<h3>Wonders in Wool</h3>
<p>The natural beauty of wool stems from the inherent complexity of the fibre itself, evolved to protect sheep, no matter the conditions! That’s why we still wear wool, sleep with wool, insulate with wool and enjoy walking on wool.</p>

<h3>Effortless Elegance for Every Season</h3>
<p>As the days grow warmer, transform your home into a sanctuary of refined, effortless cool with Feltex designer wool carpets. While often associated with winter warmth, wool’s remarkable versatility makes it the ultimate choice for all seasons. In spring and summer, wool’s natural temperature-regulating properties work to maintain an ideal indoor climate, keeping your space refreshingly cool even on the hottest days. Its breathable fibres promote air circulation, minimising trapped heat and moisture.</p>
<p>Beyond its climate control benefits, wool absorbs humidity to create a fresh, crisp atmosphere, while its hypoallergenic qualities ensure a healthier, purer air quality.  Luxuriously soft yet incredibly durable, wool is a timeless option that harmonises with the ebb and flow of the seasons.</p>
<p>With Feltex wool carpets, you’re not just choosing flooring—you’re investing in year-round elegance, comfort, and an 
 environment that feels as good as it looks.  Experience the luxury of nature’s finest with the perfect balance of style and function. </p>

<h3>Finest Quality Natural Fibre</h3> 
<p>Feltex wool carpets are made from the finest natural wool fibres which are renewable and biodegradable.</p>
<p>A renewable material, wool is shorn from sheep every 9-12 months and produced by sheep consuming a totally renewable resource - grass.<p>
<p>As a natural resource, wool fibre is biodegradable. When wool fibre is disposed of, it will naturally decompose in soil in a matter of months or years, slowly releasing valuable nutrients back into the earth.<p>

<h3>Natural Insulation and Humidity Control</h3>
<p>Wool carpet is naturally insulative with humidity control for a comfortable indoor environment, making it cooler in summer and warmer in winter.</p>
<p>Wool is a natural hygroscopic insulator. This means your wool carpet can absorb up to 30% - 40% of its weight in moisture without becoming wet to touch. This reduces the dampness in the air, making your home a drier and healthier place to live.</p>
<p>In cold, damp conditions (high relative humidity) moisture is absorbed by wool and heat is given off. In warm dry conditions, moisture is released by wool, resulting in a cooling effect. How well your carpet insulates largely depends on how much air it can trap. </p>
<p>Because of wool’s natural inbuilt crimp, air is retained in millions of tiny pockets which provide an insulating effect, thus creating a comfortable home environment.</p>

<h3>Luxurious and Hypoallergenic</h3>
<p>Wool carpets are naturally luxurious and hypoallergenic making them both aesthetic and suitable for those with allergies.</p>
<p>Ideal for allergy and asthma sufferers, wool does not promote the growth of bacteria, mould and mildew.This reduces the likelihood of spores, mycotoxins and volatile organic compounds from developing in the home, helping to prevent allergies and respiratory problems.</p>
<p>Wool fibre also deters the growth of dustmites – the most common single cause of asthma.</p>
