Why Wool
The variety of flooring available to consumers is vast. There is a wide choice of carpets, laminate floors and hardwood flooring to name a few. However with the introduction of the latter two options, the humble carpet is often overlooked as an option, especially with the younger market.
The benefits of laminate and hardwood floors are well documented, but what about carpets. There are many different types of carpets available, however none quite as versatile and forgiving as wool carpets. It may not even occur to you to take into consideration, the material your carpet is made of. However it is the material which will determine the look and life expectancy of your carpet. Most people consider buying a carpet as a long time investment and so it therefore needs much consideration.
Wools natural properties and durable qualities have protected man for over 25,000 years, and it’s of no consequence it was popular for so long. Wool has got some outstanding properties, which aren’t found in any other natural fibre. Today wool is considered to be a luxury fibre, however just because it offers luxurious features, does not mean that it’s an impractical choice for your home. There are also many carpet retailers such as ukcarpetsdirect.com who offer 100% wool carpets at very competitive prices. There really will be styles to suit everybody’s budget.
Wool is a naturally resilient fibre, it can be bent up to 20,000 times before it will break. So it is a perfect contender for households with children and heavy traffic. The surface of a wool fibre is made up of overlapping scales, therefore catching all the soil and dirt at the top, ready for easy removal. Also, due to the unique structure of wool, your carpet will bounce back and keep its original appearance for a long time.
It is also a surprising fact that wool carpet is naturally stain and water resistant. Each fibre is covered with a membrane which is practically impossible for liquids to penetrate, therefore will not absorb spills like other carpets. Although paradoxically wool can also absorb up to 30% of it weight in water without feeling wet. This can help with humidity problems in a room. Because wool has this ability known as hydroscopic, it has the unique ability to keep a room warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
Unbelievably wool carpets are also flame resistant due to its high moisture and protein content. Although it does not support combustion it does burn, however it will usually extinguish itself once the cause of fire has been removed.
Unlike other carpets, wool variations can also have some positive health benefits. Wool carpets are non-toxic, non-allergenic and will not support bacterial growth. Meaning it’s just as affective as laminate and hardwood flooring for helping with allergies. Wool carpets even have the ability to purify indoor air. The wool traps in common contaminates in the core of their fibre, which keeps us from inhaling them. Wool can continue to do this for up to 30 years. Making wool carpets an asset to a healthy and hygienic living area.
Taking all facts into consideration, it’s clear that wool carpets have a lot to offer your home other than the obvious luxury and comfort of a natural fibre floor covering. It can keep your home safe and hygienic. There are many retailers who sell wool carpet at extremely reasonable price, so get looking for your perfect carpet today.
