Why Choose Wool Carpet?

Wools of New Zealand

100% NZ Wool - Natural Home Grown Fibre

Wools of New Zealand fibre is grown in perfect conditions with care taken to preserve our natural environment. We have implemented integrity programmes and partnered with industry specialists to ensure we are accountable, traceable and sustainable at all times.

Superior Appearance Retention - Made to Last

New Zealand wool keeps textiles looking better for longer due to its built-in stain protection and naturally resilient crimp, allowing it to bounce back to its original shape.

Wool Carpet Keeps You Warm

Wool not only helps us keep warm and comfortable in winter, it contributes to energy savings as less heating or cooling in summer is required to maintain a comfortable indoor environment all year round.

Wool Just Feels Awesome

Wool carpets are squishy and soft. The natural coil built into wool acts like a spring, absorbing impacts and making your feet feel wonderful.

Beautifully Quiet Underfoot

Wool is an excellent sound absorber and can reduce noise by up to 55%, creating a more relaxing environment.

Breathe Easy

Wool carpets filter the air in your home and trap particles from the breathing zone. Wool helps to regulate humidity by naturally absorbing and releasing moisture. Wool carpets are asthma and allergy friendly.

Easy Clean Wool Carpet

Wool is naturally soil resistant which means it releases soil up to 25% more readily than synthetic fibres. The finely waxed surface also helps keep dirt in the upper layer of the pile, where it is easily removed by vacuuming.

Fire Safe

With wool there is less chance of ignition, less likelihood of flames spreading and less smoke, which makes wool one of the safest materials for any living environment.

Truly Sustainable

Wool is a natural and rapidly renewable material. Our sheep grow a new fleece every year, creating wool from nothing but grass.
