Welcome to Bio-Floor, Earth Weave Carpet Mills, Inc. flagship
product.
This is a carpet unlike any other produced in North America. First
of all it is COMPLETELY biodegradable. Obviously, this is achieved
through the use of only 100% natural raw materials. The Bio-Floor
line is made with a face fiber of 100% natural wool.
There are no moth proofing or stain protections applied. In
conjunction with this we use only naturally pigmented wool fibers
for coloration as opposed to any of the harsh dyes and chemical
bonding agents other carpet manufacturers use. To further
differentiate this carpet we use a natural primary of hemp and
cotton. This is used instead of the traditional synthetic
polypropylene primary. The primary is the material that the tufting
machine places the wool yarn into and acts to hold it in place.
The next process is the application of adhesive and secondary
backing material. This further helps to lock the stitches in place
and prevents slippage of the yarn. This is another area where we
apply our unique techniques. The adhesive that Earth Weave uses is
100% natural and bio-degradable. It is made of natural rubber from
the rubber tree. The secondary (back of carpet) is made from jute, a
hardy earth friendly fiber producing plant.
All of these elements add up to make a product that is beautiful to
look at yet sacrifices nothing in the way of our commitment to
indoor air quality and the environment.
