Wool Benefits

Bellbridge Wool Carpet Benefits

Wool naturally sets the standard for fine carpets from design superiority to performance standards. Wool accepts dye stuffs to its core producing colors of depth and long-lasting beauty. Wool fiber protects sheep from dust, humidity, and heat regardless of climate. Wool’s unique three-dimensional structure has yet to be reproduced synthetically. This structure creates millions of air pockets that provide permanent resilience and recovery from crushing and superior soil and stain resistance.

Value For The Money

Although initially wool carpet may cost a bit more than synthetic carpets, wool carpets offer long-term investment returns via enhanced durability and ease of maintenance.

Performance

Wool is naturally resistant to abrasion and holds its original appearance (color, texture) longer than carpets made from other fibers.

Cleaning

Wool resists soiling and cleans readily. Thorough vacuuming removes surface and lightly ground-in dirt. Wool carpets require less frequent and less rigorous wet cleaning than synthetics with responsive spot cleaning and routine vacuuming.

Thermal Insulation

Wool carpets helps stabilize heat and humidity in buildings by absorbing and releasing moisture responding to the environmental conditions of the space. Wool naturally helps keep interior environments warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Wool carpets save energy by reducing heat loss through floors.

Fire Safety

Wool carpets are naturally flame resistant due to their unique chemical structure and natural moisture content. Wool carpets emit less toxic smoke and are one reason why New York City has legislated wool carpet for public areas.

Electrostatic Reduction

Electrostatic charges can build up in an office environment placing computer equipment at risk. Wool carpets resist static build-up in atmospheric humidity conditions above 40%. In conditions below 40% wool carpets can be manufactured or treated to meet low-level Kv ratings.

Noise Reduction

A noisy office is often unproductive because of interruptions and distractions. Wool carpet absorbs sounds over a wide range of frequencies assisting to quiet the nosiest of environments.

Insurance Reduction

Today one of the big issues in workplace design is the prevention of accidents and the claims that follow. The texture of wool carpeting helps prevent falls, and reduces injuries if a fall occurs.

Prestige

Wool carpeting in the office environment provides an indication of the corporation’s pride in its surroundings. Likewise, in historic locations wool carpeting can be an important element in retaining the building’s authenticity.
