An alluring carpet fibre to meet your needs.

The natural beauty of wool stems from the complexity of the fibre

itself, evolved to protect sheep, no matter what the conditions.

That’s why we wear wool, snuggle under woollen blankets,

insulate our homes with wool and enjoy living on wool carpet.

When it comes to carpet, wool has always set the highest

standard for insulating quality and natural beauty.

Wool carpet is ideal for allergy and asthma suffers as

it does not promote the growth of bacteria, mould and

mildew. This reduces the likelihood of spores, mycotoxins

and volati le organic compounds from developing in

the home, helping to prevent allergies and respiratory

problems. Wool fibre also deters the growth of dustmites

– the most common single cause of asthma.

Wool carpet is a very practical option to clean and

maintain, naturally resisting dirt and household stains.

Wool is a natural hygroscopic insulator. This means that

wool can naturally absorb up to 30% - 40% of its own

weight in moisture without becoming wet to touch,

thereby reducing the dampness in the air and making

your home a drier and healthier place to live. In cold,

damp conditions (high relative humidity) moisture is

absorbed by wool and heat is given off. In warm dry

conditions, moisture is released by wool, resulting in a

cooling effect. How well your carpet insulates largely

depends on how much air it can trap. Because of wool’s

natural inbuilt crimp, air is retained in mill ions of tiny

pockets which provide an insulation effect, thus creating

a comfortable environment for you and your family.

The impact and control of noise is becoming more

important as our lives get busier. Most of us want our

homes to be a quiet retreat away from the world that

exists outside. The mass wool fibres in any given area

of carpet have a range of lengths, diameters, crimp and

spirality. This gives wool carpets their ability to absorb

sounds over a wide range of frequencies.

100% wool carpet has natural protection from

the buildup of static electricity. Because of

wool’s unique moisture retention properties

it is less prone to building up static electrical

charge. This means a wool carpet does not

require a chemical treatment to suppress

static build up.

Indoor environment quality (IEQ) refers to the quality

of the air and environment inside buildings, based on

pollutant concentrations and conditions. Wool Research

Organisation of New Zealand (WRONZ) studies have

shown that wool carpet can remove Volati le Organic

Compounds (VOCs) from the air and may continue to

purify indoor air for up to 30 years.

Wool carpets have amongst the lowest propensity for

flame spread and produce much lower levels of smoke

when compared to synthetic carpet fibres. This is due to

the unique chemical structure of amino acids which make

wool naturally flame resistant.

In experiments conducted by the WRONZ, the surface

pile of the wool carpet formed a thick, foam like, charred

layer which effectively protected the lower pile, backing

and underlay from combustion.
