If you think carpets, rugs and runners are just for winter, then think again. With searches up by 1000% for \u2018next heatwave\u2019, we\u2019re finding ourselves getting our homes ready for the next round of sweltering temperatures. From adding air conditioning and swapping to using lighter duvets, many often forget that carpets and rugs can actually act as excellent temperature regulators. At <\/span>Alternative Flooring<\/span><\/a> our carpets, rugs and runners are designed to last, so it\u2019s important you choose the right one to work all year round.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve answered the top questions most people are asking, to help you make the perfect choice for your next installation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What most forget about wool<\/b><\/h3>\n

Wool<\/span><\/a> is so much more than just a cosy carpet fibre. Thanks to its unique, natural structure it helps regulate temperatures throughout the year. Tiny pockets within each fibre trap air to provide excellent insulation in the winter, while in warmer months wool naturally absorbs and releases both air and moisture, helping your home feel more comfortable and breathable.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regardless of the temperature, your carpet feels pleasant underfoot in any season. Unlike some hard flooring options such as tiles or natural stone, <\/span>wool<\/span><\/a> offers a softer, more comfortable surface to walk on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Beautiful, durable and naturally resilient, wool is just at home in busy hallways and on staircases as it is in relaxing bedrooms or home offices. It\u2019s a timeless choice that combines everyday practicality with natural comfort, making it the perfect option for all year-round use as a fully fitted <\/span>carpet<\/span><\/a>, bespoke rug, or runner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Wool<\/a>

Do <\/b>natural fibre<\/b><\/a> carpets keep you cool?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Yes. Plant-based fibres are natural temperature regulators, helping to create a comfortable living environment whatever the season. Although each fibre has its own unique characteristics, they all contribute to a naturally comfortable feel throughout the year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sisal<\/span><\/a> & <\/span>Seagrass<\/span><\/a>: A firmer feel underfoot, both of these plant-based fibres offer brilliant air circulation. Acting like organic dehumidifiers, they can absorb and release warm air whilst keeping cool underfoot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Jute<\/span><\/a> carpets, rugs and runners are known for their naturally comfortable feel and temperature-regulating properties. The fibre is derived from the giant Corchorus plant found in humid climates, making it perfect for bedrooms or low-traffic spaces, as a flexible and soft foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Coir<\/span><\/a>: Another great natural fibre, made from the husks of coconuts, its coarse, hollow structure allows air to circulate freely rather than trapping it, naturally absorbing excess heat from hot air and releasing it when the air dries out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sisal<\/a>

What are the best types of rugs and runners for summer?<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a simple way to refresh your home for summer, a rug or runner can make all the difference. Not only do they bring colour, texture and personality to a space, the right fibres can also help keep your home cool during the warmer months.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wool rugs and runners are an excellent choice all year round. Soft underfoot whilst being natural temperature regulators, wool helps to create a comfortable feel whatever the season. Renowned for holding dye beautifully, it makes the perfect canvas from subtle neutrals to bold patterns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
