Sisal Carpets - Durable, Long-Lasting and Eco-Friendly & How Sisal Carpets Contribute to a Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Home
When it comes to natural Sisal Carpets fibres there are lots of choices such as wool, jute and seagrass but one of the best options is Sisal Carpets. Sisal is made from the strong and sturdy leaves of the agave plant which makes it hard-wearing, long-lasting and low-maintenance. This is a durable, eco-friendly choice with a rustic texture and neutral color that will compliment almost any decor and furniture.
A good choice for areas of high traffic
Unlike jute which is light in colour and can show dirt more easily, the darker shade of sisal is less likely to display dust, dirt and footprints so it's a good choice for areas of high traffic. It also doesn't compress or display dents from furniture so is great for dining rooms where you might have a heavy table and chairs.
Like all natural fibres, Sisal is biodegradable and renewable so once it's served its purpose as a carpet, it won't spend an eternity in landfill and it doesn't produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Regular hoovering with a beater bar type vacuum should keep your sisal looking beautiful and fresh.
Natural fibres
Natural fibres are breathable which helps to regulate room temperature and minimise moisture in the air. They also act as a natural dehumidifier and help to prevent mould and mildew. However, if your rug does get wet or damp you should dry it as quickly as possible.
Make it easier for you to clean
Our range of Sisal Carpets is manufactured from premium natural sisal fibres that are sourced from industry leading suppliers. The fibres are woven into a strong base which is often latex backed to keep the rug flat and to make it easier for you to clean. The latex backing stops the majority of dirt and liquid from filtering through to the carpet fibres so you can simply sweep, hose or brush off the vast majority of surface dirt before hoovering.
Most synthetic carpets
Sisal is very thick and dense which means it will last much longer than other natural carpet fibres. It can stand up to the rigours of everyday use better than most synthetic carpets and will stay firm underfoot, making it ideal for use in busy family spaces where furniture might be moved around a lot. Because of the density and strength of the fibres, it will resist abrasion very well.
If you want to change the look of your Sisal Carpets to suit the season or for a new decor theme, it's easy to dye your sisal rug in a wide range of natural shades. Our supplier uses only natural, plant-derived colours and the process is water-based which means the pigments won't wash out or fade over time.
Conclusion
It's important to note that if you have a jute or sisal area rug that is left out in direct sunlight it will eventually start to curl. This can be corrected by placing the rug under a weighted blanket and allowing it to rest overnight or by using a steam iron on the back of the mat.
