New Poster Shows What Makes an Adam Carpet Better!

Posted on September 11, 2014 by chris

Adam Carpets have launched a new in store poster aimed at showing consumers that wool matters. Faced with an ever increasing selection of man-made fibres, this poster shows that not only do we use the finest wool based yarns, but that they make a big difference to the carpet.

Historically Brits have preferred the feel, quality and durability of wool carpets over man-made. More recently with the financial crisis hitting the pockets of many, consumers have gravitated downwards towards cheaper wool or man-made products. These new posters show the benefits of the finest wools along with some features on what makes an Adam Carpet better.

Why no Fine Worcester Heathers?

Posted on September 11, 2014 by chris

One question we get asked a lot here at Adam Carpets is why we don’t put some heather colours into Fine Worcester Twist. The simple answer is we don’t need to because we have a range already called Fine Upland Heathers which is basically the same as a Fine Worcester Heathers range would be.

This range is made from the same highest quality two-ply yarn and is tufted on the same machine as Fine Worcester, so you get that pinpoint, billiard table finish that it is famous for.

It is available in sixteen beautiful heathers and is available 4m and 5m wide. The only difference is in the weight of the pile, where it is just 4oz lighter.

If you are looking for a high quality heather carpet for your house, but want the same quality and style that Fine Worcester brings, then look no further than Fine Upland Heathers.

Getting Snazzy with Stripes!

Posted on September 11, 2014 by chris

Adam Carpets recently completed a project for a leading interior designer who requested something out of the ordinary on a striped theme.

Our in house design team came up with a number of options and we were delighted when they decided on Snazzy Stripe as show on the board below.

This original design came with three options, broad stripe, multi coloured narrow stripe and a two colour pin stripe border.

The client was very impressed and the project came in on time and on budget.

New Boiler Good to Go!

New chimney is lowered into place

The new boiler for our dye house is now up and running ahead of schedule, which is great news as we come into our busy Autumn period.

As previously mentioned this boiler represents a significant investment by Adam Carpets as we invest for the long term future of our business. This boiler, along with a second new one to be installed will ensure that we will be more efficient and economical in the manufacturing of future carpets. It will also have an environmental impact for the better as we will use less energy and water.

The picture above show the new chimney being lowered into place. Adam Carpets will continue to run its original boiler alongside the new one until the second one is installed in late September.

These new boilers are smaller than the original, giving a lot more flexibility in our production.

Increased Production at Adam Carpets

Adam Carpets have been actively recruiting staff across Production and Sales department to match the increased demand across a number of ranges.

“Sales for the first half of the year have been excellent.” said Chris Adam. “To make sure that we have the best stock positions available for our customers, we have increased our number of production staff, gone to a two shift work pattern of mornings and afternoons, as well as more yarn than at anytime over the last four years. We have also removed our annual September shutdown, so that we can run production straight through to Christmas.”

Chris continued “These extra measures are further examples of what we are doing to respond even quicker in the factory to our customer demand. Thank you to all of our customers for a fantastic first half of the year.”
