Wool Runners

Wool fibres are springy, durable and full of air pockets that provide excellent insulation. The majority of our wool carpet runner ranges are suitable for high traffic areas such as stairs and hallways, however we would recommend checking each individual product's suitability just to make sure it suits your needs.

Wool is a natural fibre that is often recommended for people with allergies because it is naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to bacteria, mould, and dust mites, which are common allergens. Wool can naturally help to improve indoor air quality by absorbing pollutants and allergens from the air.

Please bear in mind that our wool carpet runners do have backings and may have also been dyed and treated with moth proofing; therefore you would need to check each individual product for its chemical composition just to be safe. Please speak to your local Alternative Retail Partner to find out more. 

The great news is that our collection of Everyday Favourite Wool Runners are that they can be loose laid in areas such as hallways and this can be done by yourself. However, when it comes to installing a wool runner rug on your staircase, to get the best results, we would recommend reaching out to one of our local retail partners who have years of professional experience. They will go through all the options available to you, visit your home to measure, estimate and when it comes to installation, they will ensure you get the best results.

At Alternative Flooring, we are craftspeople with a conscience and ensure that sustainable quality is woven into every stitch and fibre. Ethically sourced and climate friendly, some wool runners are made from 100% wool fibre while others are wool 'blends', mixing with other natural fibres to help create various styles and patterns. Our Quirky collection of patterned wool runners are designer and made in the UK from certified British wool.

We don’t just manufacture, we “manucraft”, where we combine expert craftsmanship with the latest manufacturing technology to help tread lightly on our planet.

Wool is a natural and durable material that is relatively easy to maintain and clean, making it a great choice for high-traffic areas such as entryways and hallways where pets may frequently walk or lie down. So, if you’re looking for a wool runner that’s pet-friendly, foot-friendly, and all around trendy, then check out our collection now. 

When it comes to wool carpets, rugs and runners, we recommend only cleaning with products that have the WoolSafe Certification Mark. Remember to always blot and never rub, otherwise you could change the direction of the pile. Never use washing up liquid or soap which is designed for general household use as they could end up causing rapid resoiling, colour bleeding or damage to the pile.
