Humidity control …
Wool has quality and style — the enduring quality and style of wool is still seen by the world ’ s fashion and interior ’ s champions as being superior to other fibres .
Wool is safe and slip free — wool is the perfect flooring for the home — young children or the elderly can be protected from accidents with a soft flooring .
Humidity control …
The way wool can absorb humidity and remove or wick moisture from the immediate environment means that wool works perfectly in modern living and work space . Buildings that are unventilated will build up moisture from human breath , perspiration , plants , cooking and washing . This all will accumulate into condensation problems such as growth of mildew or mould . Excess humidity can promote dust mites and poor health . Wool furnishings can exert a significant buffering effect against changes in the humidity of indoor air by reducing condensation . It will absorb the excess moisture within the fibre and release it as the conditions change to restore balance . �
Did you know …? Wool is hygroscopic and can absorb up to 30 % of its own weight in moisture without feeling wet . People will lose nearly two pints of water on a typical day through perspiration and transpiration .
