This wool based carpet padding is a blend of course naturally pigmented wool's mechanically needled (not glued) to a jute facing.  Eighty percent of the wool fiber is pre-consumer waste.   The padding is free from dyes, fire retardant, glues, moth proofing or adhesives.   Color will vary from charcoal brown to tan, depending upon fiber availability.   Some vegetable matter may be present.  Average  thickness is 7/16 inch, and the average weight is 30-32 oz/sq. yd.  Individuals who have a sensitivity to animal fibers should obtain a sample before ordering. 

The padding has been designed specifically for these carpets. It is just the right density and firmness to provide the proper support and cushion to maximize the performance of the carpet.

This 100% natural wool padding will provide many years of use before needing to be replaced.  When it does, we urge our customers to recycle it to the garden where it will safely biodegrade while serving as an effective weed barrier and mulch.  Over a period of 2-3 seasons the padding will completely disappear, adding nitrogen and other nutrients plants need to the soil, essentially returning to grass. This wool padding has been designed to be used for wall to wall carpet only. It is not recommended to be used for rugs.

(Sold in full rolls only, each roll is 6' wide by 37.5' long = 25 sq. yards) (EWP)

• Naturally stain resistant. Wool repels liquids, which is what most stains come from.
• Naturally flame resistant. Wool fibers will not ignite if exposed to flames and they self extinguish quickly.
• Better air quality. Our wool carpet does not contain any toxic chemicals. The fibers can also hold dust particles until they have been vacuumed, which results in less dust in the air. Wool carpet can help purify the air by absorbing pollutants, according to a study by the Wool Research of New Zealand (WRONZ).
• Durable. Because of the natural resiliency of wool, wool carpets can hold their shape and fresh look longer than other types of carpet. When stretched or crushed, they bounce back to their original shape. Synthetic fibers lose their shape more quickly. Synthetic fibers flatten, wear in high-traffic areas, wear under furniture, or pill.
• Wool carpets are soft and luxurious. Our carpets are constructed using the highest quality wool available. This provides not only an extremely durable product but a luxuriously soft one as well. Our carpets are not coarse like many of the other natural face fiber products such as sisal, sea grass, coir and jute. Many times our products are used in nurseries because of the softness. We recommend ordering the carpet sample kit above so that you can feel them for yourself.

• Wool carpeting has a “useful” life of 20-25 years before it needs to be replaced. Typical synthetic residential carpets will need to be replaced about every 7 years. The synthetic carpets do not wear out per se, they just “ugly” out. Meaning they are no longer aesthetically pleasing to look at. They will however stay around in a landfill for an extremely longtime. Some estimates are that they will be around at least 10,000 years. Durable materials (wool carpeting) require less frequent replacement, generate less waste, and may also realize lower long-term costs. Having such a long useful life will reduce the cost per year as well the carpeting’s impact on the environment.
• No Dyes. The colors are derived from the wool as it is naturally grown on the sheep’s back. Just as you, your family and friends have a specific color of hair, so do the sheep have unique colors based on particular breeds. We take these naturally colored fleeces and blend them to achieve the beautiful colorations of our carpeting. No dyes or harsh chemicals (moth proofing) are applied.
• Biodegradable. Can be used as mulch, recycled, etc.
• Earth friendly. Non-toxic.
• Can be used over Radiant Heating. We have testing data that shows where carpets are favorably used with radiant floor systems. This is real world testing in an actual room size test chamber. The data validates what we have always known and of course this is great news to our customers that want the comfort/softness of non-toxic wool carpet instead of a hard surface floor covering.

• LEED Points:
  
  - Low Emitting, Renewable, Manufacturing Distance, Regional Materials, Construction Waste Management.
  
  

  	MATERIALS & RESOURCES   MR Credit 4.1: Recycled Content -- 1 point For this credit, the total project must contain 10% (based on cost) recycled content, in a ratio of 2:1 post-consumer to post-industrial recycled content. MR Credit 4.2: Recycled Content -- 1 point in addition to MR credit 4.1 This credit requires the total project to contain 20% (based on cost) recycled content in a 2:1 ratio of post consumer to post-industrial recycled material. MR Credit 5.1: Regional Materials -- 1 point This credit is earned if 10% of the total materials needed for a project are extracted, harvested or recovered, and manufactured within a 500-mile radius. If only a fraction of the material is from the region, that amount by weight will contribute to the regional credit value. (Shipped from Dalton, Georgia) MR Credit 5.2: Regional Materials -- 1 point in addition to MR credit 5.1 This credit is earned if 20% of a project's total materials meet the criteria outlined in section 5.1. MR Credit 6: Rapidly Renewable Materials -- 1 point To qualify for this credit, 2.5% of the total value of all building materials and products used in the project (based on cost) must come from materials made from plants that are typically harvested within a ten-year cycle or shorter.
  	INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY   EQ Credit 4.3: Low-Emitting Materials: Carpet Systems -- 1 point The requirements of this credit are met if all carpet installed in the building interior meets the testing and product requirements of the Carpet and Rug Institute's Green Label Plus program. Additionally, all cushion used must qualify for CRI's Green Label program, and all adhesive must meet the prerequisite standards of EQ Credit 4:1 VOC limit of 50 g/L.
  	In a lot of cases, LEED does not reward or in fact encourage the implementation of truly sustainable products. For example, in using natural materials versus synthetic. This is an area where a lot of “green washing” has taken place. It seems that the large corporations have been able to influence the program to meet the criteria of the products they produce instead of the other way around. It is not like this in all cases but if one looks closely, these shortcomings are quickly evident. Environmental health and planet welfare are about more than accumulation of “points” and who has the most money to influence policy.

  
   

• As with all quality natural fiber carpets, vacuuming with a suction only, no agitator, vacuum cleaner is recommended. Beater bar vacuum cleaners may damage the surface pile of the product. Therefore, you want to use a vacuum without the beater bar attachment. Proper vacuuming on a regular basis will increase performance. As with all wool carpeting, some pilling and shedding can occur. This is a natural characteristic of wool carpeting. Regular vacuuming can take care of this. You want to use a vacuum with a normal suction, not one that sucks too much. Make sure that the vacuum height is not too low. Use a vacuum that is not going to cause a lot of friction with the carpet. If you find that it is, see if your vacuum has an option to turn off the brush. Please do Not use a Dyson.
  
  Use carpet cleaners designed for natural wool rugs. Do not vigorously rub the affected area.  Lightly blot area instead.  If stain persists contact a professional cleaner and be sure they use cleaners designed for wool and natural fibers.

  Keep the use of soaps to a minimum. Soaps can stay inside carpet after they have been cleaned. This can result in them getting quickly dirty again. This can actually be said for any carpet.

  Spills usually blot up, and regular vacuuming removes dry dirt efficiently. Use only a wool approved cleaner for removing stains. Do not vigorously rub the affected area. Lightly blot area instead. If stain persists, contact a professional cleaner and be sure they use cleaners designed for wool and natural fibers. Do not use water-based cleaners designed for synthetic carpets. The moisture from water-based cleaners for synthetic carpets can shrink the fibers and pull dirt back into them. Vacuuming removes dry dirt efficiently. Use only a wool approved cleaner for removing stains. Do not vigorously rub the affected. Lightly blot area instead.  If stains persist contact a professional cleaner and be sure they use cleaners designed for wool and natural fibers.          

  Wool does well to professional carpet cleaning. The manufacture recommends using the Host Carpet Cleaning System.
   

• The initially cost more than some synthetic carpets. However, if taken care of properly, then can actually save money, considering they can last over 50 years. Wool is a very durable fiber.
• Wool can stain more easily than many synthetic carpets with chemical stain protections. Our wool carpets are free of these chemical treatments.
• It is true wool carpets shed a little. This is a factor of them being made from short “staple” fibers. In fact, all staple fiber carpets shed a little. Many synthetics carpets are made from staple fibers. Staple is really anything that is not continuous filament. The only natural fiber that I am aware of that is continuous filament is silk. Of course, silk would not be as durable as wool for use as a carpet fiber. In spite of the shedding that occurs with all staple carpet products, you can be assured that it is minimal and will in no way be noticeable in the appearance or durability of the carpet. You may notice small fibers in your vacuum cleaner if you were to inspect inside the collection bag. This is typical and is no cause for alarm.
  
   

1. Quickly blot up the mess without rubbing. Apply clean cold water to the stain to dilute it and blot gently with a clean white cloth. Dissolve a small quantity of mild cleaner such as a gentle soap, or approved wool cleaner in a bowl of lukewarm water. Test for color-fastness by applying the solution to a small area in an inconspicuous part of the rug. 
2. Dampen the stained area, working from the outside edges of the stain in. Then blot gently with a clean white cloth, turning it so that you use a dry area each time. Avoid rubbing. If the stain persists, repeat this step.
3. Rinse and clean the area. Blot and fluff the pile until the area is dry to touch.

• INSTALLATION: We recommend that the wall to wall carpets be installed by professional installers. For residential installations, installers will normally install the carpet by stretching it and using seam tape. For commercial installations, glue may be used.
  
  No, hand sewing is not required with our products. If you have an installer that can sew the seams and you prefer that method, there is nothing wrong with it. It is generally more expensive to sew the seams and that is the main reason we do not suggest it. We suggest that you find a competent installer that has experience with wool carpeting and has access to a low/no VOC seaming tape. Your installer will find that our products install very nicely because they do not have the stiff synthetic fillers in them like all the other products out there.
  
  Prices do not include shipping charges or installation. Yarn lot variances occur in natural fiber carpets, therefore, actual merchandise is not guaranteed to match these samples. Natural fiber carpets vary in texture and color. Slight variances in texture and color are normal and do not constitute a manufacturing defect. Due to the natural content of the sample, specifications are subject to nominal manufacturing variances. Supply or manufacturing changes may facilitate product changes without notice. Meets or exceeds methenamine pill test requirements for carpet and area rugs.
   
• IMPORTANT DELIVERY INFORMATION: Deliveries of wall to wall carpet are by freight company. It is normally easier to deliver wall to wall carpet to the installers business and have them bring it to you when they install it. For residential deliveries, freight companies need to call ahead of time to set up a day and range of time for delivery. With residential addresses, if the freight company arrives without an appointment, you can tell them to come back after they schedule an appointment. Freight companies that deliver flooring do not normally take the carpet off the truck. If it a commercial address with a dock, they will back the truck up to the dock. If it is a residence, they will normally bring it to the curb. Freight companies that deliver carpet are NOT normally able to deliver it to the inside. They normally just deliver to the curb and the customer takes it from the truck to the inside. Sometimes, they will put it on your driveway or in your garage but it depends on the particular delivery person that delivers it. I'm sorry to say that we are not able to promise that this will happen because it depends entirely on the particular driver, the size of the truck delivering it, and the width of you street and driveway. Please make sure that you have planned to have people there to take the carpet from the curb to the inside ahead of time. Each carpet order is made to order and is custom made. Once it has been shipped, it cannot be canceled. Custom size rugs are prepaid.
  
  Most of the rugs are normally shipped by Federal Express Ground. No appointment is made for these deliveries.

• Chemical Sensitivity: While we have many customers that have had a great experience with our carpet, we cannot guarantee nor comment on any individual/client’s reaction. It is up to each individual to decide on their own if our products work for them in their environment. No warranty is made as to individual reactions, physical or otherwise, regarding this carpet and its effects. We recommend that carpet samples are ordered prior to ordering the actual product.
   

• Do It Yourself Carpet Installation Instructions

• Carpet Samples Kit:
  
  The best way to choose which carpet is to be able to see it and touch it. The set of samples include  a sample of Dolomite: Snowfield, Tussock, Ursus, and Granite, Pyrenees Wheat, McKinley: Snowfield, Tussock, Ursus, and Granite, Rainier: Snowfield, Tussock, Ursus and Granite, Wool Padding, and the Rug Gripper. Each sample is approximately 4" x 4". Please make sure to see the carpet before ordering. We always recommend that you order the samples prior to ordering so that you can see, touch and smell the carpet prior to ordering. We do not recommend ordering the carpet or rugs without seeing the samples. 
  
  Sample Kit Price: $12.99   (Shipping within the USA is $9.88)
  
  

  
  
   

• For shipping quotes, please fill out our Carpet Freight Quote Form. For wall to wall carpet, it is much better to ship to a commercial address because it is cheaper, there are more shipping companies that can deliver it, and freight companies that deliver flooring only deliver to the curb/loading dock. It would be best to deliver to your carpet installer's business address if at all possible.

• Resources: There are over 200 chemicals used in conventional carpets. No one has made a serious attempt to determine which of these chemicals is responsible for acute illnesses in certain new carpet owners. Symptoms include fatigue, difficulty breathing, weakness, hair loss, skin rashes, dizziness, depression, loss of memory, confusion, headaches, and burning throats, noses, and eyes. Anderson Laboratories conducted a study of several hundred carpets under carefully controlled conditions. The data demonstrated that certain carpets release toxic (poisonous) chemicals into the air. The mice had the same reactions as the carpet owners: altered nervous system (falling, tremors, paralysis of legs, stupor, and convulsions), irritation to the throat, eyes, and nose, and difficulty breathing. The study can be found in Journal of Nutritional and Environmental Medicine, 1997, Vol. 7, pp. 177-185.
