Wool Rugs are Excellent Insulators

Why Insulating Fabrics Work Best

Having Persian rugs in your home is a great way to live a greener lifestyle. Wool is one of the most insulating types of fabric. It traps both warmth and coolness and doesn’t easily transfer temperatures between surfaces. What does this mean for your home? It translates to less energy spent heating and cooling your house.

If you have wood or tile floors, a wool rug can be a great way to insulate your home. Covering your floor in rugs makes it a little easier to keep your home at a comfortable temperature. When your air isn’t escaping through drafty floorboards, you don’t have to run your HVAC system as long. Not only does this help the environment, but it also results in lower energy bills for you.
