Carpet & Area Rugs
Helios Wool Carpet - Blue Ridge - Catalina Home – Kravet
Kravet Area Rugs! Uniquely designed, Kravet’s new collection of carpets captures the art of weaving. High end wool, silk and natural fibers are combined, highlighting the uniqueness of a hand-made process and deep textural interest. All wools used in the collections are hand washed without bleach or chemicals, preserving the natural qualities of the fiber. Hand-carding and hand-spinning prepare the wool for the dying process. Top quality Swiss and vegetable dyes are employed, resulting in a unique color range to complement today’s interiors. Many styles allow for custom coloration to coordinate with your decor. Wool and silk rugs are a sustainable luxury and last for hundreds of years.
Helios Carpet is 100% New Zealand Wool and is inherently the cleanest, whitest wool in the world. You can tell the difference as soon as you touch it! It has superior resistance to fiber crush, naturally repels water and stains, and is static and flame resistant. Unlike cheaper wools, ours do not cause allergic reactions and have superior sound and insulation properties. Helios is a noted environmentally conscious mill offering runners and custom area rugs with cotton, jute, and leather borders.
Helios Wools improve air quality by absorbing common contaminants. High quality wools absorb vapor from the air in humid conditions and release it when the atmosphere becomes dry. Its moisture content and proteins make it flame resistant and self-extinguishable. Quality wool is non-allergenic. It does not promote the growth of bacteria or dust mites or off-gas. The carpet minimizes allergic reactions since it is able to hold dust in its structure until it is removed by cleaning. Do you have asthma? Helios Wools are safer for asthmatics since the fibers are too long and coarse to be inhaled.
Catalina Home uses highest quality Stainmaster yarn with Tactesse type 6.6 nylon fiber. No other fiber offers the soft feel, low luster and unsurpassed performance. Stainmaster is America’s number one carpet fiber brand for stain resistance. Catalina Home carpet products are beck dyed for consistent coloration and fade resistance and feel fuller, softer. More time and effort go into the quality of weaving, adhesives and backings than typical carpet manufacturers. Located in California, their mill meets the most stringent environmental codes in the USA, including less toxins and low VOCs. Many of the patterns have dual tones and multiple layers.
