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.
