Outfitting your home in new carpet can be a daunting task, but taking the time to make the right choice for your family is a worthy investment. Weisshouse has been a leader in the Pittsburgh carpet market for over 60 years. Our lasting success is dependent largely on our strict adherence to standing by high quality materials that last. Today we're looking at all the reasons that the Weissguys love wool!
Environmentally Friendly
Wool is durable, resilient, and most of all, comfortable. Another added bonus? Wool is a renewable resource! It grows naturally on sheep all year long and is the only widely available carpet choice not made from oil. Not only is it more environmentally conscious choice in regards to manufacturing, wool's long life span greatly outweighs the steeper price tag than its synthetic counterpart. Each year billions of pounds of carpet make their way from residential and commercial buildings and end up in landfills -- wasting valuable space and resources.
Performance
The natural crimp of wool allows it the ability to retain brilliant dyes gives it the upper hand in retaining your carpets texture. It looks better longer and wears gracefully, gaining character as it ages. Unlike other synthetics, the microscopic scale texture of wool makes it naturally stain resent. Other carpets are treated with stain repellents that will deteriorate over time, leaving your carpet looking dingy and dirty.
Safety high on your list of priorities? Wool is naturally fire retardant and self extinguishing.
Value
Don't let the price difference fool you, in the long run wool carpet will actually cost you -- and the environment -- less! The natural stain resistance allows wool to require less cleaning than synthetic alternatives. Wool fibers absorb and release moisture as needed, helping moderate your home's temperature and humidity.
Comfort
Wool is the ultimate choice for softness and style. It's naturally delustered fibers make it look and feel great, and it's moisture control allows it too feel warm in the winter and cool in the summer. No other fiber can achieve the natural feel of wool.
Backed by a 3,500 year history, it is hard to argue that any fiber can promise the beauty and luxury of wool.
