WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WOOL AND NYLON CARPETS?WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF WOOL CARPETS COMPARED TO SYNTHETIC FIBRES?

Wool fibres have a unique structure and properties that modern synthetic fibres can only try to replicate, but never replace.A wool carpet has a higher appearance retention than Nylon -  it looks better for longer. Because the proteins present in the wool fibres’ matrix are high in Sulphur, they attract water molecules under the right conditions. This is what allows the fibre to absorb and retain large amounts of dye - resulting in luscious colours.A wool carpet does not burn, also thanks to its Sulphur rich matrix. In fact, wool acts as a fire retardant - it slows down burning, unlike Nylon, which burns very fast and emits highly toxic fumes.A wool carpet breaths water/humidity up to 30% of its own weight.A wool carpet filters VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds).A wool carpet has a distinctive warm aesthetic compared to Nylon. Because it is a natural fibre, its plush look and feel will always be superior.
