Are there any Insulation Benefits of Wool Carpet?
Yes, wool is an excellent sound and temperature insulator, with an R-value of about 3.5 to 3.8 per inch of material thickness. You can lower your heat bill by simply installing natural wool carpet. This is because wool traps air in millions of miniscule pockets, and since air does not conduct or disperse heat well, it will hold onto the warmth, making your floor toasty and the heat radiating from your body will not be absorbed into the floor.
