A TASTE OF MANSION LUXURY WITH WILTON CARPETS


Wilton Carpets has launched the Mansion collection of luxury axminster carpet, inspired by London’s historic mansion buildings. Created by the Wilton Carpets design team, this hand- picked collection relies on strong linear geometrics, echoing the period features of these illustrious buildings, which are considered among the city’s most unique architectural treasures.


Made for communal areas in luxury apartment buildings, but just as suited to use in hotels and other hospitality locations, the Mansion collection features 16 unique designs; from contemporary concepts to classical sophistication. The Wilton design team has played with scale too, creating compact and refined designs ideal for smaller corridors, to large patterns that remain entirely elegant and best-suited to larger areas such as entrances.


Damian Roscoe, head of creative, Wilton Carpets, reveals: “The capital’s mansion buildings really are a hidden


gem and as a natural home for luxurious axminster carpet, they seemed an obvious muse for a carpet collection. With a rich architectural heritage spanning a period of over half-a-century, these buildings are a treasure trove of inspiration for carpet designers. Mansion captures this essence, with a layer of modernity that makes them equally relevant for communal areas of luxury apartments found in cities and towns right across the UK, as well as within the buildings that inspired them.”


Any of the 16 designs within the Mansion collection can be recoloured to match any interior design scheme and in various qualities depending on the footfall demands of the building. Wilton makes all its woven axminster carpets from a blend of 80% pure new wool and 20% nylon for the best combination of luxury and durability. The Mansion collection is designed and made in the Britain for unmistakable quality.

EXPONA FLOW HELPS TO REFRESH UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL WALES


RESTAURANT High design commercial sheet vinyl flooring from UK manufacturer Polyflor’s Expona Flow PUR collection was recently used to create a vibrant new restaurant area at University Hospital Wales in Cardiff.


Formerly known as the Heathfields restaurant, this hospital canteen has undergone a transformation and is now called Y Gegin, which means The Kitchen in Welsh. Approximately 600m² of Polyflor flooring was installed throughout the restaurant by Swansea based contractors Artisan Flooring.


The grey-toned Silver Oak and Smoked Oak wood effect designs from Polyflor’s Expona Flow flooring collection were installed alongside each other throughout the server stations, cashier desks, dining areas and around vending machines. The Expona Flow PUR collection of heterogeneous vinyl flooring features 50 wood, stone and abstract designs in a 2-metre wide sheet format with a 2mm gauge and 0.7mm wear layer, making it ideal for heavy commercial environments including the healthcare sector.


Polysafe Arena PUR safety flooring in the textile effect Chambray design was also installed behind the server stations to provide sustainable wet slip resistance in areas where spillages may occur. This design-led safety flooring range incorporates clear aluminium oxide safety particles through the performance layer of the vinyl which are virtually invisible to the naked eye, ensuring an attractive yet safe floor finish. Like all Polysafe ranges, Arena meets stringent slip

resistance requirements, achieving 36+ on the Pendulum Wet Test with full conformance to HSE Guidelines and EN 13845.


Both the Expona Flow and Polysafe Arena ranges are enhanced with polyurethane reinforcement which is cross linked and UV cured so these floorcoverings can be easily maintained with a simple cleaning regime, providing optimum appearance levels and reduced life cycle maintenance cost savings.
