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.
Premium durability.
Woollen fibres are naturally extremely strong, making them highly resilient to crushing and flattening, and longer lasting than synthetic alternatives.
Luxurious comfort.
Wool’s opaque, non-shiny fibres are not only delightfully soft to the touch, but pleasingly easy on the eye, ensuring it adds a relaxing sense of warmth and luxury to any living space.
Naturally fire resistant.
Wool is the most fire resistant of all carpet fibres. It will not burn, melt or emit poisonous gases, making it an extremely safe option for multi-residential applications.
Excellent thermal qualities.
Wool has the welcome capacity to keep you naturally cooler in summer, and warmer in winter.
A designer’s delight.
Wool is the carpet designer’s—and very often the interior designer’s—fibre of choice, offering an almost limitless capacity to manipulate colour, tone, texture and feel. The most beautiful carpet designs are always in wool.
