Green Product Highlight: Custom Carpets from the Scott Group

Custom rugs have been on our minds lately here at Judy’s Custom Workroom. One vendor we love, the Scott Group, came in recently and showed off their latest collections. They make carpeting for residential and commercial interiors, including aircraft, hospitality businesses and yachts. Their custom carpets are made from such luxury fibers as New Zealand wool, cashmere and mulberry silk. These fibers all come from sustainable and renewable natural sources.

“The pure New Zealand wool in our handcrafted, luxury rugs and carpets is one of nature’s most perfect materials. Along with its natural beauty, softness, and durability, it is also 100% rapidly renewable…Even after it’s shorn from the sheep, dyed, and hand-tufted into carpets, natural wool continues to renew itself. Over time, it develops a patina that maintains its color and texture, adding years to the life of your carpet. It’s also naturally resistant to dirt, wear and tear, enhancing its long-term sustainability.”

What’s more, wool absorbs airborne contaminants, actively cleaning the indoor air you breathe by neutralizing harmful gases such as formaldehyde and sulfur dioxide. In fact, Scott Group  has earned CRI’s prestigious Green Label Plus qualification for indoor air quality, recognizing our carpets among the very lowest emitting products on the market and meeting the EQ standards for LEED certification. Of course, wool is naturally insulating, too, reducing heat loss through flooring while creating a more comfortable atmosphere. It also absorbs excess moisture in the room and creates an inhospitable environment for bacteria and dust mites, which can trigger allergies and asthma.

“For over 40 years Scott Group Custom Carpets has been a good steward of the environment, making our products a very green choice, no matter what color you choose”

The beautiful fabrics above are a part of the Scott Group’s latest collection. What is so great is that all of their carpet designs can be altered-the scale of the pattern can change, the colors, the cut, and overall size and shape. The Scott Group can also make wall to wall carpets and area rugs custom designed by you (with the help of the designer’s here at JCW!)
