Allergies are on the rise and exposure to synthetic materials are often considered to be the cause. Wool fibres are too long and too course to be inhaled and, being a natural fibre, won’t give off harmful emissions. Wool has a breathable fibre structure that does not promote the growth of bacteria or dust mites.
Wool is a naturally soil & stain resistant fibre. Wool fibres have developed these properties over centuries to keep sheep clean in their harsh rugged environments. On the floor, wool carpets repel stains and soiling, keeping them on top of the pile for ease of cleaning.
Wool is sustainable, biodegradable and a rapidly renewable resource that has the least environmental impact of all the carpet fibres. Wool is the only carpet fibre made without petroleum; a finite and non-biodegradable resource.
Nothing compares to the pleasure of soft wool carpet under your foot. Today’s focus on the home environment means your customers are spending more time relaxing and entertaining in their homes. The continuing move towards an informal lifestyle means that feet are often bare and carpeted floor is for sitting and lying on to watch the big screen TV or read the paper. Furthermore, the natural crimp of wool allows it to spring back quickly after compression and retain its original shape. The crucial performance characteristic ensures woolen carpets look good for longer, even in high traffic areas. Museums are filled with fine examples of wool rugs dating back to hundreds of years. The natural crimp of wool also creates millions of tiny pockets that trap air and act as the ideal insulator. The trapped air helps maintain a constant temperature in both hot and cold weather in a way that no synthetic fiber has ever done. This phenomenal trait allows sheep to live in environments ranging from freezing mountainous areas to arid desert plains. Those same millions of air pockets make wool a great insulator; look around next time your are in a concert hall and you will often see it used on floors, walls and seats to create the best acoustics. In the home, wool carpet minimizes sound transmissions between floors and rooms.
