Benefits of Wool Carpet

Why choose wool carpet

When you choose wool carpet, you've selected a natural fibre that's not only renewable and eco friendly but enduringly beautiful.

Over the years, we have seen for ourselves just how durable wool carpet really is. It stands the test of time like no other carpet fibre. Wool carpet sets the standard for all carpet fibres. Its superiority stems from the complexity of the fibre developed by mother nature to protect sheep in all weather conditions. When you choose your flooring you should consider the benefits of wool carpet.

Wool carpet not only provides softness, warmth, and comfort underfoot but it also insulates your home. Wool carpet is seen by many as an investment in your home, which justifies the higher price tag. However when selected, if properly maintained, wool carpet can last for many years, sometimes even decades.

Top 10 advantages of wool carpet

Eco friendly

Wool is a 100% natural renewable fibre, it’s biodegradable, sustainable and all-round environmentally friendly. See the life cycle of wool on our environment and sustainability page.

Quiet

The acoustic properties of wool help keep rooms quieter by absorbing airborne noise and reducing its transmission through floors.

Durable

Wool is not only hard wearing and durable but it retains it’s look for longer and therefore is more cost-effective. Wool will last for decades in a home when properly maintained.

Natural Humidifier

When the air is humid, the wool carpet will absorb the excess moisture in the air. Consequently, when the air is drier, the fibres will release the moisture, thereby helping to keep the home’s moisture levels in balance.

Flame Resistant

Wool will not burn unless at extreme temperatures such as 570- 600°C this differs significantly from synthetic fibres in this regard, making it safer for your family.

Hypoallergenic

It’s great for asthmatics and allergy sufferers. Wool does not promote the growth of dust mites or bacteria or give off harmful emissions. Wool also traps potential allergens, removing them from the air you breathe.

Soil Resistance

Because wool is a natural fibre, the fibres have microscopic scales. These scales help to prevent dirt from embedding in the carpet fibres, that’s why wool has such an excellent resistance to soiling therefore making it easy to clean.

Comfortable

Naturally regulates the temperature of the room, saving energy costs and therefore keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter.

Crush Resistant

Wool is naturally crush resistant, it bounces back into shape when crushed. The wool fibre is naturally curly, which causes it to bounce back into shape when crushed and retaining their resilience and luxuriously soft feel underfoot.

Air purifier

Wool naturally improves indoor air quality by absorbing and redistributing moisture front the air.
