The Rugs Guide
Looking for that perfect finishing touch to your latest project? A rug is one of the easiest ways to add instant style and warmth to a living space. With a modern mix of plains, patterns, textures, shape and sizes in the finest quality, we have the perfect rug.
- WOOL
Wool is the benchmark material for most rugs and carpets; it exudes warmth and has an attractive appearance. Wool is soft, strong and durable and is excellent for absorbing moisture. It has an excellent elasticity and has a natural resistance to dirt, wear and tear.
- COTTON
A natural fibre, used mainly as a blend with our fibres for our rugs. Cotton fibres are easy to dye, are very breathable and are easy to wash – making it great for lighter weight rugs.
- ACRYLIC
Acrylic is a lightweight, soft, warm manmade fibre with a wool-like feel. It is excellent for achieving vivid dye colours and often teamed with wool to achieve vibrancy in colour with wool blend rugs.
- POLYESTER
A manmade fibre with benefits including durability, colour fastness and a level of water resistance. Again, polyester is good for achieving vivid colour tones.
- VISCOSE
This fibre has a lovely lustre and softness, which mimics silk and adds shine and depth to rugs.
- BAMBOO
A form of viscose made from bamboo pulp, is extremely resilient and durable.
