What is felt?

Felt is a non-woven material made by compressing wool or other fibers together using heat, moisture and pressure. Over the millennia, felt has been used in numerous cultures, where it has primarily found use in packaging, bags and protective boxes. Its natural ability to insulate and resist abrasion makes it unique.

Felt is gaining ground in both the design and business sectors, where its unique texture and sustainability are appreciated. From office furniture to acoustic panels, felt's versatility is in growing demand. This leads many companies to consider the use of felt. Filt offers a combination of functionality, aesthetics and environmental considerations that meet the needs of modern businesses.

Sustainable properties of felt:

Reusability: Felt made from recycled materials contributes to a circular economy and reduces waste.

Low energy consumption: The felt's production process requires less energy compared to many other materials.

Biodegradation: Natural felt breaks down over time, which minimizes the long-term effect on the environment.

What are the benefits of felt?

Applications: From acoustic insulation to artistic design, felt can be shaped and adapted to a wide range of applications.

Maintenance: Felt is naturally resistant to dirt and moisture, reducing the need for intensive maintenance.

Economical: Compared to other materials, felt can be cost-effective, both in production and use.
