Product Spotlight: AX Express

Quick-Ship Carpet That Doesn’t Cut Corners

In tribal-led hospitality and gaming environments, design is not just about aesthetics. It is about sovereignty, story, and space. Every detail matters, especially what’s underfoot.

That is why I want to take a moment to highlight a product more people in our industry should be considering: Axminster Express from Encore Hospitality Carpet.

Axminster carpet has long been the gold standard for hospitality flooring, not just because of its durability but because of its ability to support rich, layered design stories. With AxExpress, we get all the benefits of traditional Axminster, paired with the speed and flexibility needed to meet the real-world demands of gaming environments.


Why it works in gaming:

  • Design Freedom: Up to 16 custom colors and pattern repeats up to 25 feet. This makes it ideal for translating visual identity into carpet that carries meaning.

  • Performance: A durable 80% wool, 20% nylon blend that handles heavy traffic while maintaining its appearance.

  • Quick Turnaround: Ships in as little as 2 to 4 weeks, with no minimums and no color limitations.

Too often, we are asked to choose between honoring design vision and meeting tight timelines. AxExpress helps remove that compromise. When the carpet is carrying more than just a pattern, when it is carrying meaning, we cannot afford to rush or water it down.

For tribal projects, flooring becomes an opportunity to reflect culture and affirm identity in a space built for community. When we can move quickly and still stay true to the story, we protect something much more important than a schedule. We protect the narrative.

If you are working on a renovation or a new build and need support aligning your flooring package with your design intent, I am happy to walk it through with you.

Because when it comes to legacy, every layer counts.
