Hibernia Woolen Mills
Carpet
Welcome to Hibernia Woolen
Mills, where
traditional styling, a dedication to quality, and
outstanding customer service all combine to define us as
a premier
supplier of superior wool
carpets for
high end designers and
consumers.
WOOL
CARPET "GOOD ENOUGH FOR
MOM"...
At Hibernia
we like to say that we design and engineer superior
quality wool carpet "Good Enough for Mom"... This simple
slogan has been our focus and guiding beacon since our
company was founded as a partnership of 5 carpet
professionals with over 185 years of combined experience
in the high end carpet trade. With backgrounds in fiber
and yarn, carpet design, dyeing, tufting, and marketing
our team of owners brings a finished product to you that
will satisfy the toughest performance requirements while
providing unequaled elegance and style. Today we continue
our consistent dedication to supplying only products that
we would put in our own families' homes, and thanks to
that focus Hibernia Woolen Mills has become a leader in
the wool carpet industry.
ONLY THE WORLD'S
FINEST WOOLS GO INTO HIBERNIA WOOLEN MILL'S
PRODUCTS...
We are proud to
offer wool products that utilize only the finest wools in
the world. Every Hibernia carpet is made from yarns that
are spun in the old world tradition from Virgin New
Zealand and British wool fibers chosen for their specific
performance enhancing characteristics. Our wools and
yarns insure that your carpet will provide unequaled
beauty and performance.
ONLY TRIPLE
SCOURED YARNS AT HIBERNIA...
Our dedication to
the highest possible quality standards insures that we
only use wool yarns that have been "Triple Scoured".
Scouring the final product is a costly and time consuming
process that is not utilized by a lot of mills. Scouring
finished yarn washes the fibers clean of spinning oils
and natural wool grease that can attract dirt, and this
hot water process sets the twist in the yarn. This
insures that Hibernia products outperform trade standards
for soiling, and helps to develop and lock in the natural
crimp in each fiber that gives properly manufactured wool
carpet its exceptional crush resistance and floor
performance. Less costly wool products usually have not
been through this process, and while they offer low price
they provide poor performance and soil
resistance.
HIBERNIA CARPETS ARE "ENGINEERED" FOR PERFORMANCE AND
EASE OF INSTALLATION...
Every Hibernia
Woolen Mills product is designed with an obsession for
floor performance, and engineered for ease of
installation. We know that the final step in insuring
customer satisfaction is fitting the carpet to the room
and Hibernia will not offer any product that is an
installer's nightmare. There are a number of wonderful
"looks" that we don't have in our line, and it is because
they are very difficult to install correctly without
significant problems.
SATISFIED
CUSTOMERS NATIONWIDE...
From beach front
cottages in Cape Cod to hilltop Victorians in San
Francisco, our customers share a common faith and trust
in Hibernia's high quality standards and dedication to
service before, during, and after the sale. Choose
Hibernia with confidence and enjoy the luxury,
performance, and comfort that our fine carpeting will
bring to your home.
With proper
care your Hibernia carpet will give you many years of enjoyment
and comfort. Wool carpet is like many other natural products,
which become more beautiful with age and use. Proper vacuuming
with a good adjustable upright vacuum on a regular basis is
essential. You need to make sure you set your vacuum so that
the brushes barely touch the face of the carpet. Wool carpet
will shed immediately after installation. This is normal and
the shedding will dissipate within a short period of time with
proper vacuuming. Your vacuum cleaner dust bag should be
emptied when half full. Your vacuum will remove foot borne dry
soil. For accidents and spills that occur please refer to our
information chart for cleaning your Hibernia wool
carpet.

TAKING CARE
Regular carpet cleaning is essential to
maintain the appearance of your wool carpet.
Use a good vacuum, preferably upright and with
an adjustable beater bar. (Be sure the beater
bar is not worn .) Remember, your wool carpet
will shed immediately after installation. This
is quite normal and will dissipate within a
short period of time.
