The Industrial Neotex 2026 Textile Collection explores how design, materials and technical performance can work together to meet the real requirements of aircraft interiors.
By Industrial Neotex Design & Textile Development Team
This new article in the 2026 Textile Collection series focuses on Dotted Stripe, an aircraft carpet design developed for high-traffic surfaces, where durability, maintenance, weight and visual consistency must be considered together.
Aircraft carpet is one of the cabin surfaces most exposed to intensive daily use. Continuous passenger and crew traffic, regular cleaning procedures and operational activity require materials that can maintain both their performance and visual appearance over time.
Dotted Stripe, part of the Industrial Neotex 2026 Textile Collection, combines a balanced graphic pattern with the performance required for high-traffic areas across aircraft cabin interiors.
Design that supports daily cabin operations
The Dotted Stripe pattern creates visual rhythm through a structured composition of linear and geometric elements. It can help define different cabin areas, add depth to the floor surface and coordinate the carpet with other materials and finishes.
Beyond its decorative role, this type of pattern contributes to maintaining a consistent visual appearance across surfaces exposed to frequent use.
Its colour range allows the design to be adapted to different cabin concepts, from understated corporate environments to interiors requiring greater visual contrast.
Aircraft carpets developed for intensive use
As an experienced aircraft carpet manufacturer, Industrial Neotex develops textile solutions that integrate design, technical requirements and operational considerations.
Aircraft carpets must respond to factors including:
- Frequent passenger and crew traffic.
- Regular vacuuming and cleaning procedures.
- Integration with the airline’s visual identity.
- Weight optimisation within aircraft cabin interiors.
- Compliance with applicable aviation requirements.
Dotted Stripe belongs to a lightweight aircraft carpet collection manufactured from 100% recycled nylon, selected to combine technical performance, design flexibility and more efficient use of materials.
Durability and design should be considered together
Selecting an aircraft carpet is not only a matter of choosing a colour or pattern.
Design must be assessed alongside material resistance, maintenance requirements, weight and expected performance throughout the carpet’s operational life.
As an aviation textile manufacturer, Industrial Neotex works with airlines, OEMs and MROs to transform cabin concepts into technically viable and manufacturable textile solutions adapted to the requirements of each programme.
Design, durability and fire performance
In aircraft cabin interiors, durability must be combined with appropriate fire performance. Aircraft carpets are used in a highly regulated environment, where materials, finishes and manufacturing processes must be considered in relation to the safety requirements applicable to each programme.
At Industrial Neotex, textile design is developed with not only aesthetics, weight and maintenance in mind, but also the fire-resistance requirements specific to aircraft interiors.
This technical approach is also explored in a recent article published by Aircraft Cabin Management (pp. 27–30), part of Aviation Business News, in which industry professionals discuss the importance of selecting cabin materials that combine design, durability, certification and safety.
