Wool carpets are made from a naturally sustainable and biodegradable resource, and offer a number of properties that can aid wellbeing - from reducing noise, the ability to filter out harmful airborne allergens and regulating humidity. Wool absorbs moisture when the atmosphere is damp, and releases moisture when it's dry - this combined with a large capacity to absorb VOC irritants and odours (Volatile Organic Compounds) means it is a natural way to improve indoor air quality.

100% wool and wool-rich Knightsbridge carpets carry the EnviroChoice tick - meaning the manufacturing process meets stricter specifications in relation to key environmental indicators, independently audited by Environmental Choice New Zealand. As part of gaining this accreditation, the carpets have been made using less water, less energy and with ingredients kinder to the environment.

Carpet in your home can significantly reduce your energy costs in both heating and cooling when there are temperature differences between the indoor air and that under the floor - anywhere between 8-12%. That makes it not only an energy-wise choice but a healthy one as well.
