Natural Area Rugs

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: chickie maxwell

People buy area rugs for a variety of purposes. Some purchase one because it has been a family tradition. Others may buy it for practicality's sake. And some would buy it to highlight or complete the look of their room.

When buying an area rug, one of the most important considerations to take note of is the kind of material used in the finished product. The base material or the raw product is the starting point of all rugs and it decides how a rug may look and feel like or how long it may last. If you are buying a rug just because you needed one fast, you may not care much about the type of material it is made of. But if you are looking for something worth showing off, or keeping, or something which you have a personal value for, the material is the first thing you would have to examine.

There are two types of rug materials: natural and synthetic or man-made.

Natural materials are derived from animal and plant fibers. In this category belong wool, jute, sisal, cotton, bamboo, and sea grass among others. Synthetic or man-made materials, on the other hand, include nylon, viscose, acrylic, olefin or polypropylene, and rayon. Both materials are widely obtainable but differ in quality, price, durability, and aesthetic appeal.

The most popular material for making area rugs is wool. It is a fibrous and furry material taken from sheep, goats, alpaca, or Ilamas. It is highly resilient and resistant to stains, water, fire, and dust mites. Area rugs made of pure wool are often highly-priced due to their quality, feel, and look. To make it more economically appealing for budget-tied customers, other natural materials such as cotton and sisal are blended with woollen area rugs.

Sisal, a plant fiber taken from Agave Sisalana or American Aloe, is native to Central America. It has excellent anti-static and sound absorption properties and lasts long. Jute, a plant fiber concentrated on the stems, is used to make yarns and fabrics. Unlike sisal, it is less durable and vulnerable to stains that is why it is often blended with synthetic materials.

Bamboo is a woody, sturdy material endemic to China and Japan. It is used to make quality but inexpensive area rugs. On the other end of the spectrum is silk, a natural fiber seen on precious Persian and Oriental rugs. It is popular for its luster and shine. All area rugs which have silk as its main or component material automatically gets a price tag hike. When buying this kind of rug, have a professional rug cleaner clean it for you. Also, it should be handles with utmost care so it is not recommended for high foot traffic areas.

Natural area rugs are more popular than synthetic ones because the latter lacks the qualities that make rugs touchy-feely: warmth and coziness. Wool and silk still stands as the most sought after natural rug materials but this is only wholly true for countries in Asia, Central America, and the Middle East. In Africa, Brazil, and other parts of Asia, jute, sisal, and sea grass are more popularly used.
