How to Incorporate Sisal Carpets in Commercial Spaces for a Professional and Eco-Friendly Appeal

 Natural fibre Sisal Carpets have become increasingly popular as consumers are looking for alternatives to synthetic carpets, that aren’t as friendly on the environment. There are many different types of natural fibres that can be used to make a rug, including wool, jute and seagrass, but the most common is sisal. Sisal Carpets are made from the leaves of the Agave Sisalana plant, which is harvested and woven together to make beautiful floor coverings.

 As entryways and hallways

Sisal Carpets are incredibly durable, and can stand up to heavy furniture traffic, unlike other types of rugs. They are also very good for preventing the formation of watermarks or staining on your floor. This means they are perfect for areas of the home that receive a lot of footfall, such as entryways and hallways. They are also ideal for living rooms, dining rooms or offices, where you have large pieces of furniture that would leave indentations in less hardy carpet materials.

 A vacuum with a beater bar and a strong suction

The hardiness of sisal carpets makes them easy to maintain. Frequent vacuuming is the best way to keep your rug clean, using a vacuum with a beater bar and a strong suction. This will remove the fine dirt particles that can lodge between the fibers and cause wear and tear on your rug over time. A natural sisal or jute rug will also require minimal use of cleaning products, which is great news for allergy sufferers and those who are concerned about the chemicals in synthetic carpets.

Sisal rugs are backed with latex

Because of their light and neutral colour, sisal rugs will complement a wide range of colours, styles of furniture and other rugs. They also work well with wood or stone floors for an outside-inside look that will give your home a fresh, organic feel. Almost all of our sisal rugs are backed with latex, which helps to stabilize the fibres and improve their durability and quality. It also stops most of the dirt from filtering through to your floor, making it easier for you to remove it with a regular hoover or vacuum cleaner.

If you are planning to use a sisal or jute rug in a high-traffic area, it’s worth considering having it treated with a stain resistant sealer. This will help to prevent stains from spilling and staining the rug, so you can enjoy it for longer.

 A softer carpet materia

One thing to bear in mind is that sisal rugs are not as soft as other carpets, and can be rough underfoot. If you have children or pets, you may want to consider a softer carpet material for these rooms.

Another advantage of Sisal Carpets is that it’s 100% biodegradable, so when you are ready to change your flooring, you can recycle the material instead of sending it to landfill.
