A visit to see Westex carpets in production

Inside Westex: British craftsmanship at its best

Our team of Pierre, Laurence, Phil and Darren witnessed first hand the dedication and skill behind every Westex carpet. What sets them apart isn’t just advanced technology and premium materials, it’s the people and their commitment to quality and tradition.

Westex is built on a foundation of honest, hard-working British craftsmanship. The team takes immense pride in what they do, creating carpets that don’t just look beautiful but also perform exceptionally well in real homes, year after year.

Westex use top-tier British and New Zealand wool, meticulously dyed and finished for beauty and durability. Their carpets are a blend of heritage and delivering products that will enhance a home for years.

Why Westex carpets are the premium choice for your home

A high-quality carpet transforms a space, offering warmth, comfort and durability. Not all carpets are created equal, and when investing in flooring you need one that looks great and lasts.

That’s where Westex carpets stand out.

There’s something truly special about stepping onto a luxurious, beautifully crafted carpet: a feeling of warmth, quality and comfort underfoot. A Westex carpet looks and feels luxurious and will stand the test of time.

At Art of Flooring, we're proud to be trusted experts and retailers of Westex carpets in Cambridge, supporting homeowners and designers in Cambridgeshire to make the best choice for their spaces.

The Westex difference: Luxury created sustainably and designed to last

Westex carpets stand out for their precision and sustainability:

A single sheep’s fleece produces about 5,000 metres of yarn, enough for just one square metre of carpet.
Westex uses 10,000 fleeces per week to create their high-quality carpets.
Wool production has declined by over 50% since the 1960s, but Westex remains committed to this natural, sustainable fibre.

Built to last

Westex carpets use 2-ply and 3-ply wool yarns for superior durability. Their advantages include:

Enhanced resilience: The yarn structure acts like a spring, maintaining appearance longer and not flattening with foot traffic.
Doesn’t flatten: Wool carpets lose only 1.5mm of pile height over years of use, compared to 3mm for polyester and 5.5mm for polypropylene.
Fire resistance: Wool withstands temperatures up to 700°C, unlike synthetic fibres that melt at 160°C.
Perfect for high-traffic areas, homes with pets, and anyone seeking lasting quality.

Extra protection

Mothproofing: Protects against common carpet pests.
Stain Resist Technology: Repels spills, making cleaning up easier.
Allergy Guard: Prevents dust mites and allergens for a healthier home.
Fresh Guard: Neutralises pet odours for long-lasting freshness.

These enhancements are usually only found in specialist products but come as standard with every Westex carpet.
