is made in Atmore, Alabama, where the mill opened in 1968, and 160 of the 208 styles in our catalog are made in the USA; 31 are made in India and 17 in Turkey, mainly the hand-loomed and flatweave groups. Ask us for the spec sheet on a specific style for its country of origin.
Who owns Masland carpet?
The Dixie Group, which has owned the brand since 1993 and also owns Fabrica. The company itself dates to 1866 and Charles H. Masland, and it is still in business, which is a question designers ask because the name is old enough to have been through several owners.
Where can I buy Masland carpet?
Through Masland dealers and trade showrooms such as Interiors. We carry 208 Masland styles for interior design professionals, with the library on the floor in the Laguna Design Center, and we ship and install nationwide. Masland carpet samples ship from the mill to your office.
Can Masland carpet be made into a rug or stair runner?
Ask us about the style. The catalog does not mark Masland styles custom rug available, but a tufted loop, a Wilton or a flatweave generally binds cleanly, and we confirm with the mill and draw it through our Design Studio before we quote. For a stair, a Wilton or a dense low loop in nylon or wool is the choice.
