With the growing awareness of our environmental impact, it is not surprising that more and more homeowners are looking for environmentally-friendly solutions for their homes. One such solution is implementing eco-friendly flooring—Insta Carpet recommends wool carpet.
In fact, wool carpets have numerous benefits that make them an appealing choice, not only for their eco-friendliness, but also for their comfort and warmth.
Join us as we explore the advantages of wool carpet below!
Sustainable
Wool carpets are an eco-friendly option, thanks to their sustainability and renewability. Wool is a renewable resource that is also biodegradable and recyclable, meaning that you don’t have to worry about wool carpets ending up at landfills. As sheep require regular shearing, natural wool can be sourced frequently without an impact on the environment.
Breathable
Wool carpets are regarded as a breathable carpet material, capable of absorbing humidity and releasing it when the atmosphere is dry. They can also absorb airborne toxins and hold fine dust particles (which can be vacuumed later on), reducing the amount of dust in the air. As a result, wool carpets contribute to improving air quality inside the home or building.
Comfort
Perhaps what wool is most known for is its comfort and warmth—wool carpets are considered luxurious, offering a high-quality feel and texture that provides comfy cushioning and warmth when stepped on. Their cushioning capabilities minimise noise pollution, effectively absorbing sounds. As a natural insulator, wool carpets can keep your home warm, comfortable, and cosy during the winter. Plus, this means that you can potentially save money on your heating bills!
Safety
Wool is naturally soft, which is perfect for households with young children and the elderly as wool carpets can easily cushion falls, protecting individuals against injury. In terms of fire safety, wool carpet is flame retardant with a higher ignition point compared to synthetic carpet options, and can even self-extinguish some fires.
