At One Source Flooring, we proudly stock a wide range of high-quality wool carpets from Australia and New Zealand.
The Gold Coast is known for its beautiful weather, so you might not initially consider wool carpet, believing that it is only a solution for cooler climates. However, this is simply not true and there are plenty of reasons why you should consider installing wool carpet in your new home or renovation (outside of it being extremely cosy).
Why Should You Choose Wool Carpet?
- Wool Carpet is Resilient & Family-Friendly
Some carpets wear down over time, making them age quickly and look as though they’re in need of being replaced. Wool Carpet is fantastic at keeping its shape – reducing both maintenance and replacement costs.
Wool carpet is also naturally stain-resistant, making it easier to clean than other carpet fibres.
- Wool Carpet is Hypoallergenic
Wool carpet is typically not linked to allergies and can be a great fit for families. It absorbs common airborne contaminants which improve overall air quality.
- Wool Carpet is Considered to be Energy Efficient
Wool carpet is also a natural insulator – improving the temperature of your room by preventing heat loss through your floor. It is known to be cool in Summer, warm in Winter.
- Wool Carpet is Sustainable
Wool carpet is produced from natural resources and requires less energy to produce than synthetic fibres. Wool carpet is naturally sustainable, as sheep grow new coats each year and are actually ‘fueled’ by natural resources. Some wool carpet manufacturers also use the oil that is removed during the construction process or other products.
- Wool Carpet is Fire Safe
Wool Carpet is naturally fire-resistant due to its natural chemical structure. As such, wool offers a much greater level of fire safety than other fibres (such as synthetic carpet).
