When it comes to carpet, wool is the luxury fiber, the crème de la crème, the choice of the regal and refined homeowner. You might think wool carpet is out of your price range, but wait right there. Norman Carpet One wrangles with suppliers to get the lowest prices possible on wool, snagging our incredible inventory directly from wholesalers and manufacturers. That means what was once possible only for those with big funds is now possible for those of us on a budget. YOU can equip your home with well-made, luxurious wool carpet.
Maybe you’ve never heard about the multitude of benefits wool carpet brings to the table (or, in this case, the floor). Here are eight reasons wool carpet is simply superior to carpets made from other fibers.
- Wool carpet is plush. When you step on wool carpet, you know something is different. It’s incredibly soft, thick, and plush. Better yet, it stays that way. If cared for properly, ten-year-old wool carpet looks and feels as incredible as one-year-old wool carpet.
- Wool carpet doesn’t get crushed. Wool has a natural crimp that makes it very difficult to flatten. That means the appearance of footprints and furniture imprints is reduced.
- Wool carpet keeps the home quiet. The insulation properties of wool carpet are not to be overlooked. The same thick, plush feeling you’ll love underfoot will also lessen room-to-room noise transfer.
- Wool carpet is easily cared for. A natural fiber, wool has an in-built resistance to dirtying thanks to its natural oils and microscopic scales. Even so, wool carpet is easily cleaned with regular vacuuming.
- Wool carpet is hypoallergenic. Allergy suffers and those with asthma often seek out wool carpet, since it does not emit harmful gases and traps dust and allergens until they can be vacuumed.
- Wool carpet is environmentally friendly. Wool carpet is natural and sustainable. Grown on sheep, wool must be sheered as a necessary part of animal husbandry. When wool carpet wears out, it breaks down naturally for minimal environmental impact.
- Wool carpet is fire resistant. Wool is difficult to ignite because it has a high nitrogen content. Should it ignite, it has been known to self-extinguish.
- Wool carpet cushions falls. Especially if someone very young or old lives in the home, wool carpet’s softness can be helpful in preventing injury in case of falls.
All of the advantages of wool carpet are completely natural, and we get our supplies from companies who know how to craft their products to last. We’re confident that after you’ve installed wool carpet, you’ll find it’s a gift that keeps on giving, offering great warmth and comfort year after year.
