The sisal rugs and sea-grass rugs are the best choice for you living room, dining room and kitchen. They keep the floor cool in the summer and they are made by natural fibers, so they don’t build up static and don’t trap dust.

Sisal rugs are made out of the highest grade fibers of the sisal plant which is agave sisalana plant which produces a stout fiber used in making robes resistant clothing. The fibers straight, smooth and yellow and they can be long or short. This is what makes the rug very resistant and long lasting. The agave plant has its origins in the Americas, but in the present over fifty percent of the sisal production comes from East Africa. The reason is that the African fiber is longer, finer and white, qualities that make the fiber dye clear, even colors. It also helps the yarn become consistent and smooth.

Most of the sisal weaves imported by the rug producers come from Kenya and Tanzania and dyed, spun and woven in Belgium. This is considered the best sisal in the world. Other sisal weaves come from Brazil and Mexico. Sisal rugs and carpets still stand as good choice for the common customers, because of its great qualities: they don’t build up static nor trap dust, they are natural, require low maintenance and also have good price. The rugs made of the short fibers in the Americas create a more hairy look, compared to the African sisal fibers which are longer. This difference doesn’t make the first be less resistant. It only brigs variety and gives the customer options.

Sea-grass rugs are made out of flowering plants found in the marine environment and fully saline waters. It also comes from fibers of long reed-like grasses growing in the wet areas of South Asia. The sea-grass weave is a resistant fabric with a neutral color aspect, due to the light-brown and beige hues with a green tinge. They are smooth to the touch and have a natural sheen

The traditional use of the sea-grass fiber keeps the fibers natural color (almost never dyed) and exhibits a rage of sage, soft green colors, which in time becomes brown. Thus, one of the benefits of sea-grass, the color variation abounds, -it hides the dirt well, offers durability. Sea-grass rugs have beautiful texture, long lasting durability and bring the look of nature into the homes of the costumers.
