Wool carpets are known for offering quality and durability. They are synonymous with luxury and are incredibly popular for individuals choosing a new carpet. Wool as a fibre can withstand pressure, looks great and can be incredibly long-lasting when correctly cared for. Ask anyone and they will likely tell you that wool carpets are a great investment for your home.
Generally, wool carpets are available in two different alternatives. These include 100% wool or 80/20 wool mix carpet. To fully appreciate this type of carpet we thought we would highlight some of the advantages of a wool carpet.
Advantages of Wool Carpets
Durability
As a natural material, wool provides long-lasting durability and strength. It is a robust material that has good elasticity. This means that issues such as pile compression and tracking marks are significantly minimised. This also helps to make a wool look great over time.
Comfort
Wool as a material offers great luxury, comfort and warmth. It acts as an insulator which helps to retain heat and keep your floors warmer than other materials. Furthermore, wool will work to act as a sound absorber which is great for busy homes and large spaces.
Stain and Fire Resistance
As a natural fibre, it contains oils that are resistant to dirt. It will also work to repel other oil-based dirt which helps reduce staining and soiling. Wool is naturally fire resistant and has a slow ignition rate. Therefore, this offers great peace of mind for people looking to fit wool carpets in their homes.
A Natural and Sustainable Product
Shearing sheep of their wool is a crucial part of their care. This is a needed process that is then regrown the following year. As such, it is a completely sustainable product. Furthermore, as a natural material it is biodegradable in soil. This process itself produces plant nutrients and makes 100% wool carpets a brilliant choice for those with a focus on preservation.
Most importantly, wool carpets can be deep cleaned by professionals, leaving them hygienically clean. The steam cleaning process attacks any ingrained dirt and grime and removes it to leave beautifully cleaned and perfectly cared for wool carpets.
