Wool Rugs VS Polypropylene Rugs: You decide!

Can’t make up your mind between purchasing a wool rug or a synthetic rug?

We've got you covered! Cantikwall can help you choose which rug material suits you and your lifestyle best.

What is a synthetic rug?

​Synthetic rugs are made using man-made fibers, like polypropylene, nylon, acrylic, or polyester. ​These materials are made from petroleum in a lab and sent to factories to be machine woven into rugs.


​

What are wool rugs?

Wool rugs are hand woven or hand-tufted and use natural wool with hundreds of knots used to create intricate patterns and designs. Cantikwall also has the best collection of wool rugs that are far better than any other kind!
​Did you know that wool is a natural noise insulator? This prevents your home from echoing and shielding you from hearing outside traffic noise.

How long do wool rugs and synthetic rugs last?

Wool:
Well-maintained wool rugs will be in your home for at least 50 years and can be used as heirloom pieces for generations.
Wool is one of Mother Nature’s most durable fibers.
You will be able to pass your wool rug down to your children and grandchildren for many generations.
Because of their sturdiness and scarceness, wool rugs can make great investment pieces with antique wool rugs selling at high values.
Wool has a naturally curly texture and spiral shape that make it ideal for high traffic areas.
Wool will not be disheveled down over years and heavy furniture.
Just like fine leather, wool rugs impress with age making them look and feel even more luxurious than the day they were delivered to your home.

Synthetic:
The usual life span of a polypropylene, nylon, acrylic or polyester rug is 3-5 years with professional cleaning.
 Synthetic rugs are not as resilient to foot traffic as wool rugs.
All synthetic rugs lack wool's brilliant spiral structure created by Mother Nature, meaning the fibers tend to become matted down and tear from foot traffic and heavy furniture.
