The Benefits of Wool Carpet
Wool carpet is one of life’s true luxuries. Slipping out of bed and allowing your feet to fall onto this deliciously soft natural texture first thing in the morning is a tonic for the day ahead. This beautiful flooring imparts warmth and comfort, transforming any space into a room of absolute retreat and rejuvenation. And with some of our carpets in this style boasting a 7-star rating, there’s so much to love about the luxe feel and classic look of wool.
Natural
Wool is 100% natural and renewable. The fibre is biodegradable, sustainable and environmentally friendly. When properly maintained under the correct conditions, wool carpets can last for decades, making it good for our planet, your soul and bank balance.
Beautiful
Rather than the sterile, lineal look of some carpets, a favourite amongst the Coverings Sunshine Coast team is the 7 star rated Prestige Wool Range with its more natural weave. Available in a variety of colours, innate shading in the wool itself lends a beautiful, organic look. With design trends leading toward clean surfaces and defined lines, the soft natural texture of wool helps to soften these. It also blends beautifully with the chic coastal style suited so well to our lifestyle here on the Sunshine Coast.
Durable
As far as natural flooring goes, wool punches above its weight when it comes to being tough against traffic, wear and dirt. The fibres contained within wool are naturally curly, causing them to bounce back into shape when crushed underfoot. This means that luxuriously soft underfoot feel will remain for years, regardless of the traffic through your home. The Coverings team can also highly recommend the Signature Wool Range for that gorgeous underfoot feel for years to come.
Soil Resistant
Wool really is a wonder fibre! It has ‘scales’ on the outside of fibres which cause liquids to bead on top rather than absorbed, which helps keep the wool stain free. This scaled structure also prevents dust and dirt from becoming embedded in the carpet. Follow the recommendations on cleaning your wool carpet, and you will enjoy this stunning flooring for years to come.
Hypoallergenic and Insect Resistant
Perfect for asthma and allergy sufferers, wool deters dust mite and bacteria growth. It also acts as an air purifier, trapping allergens and redistributing moisture from the air. Because of its completely natural origins, wool is also devoid of harmful toxins and allergens.
Peaceful
As a noise absorber, the dense fibres of wool transform any area into a quiet and serene space. With polished concrete, tile and wood flooring popular in current trends, use the natural ability of wool in your bedrooms to create a peaceful oasis from the clamour and clatter of households going about their daily routines.
Flame Resistant
Perhaps the safest of all floorings, wool is incredibly flame resistant and able to withstand temperatures of 570 degrees Celsius before igniting.
Energy Saving
On the Sunshine Coast, there is a tendency for our spaces to be built for the summer months: everything is designed around cooling the room. Wool is one of the great insulators, keeping the warm in during the winter months, and the heat out in summer. With our toes facing the brunt of the cool winter weather, having the soft and warmth of wool underfoot not only feels luxurious, but saves on energy consumption too.
