Our roots are firmly planted in sheep farming and the textile heartland of West Yorkshire. Westex was originally founded by a master dyer who wanted to offer a wider range of colour and quality within carpet manufacture.
We still draw on and develop that legacy today, weaving luxury and durability into our carpets by utilising the best blend of wools, spinning techniques, dyeing and tufting processes. Every style and every colour is designed in-house at our dedicated manufacturing sites in West Yorkshire, ensuring excellence at every step for your carpet.
Why wool?
The beauty of wool is not merely aesthetic, but fundamentally practical. The inherent characteristics of the fibres; warmth, softness and insulation, are maintained from field to floor. Plus, the bulk and springiness of wool naturally reforms after any compression, and the natural oils and scaled structure of the fibres offer inbuilt stain resistance.
The combination of durability and softness makes wool the natural choice for premium carpet manufacture. Add to that the fact that wool is an entirely sustainable material (annual shearing is vital for animal welfare), a Westex carpet is one of the most environmentally sound choices you will make.
