4 Eco-Friendly Carpet Options That Won’t Break the Bank

If you are looking for high quality carpets in Ipswich, it could be worth thinking about the benefits of ‘going green’. These days, eco-friendly fibres are very sophisticated and can offer as much comfort, warmth, and style as less economical materials. Plus, there is a diverse and varied selection to choose from. Everything from wool to jute, sisal, and reformed carpet is on offer, at affordable prices, from reputable vendors and local showrooms.

For those who are not familiar with eco-friendly fibres, shopping for them can seem a little intimidating at first. However, it is all about learning which materials provide the most heat and warmth, for the least amount of manufacturing. These products also tend to offer the best value for money, because they are easy to produce. They are available in a huge variety of different colours and styles as well.

This guide to four of the best ‘green’ carpet options will help you find the perfect product and save money.

Wool

You’re right to think that wool is a slightly more expensive option than a lot of other fibres, but the best thing about it is that is can be extremely durable. This material represents a serious investment, because with the right care, it will last many years. Plus, it delivers a level of luxury and sumptuousness that no other fibre can. So, for a floor that makes you feel like royalty, it could be time to try wool.

The majority of wool carpets have a 100% natural and sustainable backing to them. However, if you are really keen to make a green purchase, it is always best to ask before you buy. If you head over to a local showroom or store, you’ll be able to shop for high quality carpets in Ipswich and walk out with a real bargain too.

Reformed/Recycled Tiles

This option is best suited to high traffic areas like hallways, walkways, and stairs. It is a popular choice for commercial buildings, because it is very durable and can withstand a lot of pressure. For this reason, it doesn’t always offer the same degree of softness and comfort as something like wool or jute. On the other hand, in an office or other workplace, strength tends to be the most important factor.

This type of fibre is very eco-friendly for obvious reasons. It has been reformed and recycled from existing carpets. The thing to remember is that this doesn’t necessarily mean older or even second hand carpets; most products are made up of materials that didn’t sell, but haven’t been utilised yet. The quality of these fibres are, therefore, of a high standard. This isn’t a poor quality material and doesn’t represent a decision to downgrade.

Sisal and Jute

Jute and sisal are two naturally occurring fibres, so they are extremely good for the environment; as compared to traditional carpets in Ipswich. While sisal is remarkably hard wearing and makes a great choice for commercial spaces, jute is both eco-friendly and very soft underfoot. It is a popular choice in bedrooms, for this reason.

Sisal actually has a stunning appearance and can look very beautiful if bought in a complementary colour and tone. It has a kind of woven effect that adds luxury, style, and sophistication to any interior space. Jute carpets are also available in a variety of distinct patterns and they include squares and herringbone arrangements.
