pinzon-hand-tufted-kimono-wool-rugWhen you’re choosing a new rug there are all sorts of things to consider. Price, quality, and style are of course the biggest concerns.

But what if you could get all three and also be a bit more environmentally friendly.

Have you considered wool?

Read on for the benefits of wool rugs.

  • Price: Wool rugs are more expensive than conventional ones. But that price is offset by their durability. Wool wears better and lasts much longer than synthetic fabrics.  It will stand up to heavy floor traffic almost on a level with commercial hotel grade carpets but without that industrial look.
  • Quality: Wool is a much better choice than synthetic. By the fabric’s very nature it feels better than any synthetic could.  You pay a bit more but get tons more from it.
  • Style: Wool patterns can be found in any print or color just like a normal commercial carpet. Choosing wool doesn’t pigeonhole you.

So wool and regular carpet look like they’re about the same choice based on the normal consumer concerns. Wool excels since it’s more eco-friendly than commercial grade carpet.

Wool is a natural sustainable resource. It won’t need all the energy to process like a commercial regular carpet would.

Also, wool is a natural fire retardant. So, you don’t have a bunch of nasty chemicals added to it to keep it from going up in flames. Once again less chemical processing is better for the environment not to mention your health.

The benefits of wool rugs far outweigh their synthetic counterparts.  The price is comparable when you figure in how durable wool is. The quality of wool is top notch.  When you consider how much better wool is for the environment than commercial grade carpet then there really is no reason not to choose wool the next time you’re looking to change the look of a room.
