Wool carpets have had a reputation for quality and durability for hundreds of years, and its no surprise that wool is still a popular choice when it comes to manufacturing and choosing a quality carpet. 

So why are wool carpets so great? Read on to find out why...

Strength and resilience

Choosing to use wool in your home will not be a decision you regret; wool provides incredible performance with its long-lasting durability, meaning you’ll have many years of carpet happiness.

Easy to care for

The good news is wool fibres make it harder for dirt particles to stick, so they’re easier to clean and keep their colour for longer. Because wool is a completely natural material, it contains natural oils. These oils are resistant to dirt and moisture, meaning the only regular care you need to do for your carpet is vacuuming.

The ultimate cosiness

When we think about sheep’s wool, one thing comes to mind: cosiness. A wool carpet is remarkably soft and warm; it is designed to keep sheep happy in the cold, windy countryside! If it keeps them content in the fields, then it will keep your feet and home delighted too.

Fire resistant

One of the most amazing things about wool is that is cannot burn. Wool is a self-extinguishing material and does not melt like synthetic fibres, meaning it also doesn’t emit toxic fumes. With that in mind, this natural product is therefore one of the safest carpet choices to have in your home!

Natural benefits

Wool is a natural insulator - it absorbs both sound and heat and releases any absorbed heat slowly. Not only does this keep your home nice and warm in the winter months, but it also helps to regulate the temperature during the summer. It can also absorb about 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling damp, making it a good natural dehumidifier, and therefore ideal for properties prone to damp or mould.

Natural and sustainable

As we’ve mentioned before, wool is a natural material that doesn’t require any chemicals in its making. It is one of the eco-friendliest fibres in the world, being 100% renewable and causing very little environmental impact through its production process.
