Hospitality and contract
Hospitality rugs,
made to your specification.
Lobbies, suites, corridors, restaurants and ballrooms. Any size, any shape, woven to your drawing in Bhadohi, India, and delivered to your fit-out sequence.
Zone by zone
A hotel is not one floor decision.
It is six or seven, and the construction that survives a lobby is not the one that belongs in a suite. We specify per zone and hold the scheme together across all of them.
Lobby and reception
The hardest-worn floor in the building and the first thing a guest sees. Low-pile hand-knotted wool or a dense flatweave, in a palette that hides traffic without looking like it is hiding anything.
Guest rooms and suites
Repeatable at volume and consistent across hundreds of keys. Bedside runners, full-room pieces or bed-surround sets, all woven to one dye lot per phase so room 210 matches room 640.
Corridors
Long runs where a seam would show. We weave corridor lengths in one piece wherever the loom width allows, with directional patterns set to the walking line.
Restaurants and bars
Spill tolerance and cleanability lead the specification here. Wool for its natural resistance, constructions that lift stains rather than hold them, colourways that forgive.
Ballrooms and event space
The large-format work. Single pieces well beyond standard loom widths, set out to the room's own geometry and to the chandelier or ceiling rose above.
Spa, wellness and back of house
Quieter constructions where acoustics and underfoot softness matter more than pattern. Undyed and natural fibre options where the scheme calls for restraint.
Representative interiors, shown to illustrate placement. Photographs of completed commissions are shared on request, subject to the client’s permission.
What we handle
The parts of a contract job that go wrong.
Most of what a procurement lead worries about is not the weaving. It is the seam, the dye lot, the phase that slipped and the replacement four years later.
Programme
Realistic dates, given up front.
These are the timings we work to, not best cases. Where your programme is tighter than this, tell us at enquiry and we will say plainly whether it is possible.
- Brief and drawing review
- 1 to 3 days from receiving your plan or CAD file
- Quotation
- 1 to 2 business days for a standard specification
- Strike-off or sample
- 25 to 35 days, depending on construction and number of colours
- Sample correction, if needed
- A second cycle, quoted at the time
- Bulk production
- From 60 days, by order size, construction and loom load
- Inspection and packing
- To your inspection standard, packed to your fit-out sequence
- Shipping
- All Incoterms 2020. FOB Nhava Sheva is the usual default for the US and Western Europe
Specification support
The technical detail, written out in full.
Fire classification, pile weight, slip resistance and underlay selection are covered properly in our specification writing rather than summarised here.
On certification: Raheem and Son is a CEPC-registered export house. Fire test certificates, GoodWeave-licensed production, ISO, OEKO-TEX, SEDEX and BSCI audits are arranged per order or per programme for qualifying projects rather than held as standing documents. Tell us what your specification requires and we will confirm in writing what can be provided and on what timeline, before you commit.
Send us the drawing.
Floor plans, approximate sizes per zone and your fit-out dates are enough to start. We reply with pricing, lead times and sampling options, usually within one business day.
Hospitality projects
What procurement teams ask
Can you produce a rug large enough for a hotel ballroom in one piece?
In most cases yes. Our looms are set up wide and for ballroom and lobby work we build the loom to the piece rather than cutting a piece down. Where a dimension genuinely exceeds what a loom can carry, we design the join into a pattern break so it reads as part of the design. We will tell you which of the two applies to your drawing before you place the order, not after.
We are opening in phases. Can delivery follow the programme?
Yes, and it is how most hotel work runs. We split production by phase and hold the dye lot across the whole programme, so floors delivered nine months apart still match. Tell us the fit-out sequence and we ship to it.
If a rug is damaged in a few years, can you match it?
Yes. We keep the specification, the dye recipe and the reference sample for every project we produce, so a replacement is woven against the original record rather than against a photograph. Tell us the project and the position and we will quote the replacement.
How do you keep hundreds of guest rooms consistent?
One dye lot per phase, a retained reference sample, and inspection against that sample rather than against the previous batch. Consistency across a large key count is a production planning problem more than a weaving one, and it is planned at quotation rather than managed afterwards.
What do you need from us to quote a hospitality project?
Floor plans or a CAD file if you have them, approximate sizes and quantities per zone, the construction or budget level you have in mind, your market, and the fit-out dates. If you do not know the construction, describe the space and the traffic and we will recommend one.
Do you work directly with hotel groups, or only through designers?
Both. We supply architects, interior designers, procurement teams and hotel groups directly, and we are comfortable sitting behind a design practice as the manufacturer without fronting the relationship. Tell us which arrangement you want.
