Wool carpets create a level of comfort, warmth and cosiness that simply can’t be replicated by other types of flooring.
It provides effective sound insulation, reducing noise from foot traffic and absorbing sound from within the room and between floors, leading to a calmer, quieter atmosphere in your home.
Sustainable, efficient, luxurious…wool is truly a natural wonder when it comes to carpets. Here are the key features of a wool carpet:
- Natural Fibre: Wool is a renewable, biodegradable fibre sourced from sheep. It’s an eco-friendly choice compared to synthetic carpets.
- Durability: Wool fibres are naturally strong and resilient, making wool carpets long-lasting and resistant to crushing or matting in high-traffic areas.
- Softness & Comfort: Wool provides a soft, luxurious feel underfoot, contributing to comfort and warmth in living spaces.
- Insulation: Wool is an excellent natural insulator, helping to maintain indoor temperatures and reduce energy costs by retaining warmth in winter and coolness in summer.
- Sound Absorption: The dense fibre structure absorbs sound effectively, helping to reduce noise levels within a room.
- Stain Resistance: Wool contains natural oils that make it somewhat resistant to soiling and spills, though not as stain-resistant as treated synthetics. It requires prompt cleaning.
- Fire Resistance: Wool is naturally flame-retardant and self-extinguishing, making it a safer option in terms of fire safety.
- Moisture Regulation: Wool can absorb and release moisture without feeling damp, helping to regulate humidity and air quality indoors.
- Hypoallergenic Qualities: Wool resists dust mites and is less likely to trigger allergies when cleaned regularly, although people with wool sensitivity may still react.
- Aesthetic Versatility: Wool carpets come in a wide range of colours, patterns and textures, offering high-end aesthetics and design flexibility.
