Wool carpets aren’t just visually appealing; they also offer a host of practical benefits that make them an excellent choice for your home. At Cormar, our premium wool carpets deliver outstanding durability and comfort, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere in every room.
Join us as we explore the many benefits of wool carpets, from their sustainable properties to their natural resilience.
Wool is a naturally renewable resource. Regular shearing is an essential part of caring for sheep, providing a fresh supply of 100% natural wool each year for the carpet industry. Wool is sustainable, biodegradable, and recyclable, so it won’t spend centuries taking up space in a landfill. This makes wool carpet a great choice for both your home and the planet.
Wool’s natural ‘crimp’ makes it exceptionally strong, bouncing back after being trodden on to retain its original appearance. Cormar’s wool carpets are all suitable for heavy domestic use. Their sturdiness means they can handle the demands of daily life, while their natural resilience offers peace of mind.
All of our wool-based ranges are treated with a moth-resistant agent during the yarn production process, giving you extra peace of mind when choosing your new carpet. If fitting a carpet somewhere a moth infestation already exists, the treatment will not prevent further attack. Therefore we advise that the infestation is thoroughly removed in situ before fitting a new carpet.
Wool contains natural oils that are resilient to dirt and other household soiling; ideal if you have little ones around the house. This results in less time and money being spent on cleaning products, meaning that with regular vacuum cleaning, your carpet will look good for many years to come.
As a natural ‘smart’ fibre, wool helps to regulate humidity and improve air quality in your home by absorbing moisture and releasing it when needed. Wool also acts as a natural filter, trapping allergens and removing them from the air you breathe. Additionally, wool carpets are naturally flame retardant, giving you an extra layer of safety.
Investing in a wool carpet can save you money over time. Wool carpets are natural insulators, helping to keep your home warm and cosy during the colder months. The luxurious comfort of wool adds an extra touch of warmth and sophistication to your living spaces.
Another major advantage of a Cormar wool loop and wool twist carpet is the high-quality feel and texture, as well as the vast range of colour choices available. Our wool twist ranges such as Woodland Heather Twist are made using tightly twisted yarn, to create a hard-wearing dense pile carpet which is perfect for a family home. Our wool loop carpets including our Fairisle range are made using two or three-fold yarn to give more of a textured high-quality feel, suited to both contemporary and classic interiors.

Wool carpets are actually quite easy to maintain. They are naturally soil-resistant and only need regular vacuuming to keep them looking their best. Most stains will easily lift using water and a wool-safe spot cleaner. For more information on caring for your wool carpet, view our wool care guide here.
