Sisal Rugs

Sisal runners & rugs are made from the stems and leave of the Agave-a dark green, spilky bush found in sub-tropical climates in Brazil, Mexico and Africa. Sisal carpeting is hardwearing, anti-static, dyes very well and its smoother pile make it appear more sophisticated than other natural floorcoverings. Sisal carpet lends itself to use on stairs, wall-to-wall installations, and for sisal area rugs where its texture works well with borders. It is probably the best natural fiber to use in bedrooms. Sisal rugs and sisal weave carpet are usually the most expensive natural floor covering.

Sisal rugs are obtained from the leaves of a spiky bush similar to a yucca plant. Sisal can be spun into yarns of different weights. It is woven into a variety of simple patterns, which can look subtle or strongly textured, depending on the weight of the yarn. Unlike other natural floor covering, sisal can be dyed in strands, before being spun, so the sisal rug can be solid-colored or multicolored. Different colors can also be spun into a single yarn to give finished sisal area rugs a subtly colored, metallic quality. It is possible to paint sisal carpet quite successfully; borders and allover patterns can be applied either before or after the material is installed. It is a durable yet gentle material, which popularly used for sisal runner mats, sisal area rugs, and for wall-to-wall carpeting.

About Sisal

Although these types of rugs and carpets are currently regarded as high fashion by today’s consumers and designers looking for floor-coverings the truth is that natural floorings are hardly new. The origins are visible in the ancient Egyptian culture. They took bulrushes from the Nile and wove them into mats.

Sisal plants produce a fiber which is stronger than many other common fibers such as flax, hemp, and jute.

The fibers of sisal natural floor coverings are often left undyed, so they take their color from the plant from which they are made. They can be bleached to offer a lighter, more neutral look. Sisal can also be dyed. This can give the material a subtle hint of color without impairing the natural, undyed look.

Import Flooring have made a commitment to excellence by providing exceptional quality fiber flooring. We select only the finest natural fibers for our area rugs that blend modern technology with classic textile traditions. Nature provides variations of color and fiber thickness which combine to make each of our area rugs truly unique.
