What is normal fiber and why is it important?
Wool is one of the most common and oldest natural fibers used to make moquettes and rugs. Strong natural fibers are resistant to fire stains and pilling.
Wool has a coating of a type of fat called lanolin, which prevents water from spreading on the surface.
Wool also acts as an amazing insulator and its fibers will trap air. Another feature is sound and heat insulation.
All these advantages are gathered in a product that is very soft and comfortable, and that’s why wool flooring has many fans despite its high price. In many cases, wool can be combined with hemp fibers to produce a carpet that is resistant to fungus and mold growth.
