THE BENEFITS OF
Wool Carpets
Strong and resilient
Wool carpet will provide superior performance over many years as it can offer unique resilience and long lasting durability. The natural crimp of wool offers valuable ‘bounce-back’ qualities which reduce tracking and shading and your carpet will maintain a good appearance over many years.
Easy care
Wool is a natural fibre that has an inbuilt resistance to soiling due to its natural oils and its outer surface of microscopic scales and as a result additional anti-soil treatments are not necessary. Simply vacuuming the carpet will keep it looking good. But spills need prompt blotting with white paper towels or an absorbent cloth.
Anti-allergy
The minute scales on the fibre’s surface will hold fine dust until vacuumed which helps to reduce floating particulates in the atmosphere. Wool does not give off harmful emissions or promote the growth of bacteria and wool is not a food source for dust mites.
Soft and warm
Wool carpets look luxurious and feel amazingly comfortable underfoot; wool carpets also bring warmth to your home and acts as an insulator. A wool carpet will improve heat retention and energy efficiency.
Peace and quiet
Wool absorbs sounds and cushions noise transfers.
