Wool wins hands down when it comes to looking natural – just as nature intended. Trying to imitate the naturalness of wool is very flattering, but nothing looks and feels like wool better than wool itself – it’s a hard act to follow.
Here are some facts that make choosing wool carpet an easy decision:
Hard wearing and durable
We have access to the best wool in the world – New Zealand wool! Wool has a natural bounciness and keeps its good looks for longer.
Easy to clean
Wool is naturally resistant to spills and soiling. The outer fibre doesn’t soak up spills straight away – allowing time to scoop up, or soak up accidents.
Anti-
Wool does not promote the growth of dust mites or bacteria and is naturally anti-
Affordable
Wool carpet is one of the most affordable flooring choices there is. Just make sure you compare pricing on a like for like basis – a lineal carpet metre which is 3.6m wide (the width of a roll) as opposed to a square metre which is just 1m. Divide a carpet metre price by 3.6 to get the square metre price.
A natural insulator
Wool keeps you warmer in winter and cooler in summer. It has a unique ability to absorb moisture from the air when it’s damp and release it when it’s dry. It can save you up to 12% on your energy bills. Wall to wall carpet is also a fantastic sound insulator.
Sustainable and environmentally friendly
Wool carpets are made from a 100% sustainable and renewable resource. Australian wool carpet manufacturers must meet strict guidelines to produce them in an environmentally safe way.
Fire resistant
Wool is very difficult to ignite, burns slowly and is easy to extinguish. As a natural fibre, it gives off much less smoke and toxic gas in the event of a major fire than its synthetic fibres.
