To many people the words ‘flying carpet’ project thoughts from the fantasy world, but to MANX they are the practical reality of producing aviation carpets that fly daily to worldwide destinations.

MANX specializes in the weaving of custom designed Wilton carpets for use in cabin interiors. Each airline is unique in its requirements but the essential properties to consider are:

CABIN AMBIANCE

MANX can produce carpets in custom colours and designs in a variety of weights and pile constructions.

• 100% WOOL – The ultimate in luxury and esthetics with its rich colours and resilient pile in a general weight range of 50 oz- 60 oz per sq. yd.

• 70% WOOL 30% NYLON – This construction combines the luxury property of wool with the added durability of the nylon fibre. It has a general weight of 42- 46 oz per yd. without any loss in performance.
   
• 100% BCF NYLON – This specification is a durable carpet with a lower weight of 40-46 oz per sq. yd. The colours are solution dyed which gives low maintenance and extreme colour fastness coupled with the economics of weight savings.
   
• NYLON MICRO WEIGHT CARPET – In response to the demand for the economics of weight savings on the aircraft, MANX designed its 36-39 oz weight range carpet in solution dyed BCF nylon pile. This micro weight specification couples the potential of low maintenance and longevity when subjected to the aisle traffic wear. 

DIMENSIONAL STABILITY

In relation to its total weight, the woven Wilton carpet has the highest percentage of its weight in the surface pile when compared to other systems of carpet manufacturing.

Carpet dimensional stability is maintained by interweaving fire resistant, synthetic backing yarns.

MANX’s synthetic warp yarns are anti mildew and anti-static.

MANX’s backcoating finish has strong tuft bind and anti-fray properties that when cut leave a clean edge.
