Why Choose Wool Carpet?
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. We want to reassure anyone who uses our wool that they’re choosing an ethically grown and sustainable product.
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.
Due to the millions of wool fibres in textiles such as carpets, curtains and cushions, wool is one of the most effective materials for controlling noise indoors.
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.
