Return To Rugs Article Archive   Search the Article Archives Sisal Area Rugs By Shop for Area Rugs Sisal is a fiber created from the agaves plant, similar to hemp. It's used in making rope and twine, cellulose pulp for papermaking, and to create 100% natural sisal area rugs. The sisal fiber, like flax which is used to make linen, is naturally long and smooth, creating a lustrous yarn which can be woven into patterns of waves, ridges and other configurations, creating sisal area rugs of natural beauty and simple elegance. Sisal area rugs fit perfectly into todays natural contemporary styles and looks. the fabric is most often left undyed. In its natural state, the color ranges from deep brown to pale beige-tan, and is often set off by the binding used around the sisal. They can be bleached to soften the natural brown, or dyed, which will tint the sisal with a hint of color that emphasizes the natural texture of the weave. Sisal area rugs are anti-static, sound absorbent and fire retardant, as well as resilient underfoot. They can add a new dimension of warmth to a cool room, and a hint of sophisticated contemporary charm to even the most rustic room. In sizes from casual throw rugs to full-size room carpets, sisal area rugs can be used to define a conversation area in a room, or serve as a natural bridge between one room or another. They offer a 100% natural alternative for those who are ecologically conscious without compromising even 1% on style and appearance. The undyed sisal fiber gives sisal area rugs a neutral palette that ranges from taupe to warm brown, and blends with most color schemes. Sisal area rugs are also as durable as they are naturally handsome - the sisal fiber is so strong that it is often used to make rope and cords. It wears like iron, withstanding years of traffic without showing the wear. Whether youre looking to bring a touch of the outdoors into your contemporary room setting, or just seeking a rug that will set off your natural hardwood floor, sisal area rugs offer a wide range of weave and binding options that can be the perfect touch of contemporary, natural flair to bring your decor to life.
