Why wool carpets are a timeless investment

Just as we opt for a snuggly wool jumper to keep ourselves warm on a cold day, wool carpet is a fabulous insulator for your home, helping to keep those energy bills to a minimum. Here’s a list of the benefits of wool fibre carpet:

• Stain resistant - The natural waxy film on sheep’s wool makes it repel moisture, meaning that spills will remain on the surface for some time, rather than seeping down amongst the fibres. As this makes a wool carpet easy to clean, it is less likely to incur hard-to-shift stains, which detract from the carpet’s appearance. This makes wool carpet ideal for family homes where spills and soiling are inevitable.
• Anti-microbial properties - Along with wool’s antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, the natural fatty acids found in wool inhibit static and the growth of mould and mildew.
• Flame retardant - Wool contains a high percentage of nitrogen, which makes it more resistant to combustion. If exposed to flames, wool also tends to char and self-extinguish rather than continue to burn, which helps limit fire spread.
• Durable - A well-constructed, top-quality wool carpet relies not only on the natural strength of sheep’s wool for its hardwearing properties but also on carpet pile construction. This is particularly true of a loop pile construction. Wool carpets manufactured with a textured loop pile have good moisture-repellent properties while also providing benefits in terms of crush resistance. Cut pile wool carpets can also be good in this regard, as these carpets do not easily retain footprints or indentations and look amazing for many years, even in high-traffic areas.
• Soft - It makes hard flooring luxuriously soft. During those early developmental years of your children’s lives, pure wool carpet is a safe, soft and comfortable floor for babies and children to commence crawling and walking on.
• Natural Insulation - Wool carpets are also great thermal insulators (especially when teamed with a good underlay), which means savings on heating and cooling costs. They regulate humidity by absorbing excess moisture in the air. When the air is dry, the fibres release the moisture of an interior without feeling damp or cold.
• Sustainability - Wool is a natural fibre that is biodegradable and renewable. Its production process is also eco-friendly, as sheep graze on grass and contribute to land management.

A combination of all the above factors makes wool carpets able to withstand the daily rigours of family life and continue to provide luxurious comfort and superior performance well into the future.

Types of wool carpets

At Carpet Court, we understand that different spaces require different floor coverings. That’s why we offer a wide range of wool carpet styles and types to suit different tastes and needs. Our range includes:

• Plain - Simple and versatile, these carpets offer a clean, smooth finish that complements any decor.
• Textured - Add depth and character to your space with subtle patterns and textures that create visual interest.
• Twist Pile - Known for their durability, these carpets have tightly twisted fibres that resist wear, making them ideal for living rooms and other high-traffic areas.
• Loop Pile - Offering a practical and stylish option, this type of tufted carpet is hard-wearing and perfect for creating a modern, minimalist look.
• Plush - With a luxurious feel, plush carpets have a soft, velvety surface, adding elegance and comfort to your home.

Most of our wool carpets are made from 100% pure Australian and New Zealand wool. We also have wool blend options that combine the luxury of natural wool with the durability of synthetic carpet fibres like polypropylene and solution-dyed nylon.

Picking the right wool carpet for your space

Now that you know the benefits and types of wool carpets, you probably can’t wait to pick one for your home. To make sure you’re picking the best one for your needs, consider these factors:

• Lifestyle - Think about how you will use the carpet. For high-traffic areas, opt for a durable twist or loop style. For a more relaxed setting, a plush or textured carpet may be suitable.
• Aesthetics - Consider your interior design and pick a carpet that complements your décor.
• Colour - Carpet colours can make a big impact on your space. Light carpet colours can make a space feel bigger and brighter, while dark carpet colours add warmth and cosiness. Neutral colours offer flexibility, while bold hues make a statement. Lucky for you, our wool carpets come in a wide range of colours. So you’ll never have a hard time finding the perfect shade.
• Texture - The texture of the carpet can significantly impact its appearance and feel. Consider whether you prefer a soft, plush texture or a more durable, looped style.
• Pile height - The pile height determines the carpet's thickness and density. A higher pile provides more insulation and comfort, but it may be more difficult to clean.
• Type of Flooring - If you have hardwood or timber flooring in parts of your home, select a wool carpet that complements the tones and finishes. This will create a cohesive look across different areas.

Wool carpet trends and ideas

Aside from the factors mentioned above, picking a wool carpet is also about knowing the latest trends. Currently, the trend is leaning towards textures and natural tones that bring warmth and a modern touch to interiors.

People are loving plush and loop pile carpets for their soft, cosy feel, perfect for creating a welcoming space. Neutral shades like grey and beige are still popular, but there’s a growing interest in earthy tones to add warmth.
