Wool

HERE’S WHY WOOL CARPET IS A GREAT CHOICE THAT YOU’LL LOVE FOR YEARS TO COME

100% pure wool carpet is an outstanding floor covering when it comes to supreme softness and an exceptionally luxurious feel underfoot. It is deliciously warm in winter and highly resilient while being aesthetically pleasing.

Benefits of wool fibre carpet

Just as we choose a snuggly wool jumper to keep ourselves warm on a cold day, wool carpet is a fabulous insulator for your home, helping to keep those energy bills to a minimum. Here’s a list of the benefits of wool fibre carpet:

• Stain resistant - The natural waxy film on sheep’s wool makes it repel moisture, meaning that spills will remain on the surface for some time, rather than seeping down amongst the fibres. As this makes a wool carpet easy to clean, it is less likely to incur hard-to-shift stains which detract from the carpet’s appearance. This makes wool carpet ideal for family homes where spills and soiling are inevitable.
• Anti-microbial properties - Along with wool’s antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, the natural fatty acids found in wool inhibit static and the growth of mould and mildew.
• Flame retardant - As a renewable resource, wool carpet is environmentally friendly and is also a natural flame retardant.
• Durable - A well-constructed, top quality wool carpet relies not only on the natural strength of sheep’s wool for its hardwearing properties, but on carpet pile construction. This is particularly true of a loop pile construction. Wool carpets manufactured with a textured loop pile have good moisture repellent properties while also providing benefits in terms of crush resistance. Cut pile wool carpets can also be good in this regard, as these carpets do not easily retain footprints or indentations and look amazing for many years, even in high traffic areas.
• Soft - It’s luxuriously soft. During those early developmental years of your children’s lives, pure wool carpet is a safe, soft and comfortable floor for babies and children to commence crawling and walking on.

A combination of all the above factors make a pure wool carpet able to withstand the daily rigours of family life and continue to provide luxurious comfort and superior performance well into the future.

Wool carpets made from natural fibres

It is possible to find wool blend carpets which are made from a combination of wool and synthetic fibres, but carpets made from 100% pure wool fibres are wholly natural. These carpet fibres are made from 100% sheep’s wool, which has many beautiful properties including natural warmth, softness and crush resistance along with stain and moisture repelling abilities. Most of our pure wool carpets are made from genuine Australian or New Zealand wool.

Choose from the wide range of carpet colours and textures

Earthy, nature-inspired colours abound in this season’s range of wool carpets. From deep coal, to ocean blues, through to earthy greys, creams and soft pinks. There are so many rich, luxurious colours and textures. Pair your carpet with warm, deep hues in your interior design choices to add richness while maintaining calm spaces.

Wool carpets ideal for all climates

Pure wool is a highly effective insulator against cold temperatures, as well as being supremely soft and comfortable underfoot.

Natural antibacterial and antimicrobial properties along with fatty acids are found in sheep’s wool which inhibit the growth of mould and mildew. This means that wool carpet is not only an ideal floor covering for cold climates but a suitable product for use in humid or damp climates too. So, whether you’re in the sunny Queensland summer or a crisp Melbourne winter, your wool carpet is fit-for-purpose.

Wool is a natural flame retardant, so from a safety perspective, it is ideal in family homes in both extremely hot and cold climates.

Trending stylish carpet colours

In Australia, the carpet trends we’re seeing in 2022 are brights, bolds, intricate pattens and geometric shapes. In contrast, organic, earthy naturals also continue to be a staple, bringing a grounding, calm backdrop for interior spaces. One way to capture both trends is to create a bold statement in a foyer or reception area, and use earthy tones in rooms where you want to create calm - like a bedroom.

Add elegance and warmth with a wool carpet

Wool carpets look luxurious and, when properly cared for, retain their good looks for years and years. But the benefits don’t stop at beauty. Wool carpets are also great thermal insulators (especially when teamed with a good underlay), which means savings on heating and cooling costs. They regulate humidity by absorbing excess moisture in the air. When the air is dry, the fibres release the moisture of an interior without feeling damp or cold.

Caring for your wool carpet

Once your wool carpets have been installed, you should always follow the manufacturer’s care and maintenance guide to ensure the prolonged beauty of pure wool carpets.

We recommend regular vacuuming and spot cleaning for spills, along with professional cleaning once or twice a year. To treat carpet stains on wool carpet, consult our Care & Cleaning Guide for handy tips.
