✨ Wool vs Synthetic Carpet
Thinking about having a custom rug or runner made, but not sure which type of carpet to choose?
Wool or synthetic? It's something we're often asked about, and the truth is, both have their advantages!
🐑 Wool carpet is a favourite for good reason. It's naturally soft, warm underfoot and incredibly resilient. Here in New Zealand, we're lucky to have some of the finest wool in the world, so it's a fibre we know and love! With a little care, good-quality wool carpet can last for years.
🌿 Synthetic carpet is another great option, especially if you're after something practical. With a huge range of colours, textures and price points, there's plenty to choose from. Many synthetic carpets also offer excellent stain and fade resistance, making them a popular choice for busy households.
So, which would we recommend?
It really comes down to where your rug is going, how it'll be used and what matters most to you. Both can be great choices!
At Norca, we can turn carpet into custom-sized rugs, runners and mats, finished with your choice of edging to suit your space. ✂️
