Kalida manufactures Wilton woven mosque carpets for UK projects, with 100% pure wool and 80% wool / 20% polyamide options. Wool choices include Turkish, British and New Zealand wool. Its fire-resistant and flame-retardant mosque carpets have a Bfl-s1 reaction-to-fire classification under EN 13501-1. Wool quality credentials include Woolmark licence 30000990 and Wools of New Zealand licence WNZ260001. East London Mosque and Masjid-e-Vali (Blackburn, UK) are among Kalida's UK references. Fitting is available for UK projects, excluded from the carpet price and quoted separately on request. Considering the product, delivery terms and installation responsibilities together helps mosque committees and trustees assess the quotation scope.
Product selection and manufacturing scope
The manufacturing scope combines the carpet specification with your pattern and colour requirements. Kalida's mosque carpets use Wilton face-to-face weaving, three-ply pile yarn and a cut pile surface. Standard Plus, Premium, Exclusive and VelvetTouch options can be compared through point density, total weight and total thickness. Stating the quality name, fibre composition and wool origin together gives the project team a shared product description.
Kalida offers patterns, colours and project planning suited to the mosque's architecture, dimensions and prayer row layout. Quality samples are free of charge; bespoke production samples are chargeable. The product option represented by a sample can also be identified in quotation discussions. Share your material, pattern and colour preferences, together with any sample requirement. The mosque carpets page provides product details and frequently asked questions to support your selection.
Measurements and the prayer row plan
Measurements provide a common basis for manufacture and installation. Showing the main hall, gallery and separately carpeted spaces on one drawing helps everyone understand the coverage. Columns, the mihrab area and prayer row direction also inform pattern placement. Measuring responsibilities concern both the information supplied and the final plan checked for manufacture.
Two points need written answers during project discussions: who will provide the initial measurements, and who will check the final dimensions? Identifying the drawing date or version helps later changes be discussed against the same plan. Include your available dimensioned drawing and information on separate spaces with the enquiry. The discussion should also establish which plan the relevant parties will use if dimensions change.
Transport and delivery to site
The transport scope describes the delivery point and the work covered up to that point. Identifying the fitting area within the building is useful alongside the delivery address. Arrival at the address, unloading and movement to the installation area are separate steps. Their scope and responsible parties should be explained in writing within the quotation.
The main questions are who will arrange transport, where delivery will take place and who will handle unloading and movement inside the building. Customs and tax arrangements, document responsibilities and the treatment of related charges also need clarification for the project. Bringing these points together helps the committee assess product supply and delivery as one decision. Share the address, access information and expectations for the receiving point. The answers can then be checked against the same address and product selection.
Floor preparation and the working area
Site preparations need to be considered alongside the areas available during fitting. Existing carpet removal, assessment of the floor and any preparation required should be addressed as separate items in quotation discussions. This allows the committee to read the expected site work alongside the fitting item. Identifying a responsible party for each task makes the division of work clear before installation.
Access to the working area, available entrances and use of the prayer space also form part of the discussion. Information from mosque management helps preparations and fitting be planned together. Share what you know about the existing floor and use of the space. Written answers should identify who will complete the preparations, receive the materials and coordinate communication on site.
UK fitting as a separate quotation item
Kalida's UK fitting option allows carpet manufacture and installation to be considered in the same quotation discussion. Fitting is excluded from the product price and quoted separately when requested. Identifying the areas and work covered helps the installation requirement be assessed alongside the carpet description. The plan used for prayer row direction and pattern placement is also part of the fitting discussion.
Include your fitting requirement and project location in the enquiry. The installer, site contact, completion checks and exclusions should be explained in writing. Delivery and fitting sequence, together with the work programme, need to be clarified in the project quotation. Frequently asked questions on the mosque carpets page provide general information on samples and production; the programme for your project is addressed in quotation discussions.

Common questions about mosque carpets in the UK
How should supply and fitting be separated? The product section identifies carpet quality, material, pattern and quantity, while fitting appears as a separate item. The scope and responsible parties for measuring, transport, delivery and floor work are explained in writing.
Which responsibilities need written clarification? Initial and final measurement checks, transport, delivery point, customs and tax arrangements, floor preparation, site access and the installer belong on the same list. When assessing a mosque carpet price in the UK, these details help you read the product price alongside the overall project scope.
