Return To Rugs Article Archive   Search the Article Archives Sisal Rugs for Home and Floor Beautification By Natural Home Rugs Sisal rugs are woven from natural plant fibers. Sisal rugs are strong and beautiful, and can be a lasting addition to a living room, bedroom, office, or hallway, because of its unique advantages. SISAL is a Mexican agave species known for its strength and long leaf fibers. The fibers are harvested as an annual crop, and then woven into rugs. Sisal fibers originate in a cactus plant called Agave sisalana that grows in Africa and Brazil. Since it is a cactus, it prefers arid desert climates where other kinds of fibrous plants would be scarce. Agave sisalana has long been farmed for its internal, tensile fibers that people make into rope and twine. The fibrous stalks are cut, dried, and treated to produce tan-colored lengths. A popular destination for this twine is to be woven into sisal rugs for the floor. Characteristics of Sisal Rugs · Sisal rugs are a smart choice. They are extremely strong and versatile, ideal for high traffic areas like hallways. · It is warm, soft, and durable. · Sisals come in accent sizes on up to room sized. · Anti-static, sound absorbing, flame retardant. · Available in a wide variety of classic colors and styles. · Sisal Rugs are designed for heavy wear. · Another advantage of choosing sisal rugs is that the edges can be trimmed in any fabric you desire. Keep in mind that sisal rugs are not designed to be used in high humidity or wet areas, such as bathrooms or kitchens. Since sisal is an organic material, it can develop water stains. However, in the rest of your home it actually helps to regulate mild changes in humidity by absorbing excess moisture in the air and releasing it during drier days. Your sisal rugs will stay in great shape with vacuuming frequency depending on the level of use in any given area. Carpet stains should be cleaned immediately, and, whenever possible, you should protect your sisal carpeting with an acrylic polymer fabric spray that creates a water barrier.
