Product Overview
For over three decades, Sunshine Carpet has engineered flooring solutions for the world’s most demanding hospitality environments. Our Luxury Axminster Carpet represents the pinnacle of traditional woven craftsmanship married to modern commercial performance — a product built not merely to cover a floor, but to define the first impression of a five-star lobby, the acoustic calm of a corridor, or the visual drama of a grand ballroom.
Woven on true Axminster looms using a premium Tibetan plateau wool and nylon blend, our carpets are prized for their dense, tightly-packed pile construction, richly saturated color rendition, and an almost limitless capacity for intricate, multi-color pattern work. Where tufted or printed alternatives compromise on detail and longevity, genuine Axminster construction delivers pattern fidelity and structural durability that hold their integrity for decades of heavy commercial use.
As a vertically integrated source factory, Sunshine Carpet controls every stage of production — from yarn dyeing and pattern engineering to weaving, finishing, and quality inspection. This means our hotel procurement partners, designers, and contractors work directly with the manufacturer, not an intermediary — unlocking true bespoke design freedom, factory-direct pricing, and the production accountability that large-scale hospitality and marine projects demand.
Key Features & Benefits
- Premium Wool-Nylon Blend (typically 80% Wool / 20% Nylon) — Combines the natural resilience, warmth, and luxurious hand-feel of wool with the added abrasion resistance and dimensional stability of nylon, so your carpet resists crushing and matting under years of foot traffic while retaining a soft, premium underfoot experience for guests.
- Genuine Axminster Weave Construction — A dense, tightly woven pile structure that locks color and pattern into the base of the carpet itself, ensuring your custom design stays crisp and vibrant far longer than printed or tufted alternatives — protecting your brand’s visual identity investment.
- Engineered for High-Traffic Commercial Environments — Purpose-built for hotel lobbies, corridors, banquet halls, and casino floors, delivering exceptional wear resistance and a significantly extended service life, which directly reduces your total cost of ownership and replacement frequency.
- 100% Bespoke / Custom Design Capability — Our engineering team can reproduce virtually any pattern complexity and color count, from intricate heritage motifs to bold contemporary branding, giving designers full creative freedom to express a property’s unique identity without design compromise.
- Fire Safety Certified — Manufactured to meet international flame-retardant standards (ASTM E648, BS 5852, and equivalent regional codes on request), giving procurement and compliance teams the documentation needed to pass fire-safety inspections and insurance requirements with confidence.
- Anti-Static Performance — Reduces static discharge in carpeted areas, protecting sensitive electronic equipment in conference and business centers and improving guest comfort.
- Easy Maintenance & Soil Resistance — Engineered fiber and weave density resist soiling and simplify professional cleaning regimens, helping housekeeping teams maintain a consistently premium appearance with lower long-term maintenance costs.
- Superior Acoustic & Comfort Performance — The dense pile construction contributes to sound absorption in corridors and public areas, enhancing the sense of quiet luxury guests expect from a premium property.

1. Customization & Design
Q: Do you offer fully custom carpet designs? Is there a design fee?
A: Yes — we provide 100% custom hotel carpet design and manufacturing. Our in-house design team works exclusively with your brand guidelines, color palette, and spatial requirements to create bespoke Axminster patterns for lobbies, corridors, guest rooms, ballrooms, and casinos. We offer free design concepts and pattern development for qualified commercial projects — there is no upfront design fee. Our designers will also refine your pattern’s scale, repeat, and colorway to ensure it performs correctly on the Axminster loom before production.
Q: How do I submit my design? What file formats do you accept?
A: We accept CAD, PDF, AI, EPS, and high-resolution JPEG/PNG files. If you already have a finished pattern, our technical team will convert it into a loom-ready file at no charge. If you don’t have a finished design yet, simply share reference images, a mood board, or your hotel’s interior style concept, and our designers will develop an original pattern proposal tailored to your project — whether that’s a classic damask motif for a heritage property or a contemporary geometric design for a boutique hotel.
2. Samples & Quality Assurance
Q: Can you provide samples before I place an order? Who pays for shipping?
A: Yes. We offer both stock pattern samples (available immediately) and custom hand-tufted or loom-woven strike-offs for bespoke designs, so you can verify color accuracy, pile density, and construction before committing to a bulk order. Samples themselves are provided free of charge; the buyer is only responsible for the courier/express shipping cost. For confirmed bulk orders, this sample fee is typically credited back against your final invoice.
Q: What international fire safety and environmental standards do your carpets meet?
A: Our Axminster carpets are manufactured to meet major international hospitality and commercial standards, including CRI Green Label Plus (indoor air quality), ASTM E648 / ASTM E662 flame spread and smoke density testing, and BS 4790 (hot metal nut test) for UK and EU markets. We can also test to NFPA 253, EN 13501-1, and other regional fire codes as required by your local building authority. All test reports are available from accredited third-party laboratories, and we’re glad to provide certificates matching your specific project’s compliance requirements before you finalize your order.
3. MOQ & Pricing
Q: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for Axminster carpet?
A: As a factory offering direct commercial carpet MOQ flexibility, our typical minimum for custom Axminster patterns is around 200–300 square meters, though this varies depending on pattern complexity, number of colors, and yarn type. For simpler designs or repeat orders on existing patterns, we can often accommodate smaller quantities. Larger-area projects benefit from more competitive per-square-meter pricing, and we’re happy to provide a tiered quote once we understand your project scope.
Q: Why should I buy directly from a factory rather than a trading company?
A: Working directly with us as the manufacturer means no middleman markups, tighter quality control from yarn to finished roll, and full transparency over production standards. You get factory-direct competitive pricing, direct access to our technical and design teams for revisions, and a single point of accountability for quality, compliance documentation, and delivery — all of which are critical for hotel renovation and new-build timelines.
4. Lead Time & Delivery
Q: How long does it take from design confirmation to bulk delivery?
A: Sample/strike-off production typically takes 7–10 days. Once the design and sample are approved, bulk production generally requires 25–35 days, depending on total order area, pattern complexity, and our current production schedule. We provide a detailed carpet lead time timeline at order confirmation and keep you updated with production milestones so you can plan installation dates with confidence.
Q: What shipping terms do you support, and can you deliver worldwide?
A: We support FOB, CIF, EXW, and CFR terms, and can accommodate other Incoterms upon request. Through our long-term partnerships with international freight forwarders, we regularly ship to major ports and directly to project sites across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and beyond. We handle export documentation, packaging suited for long-distance transit, and can coordinate directly with your appointed logistics agent if you prefer.
5. Installation & Maintenance
Q: Do you provide guidance for carpet installation?
A: Yes. Every order includes detailed hospitality flooring installation documentation — seaming diagrams, pattern-matching layouts, roll sequencing, and installation best practices — to ensure your fitting team achieves a seamless result, especially important for large-format Axminster patterns with directional motifs or borders. Our technical team is also available to consult with your on-site installer or general contractor on request.
Q: How should hotel Axminster carpet be maintained day to day?
A: Axminster carpet is built for heavy commercial traffic, and proper maintenance extends its lifespan significantly. We recommend daily or scheduled vacuuming to remove surface grit, prompt spot-cleaning of spills before they set, and a professional deep clean annually (or more frequently in high-traffic areas like lobbies and corridors). Our carpets are woven predominantly from New Zealand wool, which offers natural soil and stain resistance, excellent resilience, and helps maintain appearance retention over years of continuous hospitality use.
