A hardworking 100% wool berber
Canton is a thick tight berber made with 100% pure new wool from the Netherlands. This is a hefty weight carpet that will withstand lots of abuse. It is 5/16" thick and 13' 2" wide and comes in 4 warm heathered colors: gray marble, marzipan, natural slate, and warm baguette.
Wool has been widely used for thousands of years because of its amazing properties that last a long time:
- excellent thermal insulator— keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer
- excellent acoustical insulator— great sound deadening properties
- natural air purifier— attracts air-borne dust particles and common pollutants where they can be harmlessly vacuumed away
- allergy resistant — naturally resistant to dust mites and bacteria
- flame retardant — self-extinguishing and hard to burn
- natural air conditioner — absorbs moisture on humid days and releases it when air is dry
- lowest carbon footprint— wool carpet utilzes 1/3 to 1/6 the energy compared to synthetic fibers.
