Wool carpets London

Why do we respond so positively to older oriental carpets, but less so to new ones? Is it their designs or colours, or their history? Is it the romance of the exotic, or all of these factors together? Wool has the ability to absorb large amounts of moisture vapour without feeling wet and clammy. The finer the wool fibre, the more hanks (greater length, thinner yarn) can be obtained from one sheep or lamb. The value of wool depends not only on the fineness, but also on the softness, of it. The finest wool is found, as a rule, in the region of the shoulders and neck of the sheep. Hippocrates cured the terminally ill by using sheep’s wool, since sheep’s wool has a beneficial effect on the energy of the human organism and creates a wholesome environment. Wool fibre has a natural crimp due to its unique chemical and physical structure. We supply wool carpets London for both domestic and industrial floors. This causes the fibres to bend and turn, giving wool an inherent three-dimensional crimp. Different breeds of sheep have different properties of woollen fibre, so manufacturers may blend different breeds together to get the best combination of strength, softness, resilience, and affordability.

Sisal carpets London

Like most plant fibres, however, sisal carpets absorb moisture readily, therefore we recommend that these materials be used only in your house, in dry areas of a home or office. Sisal and sea grass are relatively easy to maintain. The hard, natural vegetable fibres do not attract dust, and bacteria cannot penetrate the fibres of your carpet. Sisal fibres are typed by properties relational to the performance of the fibre. Researcher Sara Kadolph has found that sisal fibres are smooth, straight and yellow and can be long or short. Sisal carpeting is resistant to scuffing marks and dirt prints caused by hand or shoe contact, an we are specialist suppliers and fitters of sisal carpets London UK. Since it is non-static, natural fibre, dirt and dust are not attracted to it. Presently, even in a depressed state, the sisal industry is employing over 100,000 people and is the fourth largest agricultural exporter.
