Hemphill’s Featured in Article About Earth Friendly Floors

Like everything else in home décor, flooring evolves. While we are moving away from petroleum-based carpets and classic (and perhaps endangered) mahogany floors, wood takes on new looks, leather gets used underfoot, stainless steel serves as flooring and carpet alternatives crowd the market.

What to choose among new-age flooring depends a lot on your lifestyle. Think about who uses your rooms and how. Do pets live inside? Do kids play on the floor? And most importantly, does the family eat in your living spaces?

One of many wool carpets available at Hemphill's

Brett Hemphill, at Hemphill’s Rugs & Carpets in Costa Mesa, says he has measured four jobs in two days for seagrass installations. “It has been our most popular carpet in the entire store for about the last four years. “

According to Hemphill, the price of oil has a direct effect on the price of synthetic carpet, so nylons are falling out of favor. “It takes 7 gallons of petroleum to produce 35 pounds of nylon carpet,” he said. “These days you can get wool for about the same price.”

Photo Feature: Before and After

I wanted to take the time to share some photos sent from two wonderful clients in Corona del Mar. We had a great time working together. And they were kind enough to share some before and after photos. In case you are wondering, the faded burgundy carpet was the “before”.

Living Room Before

Living Room After

The product is Konecto Exotics Teak Maui. The product offers a 25 Year Residential Limited Warranty or 10 Year Commercial Limited Warranty.
This installation had an old wood floor in the entry and the kitchen. We installed the Teak Maui right over the top of it. Since this is a loose lay “floating” install, one can
simply remove it if desired with no damage to what is under it. We have another client who is renting a home in Newport Beach. They did not like the tile that was in the home they are renting for the next several years. We installed the Konecto over the tile. When they move out, they can simply remove the floor and the tile is intact and unharmed.

Is Wool Right For Me?

Should I consider buying wool carpets? Wool carpets are wonderful! Wool carpets have made my life miserable! This is actually one of those situations where both of these statements can be 100% true. My hope is to help you determine which one of these groups you belong too before you go through the expense of investing in wool carpet.

I have been in the floorcovering business for over 20 years and I have seen some wonderful and not so wonderful wool carpets. Wool is soft and it feels great to walk, crawl, or lay on. It feels like walking on soft hair. Wow! It is soft hair! The wool fiber consist of three main parts. The epidermis (cuticle) consisting of protective, overlapping scales on the fibers outer surface. The cortex, which composes most of the wools fiber and the center of the wool fiber is called the medulla. One of the facts that makes wool kinda scary is that it is a protein. Why could this be bad? Wool proteins can chemically bond with other proteins that can permanently attach itself to the wool fiber.

The real protein problem usually arises from our pets. Most of our pets throw up their food which is primarily a Protein base. These pet accidents can quickly turn our beloved soft haired carpet into a visual tapestry of pet throw up, urine stains and other digestive processes that I do not like to think about. Often, these stains will permanently affix themselves and become part of the wool fiber. Another source of protein comes from the food we eat. Baby food may have a high protein concentrate and if applied to your wool carpet it may become a sentimental remembrance of your child’s baby years. Wool is considered the finest carpet fiber in the world and if I did not have pets and small children I would seriously consider the expense. You also have to be very careful not to get bleach on your wool carpet. Bleach will actually cause the wool fiber to dissolve and leave you with a hole in the middle of your carpet. That being said, bleach will merely turn your nylon carpet white. Many over the counter cleaners have a small amount of bleach in them. The advantages of wool carpet include that it feels soft, holds color very well, wears well, soil resistant, cleans well and it is naturally non flammable. The wool fiber is also very elastic and it can expand 3 to 4 times its’ size. This helps the wool fiber be naturally durable.

The negative traits of wool fiber include that it is very sensitive to alkalinity (high PH soaps), costs more than synthetic fibers, costs more to clean, not resistant to Protein stains, will dissolve in bleach and can be damaged by carpet beetles and moths. Consider the pluses and minuses as they pertain to your life.

Over 70 Name Brands – Meet a Few

Warm and gentle, soft and sensual, carpet is perhaps the most indulgent of all floor coverings, inviting you to lie down, stretch out and experience its luxury. With its wide range of colors, fibers, textures, and resilience, there are many things to consider on the road to selecting that “perfect” carpet. A broad expanse of carpet creates a simple sweep of color that serves as a quiet visual foundation for the room and, at the same time, greets the eye with a delicate play of light and luster.

The best carpets are made of wool, woven either on a wool or cotton base, and the best carpet wool comes from New Zealand. Wool is strong, soft, easy to dye and importantly 100% natural.

Introducing Hibernia Woolen Mills

Hibernia Masterpiece

WOOL CARPET “GOOD ENOUGH FOR MOM”…

Hibernia Woolen Mills was founded as a partnership of 5 carpet professionals with over 185 years of combined experience in the high end carpet trade. With backgrounds in fiber and yarn, carpet design, dyeing, tufting, and marketing their team of owners offers a finished product that will satisfy the toughest performance requirements while providing unequaled elegance and style. Today they continue their consistent dedication to supplying only products that we would put in our own families’ homes, and thanks to that focus Hibernia Woolen Mills has become a leader in the wool carpet industry.

ONLY THE WORLD’S FINEST WOOLS GO INTO HIBERNIA WOOLEN MILL’S PRODUCTS…

Hemphill’s Rugs & Carpets is proud to offer Hibernia’s wool products that utilize only the finest wools in the world. Every Hibernia carpet is made from yarns that are spun in the old world tradition from Virgin New Zealand and British wool fibers chosen for their specific performance enhancing characteristics. Their wools and yarns insure that your carpet will provide unequaled beauty and performance.

ONLY TRIPLE SCOURED YARNS AT HIBERNIA…

HIbernia’s dedication to the highest possible quality standards insures that they only use wool yarns that have been “Triple Scoured”. Scouring the final product is a costly and time consuming process that is not utilized by a lot of mills. Scouring finished yarn washes the fibers clean of spinning oils and natural wool grease that can attract dirt, and this hot water process sets the twist in the yarn. This insures that Hibernia products outperform trade standards for soiling, and helps to develop and lock in the natural crimp in each fiber that gives properly manufactured wool carpet its exceptional crush resistance and floor performance. Less costly wool products usually have not been through this process, and while they offer low price they provide poor performance and soil resistance.

Hemphill’s Rugs & Carpets offers Hibernia carpet along with products from over 70 different sources worldwide. We are located in Costa Mesa, CA and have customers throughout both California and the United States.
