WHAT IS FELT
Wool felt is a non-woven material and is made from sheep's wool or virgin wool. It is considered one of the oldest materials in the history of mankind. The combination of moisture, heat and friction causes the wool to felt, compact and compress. This creates the uniformly flat fabric without a woven structure known as wool felt.
Wool felt is completely biodegradable and therefore protects the environment. Felt has excellent sound-absorbing properties that improve room acoustics by reducing reverberation and increasing speech intelligibility. It regulates humidity indoors and thus ensures a healthy and pleasant indoor climate by absorbing excess moisture and releasing it again when the air is dry. Felt binds and neutralizes odours, which is particularly beneficial in rooms with high noise emissions. The breathable structure of felt supports air circulation and contributes to temperature regulation. Felt is naturally water-repellent and dirt-resistant, which makes it easy to care for and clean. These properties make it ideal for high-traffic areas such as offices and public buildings. Wool felt acts as a natural insulator and helps to keep interiors warm in winter and cool in summer, helping to save energy. It is flame retardant and meets many safety standards, making it a safe material for interior design. Felt does not become electrostatically charged, making it ideal for use in electronically sensitive areas.

Its special structure makes it possible to meet a wide range of requirements in these demanding industries.
Felt is characterized by its excellent vibration-damping properties, which effectively absorb vibrations and shocks. This property is particularly important in vehicle construction, e.g. to minimize engine noise and vibrations, which contributes to a more comfortable ride. In machines and production plants, felt significantly reduces noise and prevents excessive stress on mechanical components. This makes a significant contribution to extending the service life of machines and systems, as there is less wear and tear due to friction and vibration.
Thanks to its elastic yet robust structure, wool felt is often used as a sealing material. It adapts perfectly to uneven surfaces, seals reliably against liquids, dust or air and prevents contamination from penetrating sensitive machine areas or vehicle components. In addition, felt's ability to distribute pressure ensures that loads are evenly distributed over the sealing surface, which ensures a consistently high sealing performance over long periods of time.
In the manufacturing industry, machines and systems are subjected to heavy use every day. Felt impresses with its high abrasion resistance and resistance to mechanical influences. This makes it ideal for use in moving machine parts, bearings and guides, where it serves as protection against friction and wear. This property makes it possible to extend maintenance intervals and reduce costs due to premature wear.
A key advantage of wool felt in the automotive, machinery and manufacturing industries is its natural fire safety. Wool felt is flame retardant and has self-extinguishing properties, making it ideal for areas where high temperatures or fire hazards may occur. In vehicle construction in particular, it protects against heat build-up in exposed areas, while in the mechanical engineering industry it helps to increase general fire safety.
Thanks to its flame-retardant properties and its ability to produce less smoke and toxic gases in the event of fire, wool felt often meets the stringent fire safety requirements of the industry. These certifications allow felt to be used in safety-critical areas without sacrificing functional benefits.
In addition to its mechanical advantages, wool felt also offers excellent thermal insulation properties. In vehicles, it helps to shield heat from hot parts and thus protect the vehicle interior. In the manufacturing industry, felt is used to protect machines from overheating and to ensure even temperature distribution, which increases efficiency and safety in production.
Felt is made from natural materials such as wool, which makes it particularly environmentally friendly. Wool is not only a renewable raw material, it is also biodegradable. In today's industry, where the concept of sustainability is becoming increasingly important, felt scores highly thanks to its environmental compatibility and recyclability. Wool felt is characterized by a long service life and high efficiency, which minimizes the use of resources.
