F&X Carpets Present the Fibre of the Future


With global warming being a very real and increasing concern, more and


more companies are introducing new ways in which their organisation can be greener. F&X Carpets is no exception with their latest fibre made out of recycled bottles.


There is no doubt that the carpet landscape has changed dramatically over recent years and that a new generation of consumer presents carpet retailers with a different set of challenges. However, with F&X Carpets by their side, the future for flooring retailers is now.


With Ara and Lyra, F&X Carpets is bringing the low impact of recycled content to homes across the country with its ‘Aevita’ fibre made entirely from plastic drinks bottles. More than just recycled, Aevita makes for a carpet that’s super-soft, strong and with inherent stain-resistance.


Gordon Hugo, Sales Manager at F&X Carpets, said: “Aevita is the future of fibre for the home and brings all the ease of living expected from modern carpet with lower impact on diminishing resources,


“More over, it is Aevita’s ability to tick all the right boxes for homeowners that makes it such an attractive proposition. Incredibly soft, hard-wearing, stain-resistant and bleach-cleanable, it really is a carpet fibre that fits with modern expectations.”


F&X Carpets has developed a more natural look for its Aevita styles, meaning that both Ara and Lyra are more suited to UK taste than alternatives. With a weight of 2,400g/m2

weight. Both carpets use a two-ply yarn for even more resilience and recovery.


“It’s important that an innovation such as this is not just affordable by a few, but by the many and here Aevita strikes another blow for rivals,” continued Gordon.


“We’ve made Ara and Lyra in a specification that makes recycled content far more available, and this can only have a hugely positive impact on its acceptance within the marketplace.”


Ara and Lyra come with long 15-year stain and 10-year wear warranties and are rated for General Domestic Use. Each style is available in 10 on-trend colours and in a four-metre width.
