all our manufacturing facilities and strive to ensure they have the same operating levels when it comes to quality , efficiency , and health and safety standards .

Priding itself on quality , Brintons operates with strict manufacturing standards and guidelines around sourcing . “ The single largest constituent part of a woven carpet is wool ,” Duccio states . “ In the 1950s , we developed an 80 / 20 mix – 80 percent wool and 20 percent nylon – which quickly became the industry standard , offering a yarn that is not only easier to weave , but also more durable . At Brintons , we use British wool in our production facilities , which is sourced in the UK and consolidated in the North of England , where it is cleaned and blended to our proprietary formula prior to shipping .
“ More recently , we have created a sustainable alternative carpet , which is completely plastic free and made from natural products including 100 per cent wool , cotton , and jute . As a biodegradable product , it ’ s working well with customers in residential and we are trialing it in selective commercial spaces , particularly as we see increasing demand for environmentally friendly products from our customers .
“ We have also acquired technology that will enable us to manufacture Axminster carpet
