Benefits of Area Rugs:

Added Warmth & Protection: A well-placed area rug can warm up a bedroom or living room, and add an extra layer of protection for your prefinished hardwood, ceramic or laminate flooring from stains, spills, dents and scratches.

Unlimited Design Potential: Whether your decor is traditional, modern or eclectic, there is an area rug perfectly suited to your rooms.

Heirloom-Worthy: Many area rugs today are built with lasting quality in mind. A well-maintained area rug can be passed down from generation to generation.

Area Rugs Styles & Fibres:

Fibre is turned into yarn during the manufacturing process and that yarn is then used to construct the area rug. There are a number of fibres to choose from:

Nylon: The most popular carpet fibre because of its exceptional durability, versatility and price.

Polyester: This fibre is soft to the touch but tends to lack bounce so it is used mostly for residential applications in low traffic areas.

Olefin (Polypropylene): This fibre is naturally stain/fade resistant. It is favourably priced for both indoor and outdoor applications and resists static electricity. However, due to its relatively low resistance, use should be restricted to low-traffic areas.

Wool: Wool is a natural fibre with moderate soil and stain resistance. It is a more costly application but provides a beautiful appearance.
