Bentley Prince Street



Bentley Prince Street is a carpet manufacturer that has some pretty cool patterns. One interesting thing that I saw on the website, was that they have a new creation called Modloom™, which is a combination of modular tile and broadloom carpet. They come in rectangular planks, 50 centimeter by 1 meter, which offers more options like patterns such as herringbone, parquet or ashlar.

The pattern (style number 4LR220620R) above is called Lake Street 4LR22, in the color No Seatbelts 400950. It comes in 12 colorways total.

In addition to the modloom tile size 19.69 in x 39.38 in, it comes in a 12' broadloom format.

It has a fiber content of Aquafil Alto Chroma® solution dyed nylon. Its backing options are High PerformancePC™, Prestige PlusRC™, Optimum Barrier™ II, Optimum BarrierRC™ II Cushion, and NexStep® Cushion Tile.

Its construction is made of tufted textured loop. It has many finishes: a soil/stain protection and an antimicrobial Intersept® layer, and it also has a secondary backing of High PerformancePC™.

Its yarn weight is 22 oz/yd² and with a machine gauge of 1/12 in. It has three pile heights: high: .2 in, medium .14 in, and low .08 in. The stitches appear ever 8.7". The pile density is 6514 with a thickness of .28. It has a size of 12'. Its pattern repeats every 24" w x 43 11/16" l.

The pattern has passed a Radiant Panel Class 1 test (ASTM E648) for Critical Radiant Flux. It is DM Corrected for Smoke Density. It passed the static test (AATCC - 134) < 3.5 KV. It also passed the Methenamine Pill Test (DOC-FF1-70) for flammability.

I could not find any environmental information on the site, but there are plenty of documents regarding installation, warranties, and maintenance. Installation information can be found here. Warranty information can be found here. Cleaning instructions can be found here. The website also allows you to access the factory's inventory for a specific pattern and colorway.
