Advantages and Methods for Distinguishing Genuine and Fake Wool Rug Tiles

What are the advantages of wool rug tiles?

Wool rug tiles are soft, resilient, brightly colored, thick, and have good anti-static properties which means they do not easily age or fade. However, they have poor insect resistance, bacterial resistance, and moisture resistance. Wool rug tiles have good sound absorption ability and can reduce various noises. The thermal conductivity of wool fibers is very low so heat is not easily lost.

Advantages:

• As a type of custom printed carpet tiles, wool rug tiles can also regulate the indoor humidity and have certain flame retardant properties. Depending on the manufacturing process, pure wool rug tiles can be divided into three types: hand-woven, machine-woven, and non-woven.

Hand-woven carpets are more expensive, machine-woven carpets are relatively cheaper, and non-woven carpets are a newer variety with characteristics such as mute dust suppression and convenient use. Due to the relatively high price of wool rug tiles and the risk of mold and moth damage, households generally use small pieces of wool rug tiles for partial paving.

• Like sculpted wall to wall carpet, high-quality wool rug tiles have good sound absorption ability and can reduce various noises.

• Insulation effect: The wool fibers of wool rug tiles have a low thermal conductivity, so heat is not easily lost.
  

• Fire performance: In addition, good quality wool rug tiles can also regulate indoor humidity and have certain flame retardant properties. However, low-quality wool rug tiles have very low or almost no sound absorption ability, heat is easily lost, and they are prone to mold and moth damage. Therefore, households generally use small pieces of wool rug tiles for partial paving.
  

Two methods to distinguish between genuine and fake wool rug tiles

Although wool rug tiles are comfortable, they are expensive. Unscrupulous manufacturers replace wool with chemical fibers to make a profit. Because wool rug tiles have obvious advantages and are expensive, counterfeit products have emerged. The main method is to mix fake materials to impersonate pure wool rug tiles. Now we will tell you how to choose high-quality wool rug tiles.

• Judging by feel: Wool rug tiles are soft, resilient, and comfortable, with bright colors and thick texture; the thermal conductivity of wool fibers is very low, so heat is not easily lost.

• Burning method: The so-called wool rug tiles, within the national statutory hair-containing ratio, can take a few fibers of wool rug tiles, ignite them, and the burning is slow, emitting a burnt hair odor. The ash is a shiny black small spherical shape, which is a true wool rug tiles. If there is burning hair odor, the burning is fast, and the ash is black block-shaped or spherical, then it is a wool blend carpet.
