Traditional Wool Carpet

 

Wool carpet is a flooring favorite because it has the ability to resist wear and tear and maintain its luxurious flooring quality. Some benefits of wool carpet are that it is soft, comfortable, biodegradable, a rapidly renewable resource, filters allergens and dust, is durable and long-lasting, and an excellent sound absorber and insulator.

British Wool Carpet

 

Thanks to it’s unique environment, Britain produces some of the best wool carpet in the world. The harsh conditions survived by Britain’s sheep make it an ideal wool carpet to withstand the rigors of day to day living. It has more resilience than other wool carpet because of the high degree of ‘natural crimp’ in the carpet fiber. British wool is a truly ‘Green’ flooring option – it’s an annually renewable natural resource.

New Zealand Wool Carpet

 

New Zealand’s distinctive environment and farming practices have enabled wool growers to develop a range of unique systems that meet a wide variety of end-user flooring demands. Used for premium carpet and rugs, New Zealand wool is highly valued for its whiteness – contributing to rich and vibrant carpet colors. These qualities translate into wool carpet with stunning aesthetic and performance characteristics.

Australian Wool Carpet

 

Australia accounts for 28-30 percent of the world’s wool carpet production. Australia’s number one wool carpet customer is China. They create carpet that is treated for protection against bacteria, mold, odors, mildew and dust mites. It is a natural flooring product that is completely biodegradable and recyclable.

Indian Wool Carpet

 

Wool carpet from India offers consumers all the benefits of wool carpet, but at a reasonably lower cost. Wool carpet from India may be a little coarser and drier than other wool carpet, but this adds to the durability of the wool carpet. It is a great wool carpet choice for those who need the health benefits of wool in a more durable format. Wools from India are also preferred because of their greater ability to withstand dirt and debris.

 

Most people might not link silk to carpet because of its fragile properties. In fact, silk is not often used in carpet but it is a popular component for hand-made rugs which are made in the Middle East and India. Also, mixing wool and silk to make shimmery carpet has become increasingly popular and creates a very elegant look.

Jute Carpet

 

Initially, Jute was primarily used as a backing material for carpet flooring, but now it is slowly gaining a following as a carpet flooring material and for rugs. The primary characteristic of jute carpet is its texture depth.

Coir Carpet

 

Coir carpet is developed by using coconut husk fiber which is very strong and durable. Coconut husks are harvested and left soaking in water for months. After this process, the husks are pounded, washed and dried. This process produces light yellow fibers which are spun into yarn and then woven into carpet flooring. This material is generally the best one to use if you want to remove moisture and dirt from soles.

Flax Carpet

 

This material is only used sparingly as carpet. Usually it is used to manufacture flat rugs and carpet.

Sisal Carpet

 

Sisal carpet is believed to be one of the toughest flooring fibers used to make carpet. Unlike ordinary carpet fibers, sisal flooring can be dyed. If you combine sisal carpet with wool carpet, it will produce a softer carpet which is a favorite among flooring manufacturers for its great color and natural beauty.

Seagrass Carpet

 

Primarily from China, seagrass carpet is a renewable source. When fields have been flooded with seawater, seagrass is harvested then spun into a carpet which is very durable but not easy to permeate. Although this makes seagrass a bad candidate for dying, seagrass carpet will not absorb when liquids are spilled on it. This makes seagrass carpet a very durable flooring product, easy to maintain, and beautiful to look at.

Nylon Carpet

 

Nylon carpet is the next best thing to wool carpet. It has unique properties which may make it better than wool carpet in certain environments. The main benefits of nylon carpet are good stain resistance, easy to clean and comes in many wonderful vibrant colors. Nylon carpet is a very strong flooring fiber which makes it ideal for heavy traffic areas.

Polyester Carpet

 

Polyester carpet fiber has the ability to provide a more luxurious feel. Depth in color can also be achieved with polyester carpet. If you want to color customize your carpet, this is your best bet. One main issue with this polyester carpet is that it doesn’t lay as flat as other carpet. It creates a shiny, pleasant and very fun look.

Polypropylene Carpet

 

Polypropylene carpet is used in two ways; mixing it with another material or by itself. It has good strength but other carpet materials are more resilient than polypropylene. It is a common option for people who are on a budget and it is very easy to clean too. It has the ability to withstand staining except for oil-based spills.
