Cormar Carpets based in Lancashire are avid supporters of the ‘Campaign for Wool’. This is a nationwide marketing campaign introduced by the Prince of Wales to remind Britain why we all love wool.
The campaign is backed by lots of major high street names including John Lewis, Marks & Spencer and Burberry to name but a few, but also includes British fashion, carpets, and textiles and many others.
With wool prices at a historic low, farmers have been receiving less money for fleece and as a consequence this is changing the shape of farming in Britain where some farmers were receiving less money for the fleece than it cost them to have the sheep sheared. Farmers then brought this to the attention of HRH Prince Charles who works tirlessly to encourage the rural preservation of Great Britain.
Cormar Carpets have been producing wool carpets for many years in both cut pile and loop pile styles. Cormar Carpets tell us that some of the benefits to using wool in the manufacturing of carpet is that it resists dirt and stains, its hypoallergenic and flame resistant, hard wearing and long lasting and its retention of pile shape and height also cushions fall related injuries.
In addition to supporting the campaign for wool, Cormar Carpets also use wool because it is a natural product and synthetics are manufactured from man made chemicals. Wool is very durable and will last a lot longer than synthetics making it especially good for high traffic areas such as hallways and stairs. Cormar Carpets also like wool because it is easy to clean. It resists staining and soiling because of the natural light wax that coats the surface of the wool, helping to stop dirt and stains from penetrating the wool.
But beware, just because a carpet may advertise itself as a British wool carpet this doesn’t necessarily mean that it was manufactured in Britain. British wool is exported all over Europe so the carpet could have been made overseas. To ensure that you buy a wool carpet made locally in the UK, look out for the Union Jack logo shown on most UK produced carpet. Cormar Carpets have a Union Jack logo which says ‘British Made by Cormar’, you know when you see this logo on carpet that its been manufactured in Lancashire by Cormar Carpets and is made using British wool.
Wool carpets are likely to be more expensive than synthetic made carpet but wool carpets will definately last a lot longer and will wear a lot better than synthetic carpet. Your carpet is used heavily in your home, where people walk on it every day so it makes sense to pay a little more for good quality carpet and if you buy Cormar Carpets then you know you are buying quality.
