why wool?

At ecohaus, we have one of the largest selections of wool carpeting you'll find anywhere. Wool has always set the standard for fine carpets, and it's easy to see why.

Wool carpets are soft and luxurious, warmer in winter and cooler in summer than synthetics. They hold their shape longer than any other type of carpet. And they're naturally stain-resistant, flame-retardant and easy to clean.

Wool is “green” by nature. Sheep can be shorn every 9 to 12 months, and wool is biodegradable. It needs none of the chemicals that must be added to synthetics to enhance their performance.

Some people don’t consider buying wool carpeting because they think it's too expensive. The fact is that it's competitively priced with standard high quality synthetic carpeting. And wool is a better value in the long run. If properly cared for, wool carpets can last 50 years or more.
