Recommended carpet qualities
Durable carpet quality for optimal lifetime in hospitality projects
Choose the right quality to optimise the lifespan of your carpet
When you choose a carpet for your hospitality project, it is important to choose a quality that can withstand the heavy wear and tear, so that the carpet will have a long life. The choice of carpets is crucial for both aesthetics and functionality.
One of the parameters in ensuring a long lifespan for the carpet solution is proper cleaning. In our maintenance manual you can learn about the recommended daily maintenance and cleaning. The carpets’ high durability together with the correct maintenance ensures both premium carpet quality and an aesthetically appearance that will last for years to come.

Weights and quality explained
Pile weight
Conditioned yarn weight in g/m2, woven or tufted into the carpet. Tolerance -10% + 15%
Luxury rating class
Refers to the carpet’s comfort level in a range from one to five. The more comfortable and softer a carpet is, the higher the LC number
Overall Classification
This classification shows the amount of traffic the carpet has been tested and approved for. The rating for contract use goes from 31 – 33.
High quality yarns
Our carpets are manufactured in an 80/20 wool/nylon blend using pre- or undyed yarn.
Pre-dyed Yarns
Pre-dyed yarns offer the advantage of preserving vibrant and saturated colours over time, due to the colour being consistent throughout the entire carpet fibre. These pre-dyed options are ideal for those who desire long-lasting, rich hues that will not fade easily.
Undyed yarns
Undyed yarns are developed by blending the raw wool from sheep of various breeds and colours, resulting in a beautiful range of nuances. This carpet solution is called Colortec ORIGIN. The yarn is mixed before the spinning process. It is a very meticulous process, done by hand, to ensure the right nuance.
Whether you prefer the enduring brilliance of pre-dyed yarns or the natural and diverse style of undyed yarns, we will help you define which carpet solution will be the best for your project.
