The Carpet That Cares

Carpet is a highly versatile flooring surface on which we live, work and play. As well as pleasing the senses, and making for a more comfortable environment, additional benefits include:

• Increased safety and comfort – As Feltex carpets are soft, they absorb energy as they are compressed. This reduces muscle stress and also the risk of injuries arising from falls. Carpet also provides greater friction, which means fewer falls.
• Noise reduction – Feltex carpets help reduce the level of noise – which is an issue that is becoming more important as we live and work closer together.
• Humidity control - Feltex carpets have been proven to help stabilise the humidity in a room by absorbing and releasing up to a third of their own weight in water during periods of high or low atmospheric humidity.
• Indoor air quality - Feltex carpets have been proven to help clean the air by absorbing toxic pollutants such as formaldehyde, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen, cigarette smoke, exhaust fumes, aerosols and more.
• Thermal insulation – Feltex carpets increase thermal comfort by reducing the loss of body heat, reducing drafts and buffering humidity.
• Resistance to fire - Feltex wool carpets have been proven to be naturally flame retardant. They are difficult to ignite, and have a low spread of flame. These carpets also have slow heat release properties and a low combustion heat.
