Why Choose Wool for health and environment?
- Wool carpets and rugs are fire safe / flame-retardant, providing beautiful peace of mind.
- Wool is a biodegradable and a renewable resource produced using methods that are friendly to the environment.
- Wool absorbs contaminants in the air, improving the indoor air quality and helping you breath easier.
- Wool is a non-allergenic fiber which does not promote the growth of bacteria or dust mites, or give off harmful emissions.
- Wool assists in stabilizing the elative humidity by absorbing or releasing moisture during periods of high or low atmospheric humidity.
- Real wool will make your home more beautiful; and by its very nature, it can help save the earth.
Why Does Wool Perform So Well?
- Each wool fiber has a three-dimensional spiraling crimp that gives it natural elasticity.
- This elasticity means that a wool fiber can stretch up to 30% more than its original length and then bounce back -- like a miniature spring.
- Wool reacts the same way when it's compressed. That's because wool is "born" with resilience.
- This natural resilience enables wool carpet to withstand all the day-to-day traffic you can give it.
- Wool carpets recover easily from the unsightly crushing caused by furniture. The resiliency of each wool fiber contributes greatly to the superior appearance retention of wool carpet.
Why Is Wool Superior?
Those with a sense of style, a sense of value, and want to be eco friendly choose wool carpets and rugs. Why? Wool simply looks better longer.
Wool ages gracefully, continually renewing itself and developing a rich patina as years pass. Wool carpets and rugs remain vibrant to the eye and supple to the touch.
Your style demands high design and high performance; natural wool delivers, year after year after year.
