Spotlight on Westex
Moth Resistant Carpets for Cambridgeshire
Introduction
A fresh carpet underfoot can make all the difference, it softens a room, adds warmth and ties your décor together beautifully. However, beyond choosing the right colour and texture, there is a smart detail many households overlook: protection.
You might think moths are a minor nuisance until you spot the damage. When moth larvae feed on natural wool fibres, they can leave behind thinning patches or holes that ruin even the nicest carpet. That’s why at Floor Coverings we only source carpets we trust, which is why we’re proud to recommend Westex, for moth resistant carpets in and around Cambridgeshire. Their wool and luxury synthetic carpets come with built-in protection you can rely on.
Why Moth-Resistant Carpets Matter
When you invest in carpeting, you want it to look great for years, not worry about hidden damage. Moth larvae feed on the keratin in wool. Westex carpet engineers explain:
“The active ingredient in the moth-guard makes the keratin that moths, bugs and other insects thrive upon, indigestible. They literally starve as their digestive systems are unable to convert the keratin they have eaten into usable food.”
That’s the kind of proactive protection that matters. With a moth-resistant carpet, the risk of unseen damage is reduced from the start.
The Westex Difference – Durable Protection Built-In
Westex carpets carry more than just a name. Every carpet includes a range of treatments, including:
Westex carpets carry more than just a name. Every carpet includes a range of treatments, including:
- Moth Guard – protects wool carpets against moths and other wool-eating insects, permanently bound into the fibre.
- Stain Resist – a treatment that bonds to the fibre to help resist the penetration of stains, offering easier stain removal.
- Fresh Guard and Allergy Guard – added benefits that neutralise pet odour, inhibit mould and protect against allergens.
Importantly, the moth-guard protection is not a surface spray; you must reapply. Westex states that it; “combines with the wool fibre on a permanent basis and will last the lifetime of the carpet.” That means when you choose a Westex carpet from Floor Coverings, you’re choosing peace of mind that’s built in.
