The natural beauty of wool comes from the fibre's inherent complexity, which has evolved to protect sheep in various conditions. This remarkable quality is why wool remains a preferred choice for clothing, bedding, insulation, and, of course, carpets.
Natural Insulation and Humidity Control
Wool carpet serves as a natural insulator, maintaining warmth in winter and coolness in summer. Its natural crimp retains air in millions of tiny pockets, providing an insulating effect that ensures a comfortable indoor environment year-round.
Hypoallergenic Benefits
Wool carpet is ideal for allergy and asthma sufferers, as it does not support the growth of bacteria, mould, and mildew. This reduces the likelihood of spores, mycotoxins, and volatile organic compounds, helping to prevent allergies and respiratory issues. Additionally, wool fibers deter dust mites, a common cause of asthma, promoting a healthier living space.
Eco-Friendly and Biodegradable
Wool is a sustainable and biodegradable fibre. When disposed of, wool naturally decomposes in soil within months or years, releasing valuable nutrients back into the earth. Choosing wool carpets supports environmental responsibility by utilising a renewable resource.
Additional Benefits
Quieter: Wool absorbs sound, reducing noise by up to 55%, fostering a more tranquil atmosphere.
Fire Safe: Wool has inherent fire-resistant properties, minimising the risk of ignition and spread.
Warmer: As a natural insulator, wool keeps spaces cozy and comfortable year-round
Superior Appearance Retention: With inbuilt stain protection and resilient crimp, our NZ wool carpets maintain their beauty and shape for longer periods.
When selecting your wool carpet, it's important to consider more than just colour and feel. Ensure your choice encompasses warranty, sustainable responsibility, and quality, guaranteeing a long-lasting investment that benefits both your home and the environment.
