Natural Fiber Non-Toxic Carpet & Area
Rugs
Bio-Floor™ Collection: Bio-degradable, Non-toxic
Wool Carpeting by Earth Weave Carpet Mills,
Inc.
This is a carpet unlike any other produced in North America.
It is chemical-free, completely biodegradable, and the
raw materials used in its production are 100% natural and
renewable.
- The face fiber of Earth Weave's Bio-Floor™ carpet
and area rugs is 100% natural wool.
- Unlike most commercially available wool carpeting,
there are no pesticides or stain-proofing chemicals applied.
- Only naturally pigmented wool fibers are used for coloration—no
dyes or chemical bonding agents.
- Natural hemp and cotton are used as the primary backing
materials—no synthetics or polypropylene. The secondary
backing is made from jute—a hardy, earth-friendly,
fiber-producing plant.
- The adhesive that Earth Weave uses to lock the wool
yarns in place is 100% natural, bio-degradable rubber.
Wool fibers are elastic, and when crushed or stretched,
their resiliance enables them to spring back to their original
shape, unlike synthetics that pill and wear in high-traffic
areas and matte down beneath furniture. In addition, the
scales on wool fibers hold onto dirt until it is vacuumed
away, which helps the carpet stay cleaner. And wool fibers
absorb airborne pollutants, so wool carpeting can
help clean the air in your home!
These elements make Earth Weave's Bio-Floor™ beautiful,
durable and comfortable, yet supportive of healthy indoor
air quality and the environment. It is available as broadloom
(wall-to-wall carpeting) and area rugs. Enertia™ wool
fiber padding and 100%
natural rubber rug grippers are
available.
We chose to represent Earth Weave not only because their
products are wonderful and healthy, but also because they
are committed to 100% sustainable resource floor coverings.
They do not manufacture from non-renewable resources, including
the "recycled pop bottle" products gaining popularity
today. For although these recycled products are marketed
as environmentally friendly, virtually all consumer floor
coverings end up in a landfill after use. Bio-Floor is
100% biodegradable, and unlike floor coverings made from
petrochemical-based products
like pop bottles, Earth Weave carpet and padding will decompose
in a landfill. A 5-year warranty
against manufacturing defects
is included
with
the purchase
of
Bio-Floor carpet. |
Why Natural
Fiber Carpeting?
Asthma, allergies, multiple chemical sensitivites and
environmental illness are on the rise, as people—both
young and old—are exposed to low levels of toxic
chemicals in
their homes, schools, and work places. Health complaints
associated with synthetic carpets (sick building syndrome)
include serious neurolgical, central nervous system and
respiratory problems.
Two pounds of styrene butadiene latex adhesive—a
highly reactive compound—is applied to each square
yard of most
carpets. Other toxic chemicals found in conventional floor
coverings include polypropylene, urethane, synthetic rubber,
synthetic dyes, stain repellants, antistatic chemicals,
antimicrobials, and pesticides. Most of these chemicals
off-gas into the air. Avoiding these airborne toxins is
important for everyone concerned with health, and especially
families with children who crawl and play on the floor.
The
Earth Weave Commitment
 Earth
Weave Carpet Mills, Inc. is in business to manufacture
and promote renewable resource floor covering products
for the 21st Century. Our commitment lies not in recycling
petrochemical products, but rather in taking advantage
of the ultimate manufacturer; Mother Nature, and her renewable
natural resources.
Using Mother Nature's vast renewable resources, Earth
Weave will manufacture innovative, high quality floor coverings
for both residential and light commercial applications.

 100%
Natural Rubber Rug Gripper
Enhance your area rug's comfort
and performance with Earth Weave's durable, all
natural
rubber
gripper.
This
100%
natural rubber pad will provide a safe, non-skid
foundation for your area rugs.
Unlike synthetic rubber made from petroleum, natural
rubber is an excellent environmental choice. It is
a renewable resource, made in the USA from natural
latex which is tapped from the Hevea Brasiliensis—commonly
known as a rubber tree. There are no toxic substances
or ozone-depleting agents used in manufacturing it,
and rubber plantations help combat the greenhouse
effect.
The pad will not stain any type of floor, and can
be easily cut with scissors to custom-fit any size
rug. Average thickness is 1/8 inch. Standard sizes
range from 2X3 to 10X14, see prices below. Also available
in custom sizes and by the roll. Contact
us for shipping cost. NOTE: Individuals who
are sensitive to natural rubber or latex should contact
us for a sample before ordering.

 Enertia™ Padding
Earth Weave's Enertia™ 100% natural wool
carpet padding is a blend of course, naturally pigmented
wools, mechanically needled (not glued) into a cotton
scrim.
It is free of dyes, glues, pesticides, adhesives
and other chemicals. Color will vary from charcoal
brown to tan, depending upon fiber availability,
and some vegetable matter may be present. Average
thickness is 7/16 inch. Average weight is 40 oz/sq.
yd.
This 100% natural padding will remain cushy even
under high traffic, and will provide many years of
service before it needs to be replaced. When it does,
we urge customers to recycle it to the garden where
it will safely bio-degrade while serving as an effective
weed barrier and mulch. Over a period of 2-3 seasons,
the padding will completely disappear, adding nitrogen
and other nutrients to the soil.
NOTE: Individuals who
are sensitive to animal fibers should contact
us for a sample
before ordering.
$189 for 25 square yard roll (6' X 37.5')
= $7.56 per square yard. Cut sizes may
be available with purchase of area rugs. Contact
us for quote on shipping and custom sizes. |

| Earth
Weave carpeting meets or exceeds the Methenamine
Pill Test flammability requirements for carpets and
area rugs. Due to the natural fiber content, specifications
are subject to nominal manufacturing variances. Supply
or manufacturing changes may necessitate product
changes without notice. Yarn lot variances occur
in natural fiber carpets and actual merchandise is
not guaranteed to match samples. Natural fiber carpets
vary in color and texture, and slight variances do
not constitute a manufacturing defect. As with all
quality natural fiber carpets, vacuuming with a suction-only
vacuum cleaner is recommended, as beater bar vacuums
may damage the surface pile. Proper vacuuming on
a regular basis will improve performance. Use only
a wool-approved cleaner for removing stains. Blot
affected area, do not vigorously rub. Light use of
a 1:3 white vinegar/water solution may help
remove remaining material. If stains persist contact
a professional cleaner
who
uses
cleaners designed for wool and natural fibers.
Matting, crushing, soiling, staining or other changes
in appearance
are not considered manufacturing defects and are
excluded from the manufacturer's warranty. No warranty
is made as to individual reactions, physical or otherwise,
regarding Earth Weave carpet, padding, and rubber
gripper and their effects. Individuals who are sensitive
to
animal fibers, natural
rubber,
hemp, cotton or jute should contact
us for a product sample before ordering. |
