Williams Lomas

Part of the Ryalux Group of companies based in Rochdale, Lancashire, William Lomas Carpets specialise in value-for-money tufted carpets.

The lastest carpet range for William Lomas is The Chatsworth Collection using as inspiration the treasures of Chatsworth House, the home of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, and its gardens.

Types of Carpet

There are four main methods of carpet construction. Construction itself is not an indication of quality and performance.

Machine Woven - Include well known constructions such as Axminster and Wilton. In both instances the pile yarn and the backing yarn are made into a carpet at the same time.

Tufted - The tufted construction utilises a prewoven backing cloth into which yarns are tufted.

Bonded - Several methods are used to bond either individual yarns or a bat or web of fibres onto a pre woven backing.

Hand Knotted - Mainly used to produce rugs and carpets (called squares) and predominantly from the middle and far East.
