Looped Wool Carpet

8 years ago

I am looking into a wool looped carpet fo a great room. My biggest concern is piling or fuzz. Has anyone used a large loop carpet? The carpet that I like so far is Godfrey Hirst's "Venus" for heavy traffic. I have no pets.

I cannot recommend Godfrey Hirst. I had to be very persistent in getting them to replace a 50/50 wool nylon carpet that was rated as residential/heavy duty. It started to fuzz and pill, worse in the traffic areas, shortly after it was installed.

I hate carpet in a space where you have greasy popcorn drinks etc .Wool carpet is nice I guess in bedrooms but not in high traffic areas , they pack down and are difficult to get stains out of.

Our neighbors had this type of carpet. No pets, but 2 children ages 4 and 6. Carpet didn't hold up a year. Looked terrible within 6 mos. of installing it.

I was considering something similar for bedrooms in a ski condo (the rest of the condo is hard wood) but after reading this I'm a little spooked. Anyone have any experience with Unique Carpet Ltd? Any feedback?
