The Brintons storyA Brintons woven carpet is born from over two centuries of

experience and expertise. Wherever you are and whatever

your project, Brintons has the product, expertise and capability

to create innovative and timeless solutions. From hotels to

airports, restaurants to convention centers, cruise ships to

offices, Brintons has produced award-winning carpets that

have combined innovative design with quality and outstanding

commercial performance.

In the 1950s, Brintons invented the 80 per cent wool 20 per

cent nylon blend which is now the global standard for axminster

around the world. This blend combines the comfort of wool

with the strength and durability of nylon. This blend continues

to perform excellently and it is used in our products today,

woven on looms designed and built by Brintons.

But the Brintons story doesn’t stop there. We are continuing to

develop and innovate creating new yarn textures, design

capabilities and technologies to bring you products and

services which inspire and excite and are suitable for any

commercial interior.
