WHERE BETTER FLOORING BEGINS
NATURALLY GOOD FOR YOUR HOME
WOOL UNDERLAY SUPPORTS CLEANER, HEALTHIER INDOOR AIR
Modern homes are built to be warm, efficient and well sealed. That’s great for energy use but it also means the air inside your home stays inside for longer.
The materials we use under our floors quietly influence the quality of the air we breathe every day.
WHAT ARE VOC'S?
Many everyday building materials release tiny amounts of compounds into the air over time. These are known as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs).
VOCs come from paints, furniture, flooring and underlay — especially products made using synthetic rubbers, foams and adhesives.
In modern homes, these compounds remain in the air for longer due to improved insulation and reduced ventilation.
Why underlay plays a bigger role than most people realise...
Underlay sits beneath the entire floor of a room.
Unlike furniture or décor, it covers a huge surface area and remains in place for many years — meaning its impact on indoor air quality is constant.
The material used under your carpet matters just as much as what you see on the surface.
A healthier foundation for every room
Woolhouse underlay is made primarily from natural wool fibres and manufactured in the UK to high quality standards.

Lasting comfort
Many conventional underlays continue to release VOC's long after installation.
Wool does not behave this way.
WOOL VS SYNTHETICS
NATURAL FIBRES BEHAVE DIFFERENTLY.

A better alternative, without the premium
Most natural underlays sit at the very top of the market.
Most synthetic underlays sit at the bottom.
Woolhouse is designed to sit where real choice matters — offering a natural, low-VOC alternative at a price that works for modern homes, landlords and retailers alike.
Better materials.
Better air.
Better value.
What’s under your feet shapes the space you live in.
