Pure wool carpets make a more sustainable choice

Many wool carpets are made using a blend of 80% wool and 20% nylon. When these carpets reach the end of their life, it is difficult to separate the nylon from the wool, making it challenging to recycle the yarn. Carpets made from 100% wool are more sustainable, as wool can easily be recycled.

Nylon is added to wool carpets to increase their durability. However, pure wool carpets made with long-fibre wool are hard wearing. Wool carpets are available undyed or pre-dyed, either in plain colours or patterned. They are suitable for both traditional style and contemporary decor rooms.

Domestic or business buyers in North Wales who prioritize sustainability choose pure wool carpets made from environmentally friendly natural fibres. Wool's insulating properties help keep rooms warm and cosy and add a luxurious feel. Wool carpets are available in a range of shades and patterns. With proper care, including regular cleaning and wiping up spills promptly, wool carpets can last a long time. It is recommended that wool carpets are cleaned professionally at least once a year, or more frequently in areas of high foot traffic.

Most rooms, stair runners and hallways are suitable for wool carpets. However, they are not recommended for high-moisture areas such as bathrooms or utility rooms. Professional carpet installers can quickly fit these carpets with minimum disruption. Wool is a naturally flame-retardant fibre and hygienic.

Local carpet retailers have wool carpet samples available to borrow, allowing customers to see how they look and feel in a room.
