When specifying what flooring is to be installed on a project it is worth considering the mental and physical health benefits of wool carpet. The mental health of staff is enhanced in a calm, quiet atmosphere. Wool carpet and upholstery naturally absorb sound, so you don’t get the stressful cacophony of noise from scraping chairs, footfall and the echo of multiple conversations. Wool carpet has a positive impact on the physical wellbeing and productivity of staff within facilities by dramatically improving indoor air quality. Wool carpet regulates and balances indoor humidity, removes volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from the air, traps dust and pollen that trigger allergic reactions such as asthma and hay fever and, continues to filter the air for up to 30 years! WoolSafe can help your clients keep this giant wool filter clean with safe and effective maintenance products and a global network of Approved Service Providers.
London-based Perla Windows has joined the Steel Window Association (SWA).
