Why Wool Carpets

There is something about the feel of a wool carpet. Take your shoes off and you'll instantly feel how incredibly soft and luxurious the natural wool fibres are. A comfortable environment to live on all year round. Its natural thermal insulation will keep your family warm in winter and cool in summer and its natural stain resistance make it easy to care for.

Facts:
 
Wool is.............a natural product. Its fibre has natural crimp and elasticity that is permanent. This provides it with great flexibility and adaptability, especially under furniture and in living areas. Did you know a wool fibre can be bent 30,000 times without breaking and it can be stretched by as much as a third and it will spring back into place.
 
Wool is.............environmentally friendly because it is a naturally sustainable renewable resource and is biodegradable. The NZ Wool suppliers and manufacturers operate some of the most environment friendly industries in the world. From scouring to dying to manufacture, their power usage is carbon neutral. Think Environment - Think Wool.    
 
Wool is.............resistant to most household stains. Wool has a waxy outer coating of tiny scales so it repels liquids and particles of dirt and dust. Because wool has a scaly outer surface the dirt is trapped high in the pile of the carpet making vacuuming and cleaning so much easier.
 
Wool is ............resistant to flame due to its unique structure, high moisture and its protein components. Wool is difficult to ignite and if it does catch fire, it has a relatively low heat of burning and flame temperature.
 
Wool is............a natural thermal and sound insulator. With its natural pile thickness and resilient crimp, wool carpet contains millions of tiny pockets of air and these act as a natural thermal insulator as well as absorbing and reducing surface and airborne sound. Wool doesn't suffer from static electricity build up and naturally absorbs moisture in humid conditions.
