Wool: The natural choice for style and sustainability.
For centuries it’s been said that, when it comes to floor coverings, there is simply no substitute for wool; and that sentiment remains true today.
Wool’s inherent characteristics lend it a raft of practical benefits ideally suited to multi-residential living, including outstanding insulative qualities, remarkable softness, safety and longevity. Being a natural fibre, it’s also 100% sustainable and is produced with a fraction of the energy required for synthetics.
Yet these impressive facts tell only part of the story, for it’s how wool makes us feel that most clearly sets it apart. There is truly nothing like the effortless style and elegance of a living space defined by wool.

What is the Australian Carpet Beetle?
The Australian carpet beetle is a native beetle that feeds on pollens, and is found throughout Australia in woodlands, forests, gardens and urban areas. Similar species of moth and beetle are found worldwide.
The larvae of the beetle are small, fluffy grubs, 4mm-5mm long, brown, with banded stripes. The grubs live for 9 months. They feed on animal proteins found in hair, feathers, animal skins and other dried animal products. This includes wool found in carpet.
They are particularly fond of bird nests as a place to live in their natural environment, and wool carpet in urban environments.
