Product Features and Benefits

What is the benefit of wool carpet over synthetic carpet?

Wool carpet is naturally soft, insulating, flame-resistant, and biodegradable. It retains its shape and appearance for years and offers superior indoor comfort.

Are Prestige Carpets suitable for high-traffic areas?

Yes, our carpets are designed with durability in mind. Wool’s natural resilience, combined with our expert construction methods, makes them ideal for both residential and light commercial spaces. Each range has its own grading specifications, so be sure to check the recommended usage before purchasing to ensure the best performance for your project.

Are Prestige Carpets hypoallergenic?

Wool carpets are naturally hypoallergenic. They trap dust and allergens until vacuumed and help maintain indoor air quality without off-gassing harmful VOCs like some synthetic carpets.

Is wool carpet good for allergy sufferers?

Yes. Wool carpet is an excellent choice for allergy sufferers. Its natural fibres trap dust, pollen, and other allergens, holding them until vacuumed – helping to improve indoor air quality. Unlike some synthetic carpets, wool doesn’t release harmful chemicals or VOCs.

Do you offer stain-resistant carpet options?

Wool is naturally stain-resistant to a degree, thanks to its lanolin coating. This natural protection helps wool carpets repel spills and resist soiling. However, it's important to treat any accidents promptly and correctly. We recommend checking our comprehensive Carpet Care Guide before attempting to remove any stains, to ensure the best results and to maintain warranty.

Can Prestige Carpets be used with underfloor heating?

Yes, many of our carpets are compatible with underfloor heating. Always consult your installer and follow manufacturer guidelines to ensure correct installation and temperature control.

What is the best type of carpet for living rooms?

For living rooms, comfort and style are key. Heavy weight loop or cut pile wool carpets create a soft, luxurious feel underfoot, while offering warmth and acoustic benefits. Our range includes styles to complement both modern and classic interiors.

What is the best type of carpet for bedrooms?

Bedrooms deserve softness and relaxation. All of our products are suitable for bedrooms, it simply comes down to your preferred style and feel. We recommend plush or cut pile wool carpets for their cosy texture and warmth. These carpets add a touch of luxury while helping to insulate against noise and cold floors.

What is the best type of carpet for stairs?

Stairs need durability and resilience. Low pile cut or loop carpets are ideal for stairs because they withstand heavy foot traffic and resist flattening. Their texture also adds grip for safety.

What is the best type of carpet for homes with pets?

For homes with pets, textured wool carpets are a practical choice. Their natural fibres help resist dirt and stains, while the texture can disguise pet hair and minor marks. Wool is also easy to clean and naturally odour-resistant.
