Wool Carpet Fitting in Mottingham — common questions
Measurably — the trapped air in wool fibres insulates. A Mottingham 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 Mottingham families would rather avoid.
