The carpet pad is one of the most important aspects of carpet installation that is often overlooked because it is not visible. Most homeowners don’t think too much about what material their carpet padding or underlay is made of. However, the type of padding you choose will actually affect the appearance and longevity of your carpet. Wool carpet padding is one of the best options you can consider if you are looking for a natural fire retardant, dust mite repellent, and durable carpet cushion. Natural wool is highly recommended if you want a healthy and long-lasting carpet padding. With wool carpet padding, you can be sure that you are using a non-toxic underlay that does will not cause any allergies or illnesses associated with chemicals.
A wool carpet pad is installed to protect your carpet. It keeps the carpet’s underside from wearing easily against the floor. Moreover, it helps absorb impact from furniture and footsteps to reduce the stress on your carpet. This type of carpet pad goes perfectly with an organic wool carpet. With the right wool carpet padding, you can prolong the life of the natural wool carpet while ensuring that it can maintain its natural properties for repelling dust mites. High-quality natural wool carpets are made of pristine British wool, which is not treated with stain protectants, pesticides, and dyes that can off-gas and contaminate the air quality of your home. It is made with cotton and hemp backing, too, for superb mold and mildew resistance and durability.
There are different kinds of wool carpet padding you can consider for your home, and each has its own set of advantages. A basic wool-based carpet underlay is mechanically needled onto a cotton scrim. It is naturally pigmented, so you do not have to worry about artificial dyes, which may contain an abundance of toxic chemicals that may off-gas. The clean wool carpet padding is safe for heated tiles and wood floors. You should be able to get it in a size that is 7/16 of an inch thick and about 40 ounces heavy per square yard. Reputable suppliers of organic and natural wool products can provide this wool padding in 25 square yard rolls, with or without a carpet.
When choosing wool carpet padding, make sure that it is made of 100 percent organic wool from healthy sheep that is free to graze. That way, you can be sure that your carpet is safe and healthy for you and your family. Natural wool helps regulate the temperature of your floor to keep your room cooler, too.
