Wool Carpet Fitting in Dartford — common questions
Measurably — the trapped air in wool fibres insulates. A Dartford bedroom on wool over 10mm underlay is genuinely 2–3°C warmer underfoot than the same room on synthetic.
No — wool is naturally flame-resistant. Synthetic carpets need chemical treatment to meet the same standard, which some Dartford families would rather avoid.
Modern wool blends are moth-treated at the mill. In 20 years of DA1/DA2 fits we've had one moth issue — and that was a rug over the top, not the carpet.
For a low-traffic Dartford main bedroom, yes — softer, warmer, more expensive. For stairs and hallways, 80/20 is the smarter spec because the nylon adds abrasion resistance.
