Materials

Choosing the right rug goes beyond design and color: the type of material is key to ensuring comfort, durability, and style in your home. We've outlined the main materials our rugs are made from. Explore their properties and find the one that best suits your needs and lifestyle.

Synthetic fibers

Synthetic fibers are materials developed through industrial processes. They are characterized by their high wear resistance, ease of cleaning, and great design versatility.

Thanks to their ability to adapt to different usage conditions, these fibers are especially suitable for high-traffic areas, humid environments, or spaces where greater durability and low maintenance are required. They also offer a wide variety of colors and finishes.

Polyester

Polyester is a plastic resin derived from petroleum through a series of chemical processes. Although the manufacture of polyester rugs is relatively new, this material is one of the most widely used in the textile industry because it can only be dyed in its liquid state, making it highly stain-resistant. Unlike wool, which is a natural fiber, polyester is synthetic. It stands out for being lightweight, moisture-resistant, quick-drying, and for mimicking the feel of cotton, making many polyester rugs very soft to the touch.

Viscose

Viscose is a type of cellulose obtained from wood or cotton fibers. Rayon, also known as viscose, is a cellulose fiber that has been dissolved and then regenerated. It is a highly versatile fiber, offering the same comfort properties as other natural fibers and can emulate the softness of materials such as silk, wool, cotton, or linen. From this definition, we can conclude that viscose rugs are very similar to wool rugs, but in this case, they are made of a synthetic material. The viscose used to create rugs has some particular characteristics: they are soft, do not irritate mucous membranes, and, at the same time, offer an elegant and sophisticated appearance. Proper treatment of the fibers gives them a special shine, giving them an appearance similar to silk.

Very fine carpets are obtained, with a height of approximately 3 mm.

They are ideal for warm climates, as they do not provide insulation against cold or heat.

They are very soft to the touch and feel like velvety carpets.

Natural fibers

Natural fibers are materials of plant or animal origin, such as wool, cotton, jute, or sisal. They are extracted and processed using methods that preserve their original properties, making them an ecological and sustainable option. These fibers are characterized by their softness, breathability, and thermal and acoustic insulation capabilities.

In addition, they provide a warm, organic aesthetic that blends easily into all types of environments. They are ideal for interior spaces where comfort is valued, such as living rooms, bedrooms, or rest areas. However, they do require specific care to protect them from moisture and wear.

Wool

Wool is a natural material obtained from the fibers of sheep, which are removed during shearing. This material has been used for centuries to make carpets, clothing, and other textiles.

Advantages

Resistance to wear and abrasion

Wool fibers are highly resilient, allowing them to return to their original shape and prevent crushing or fraying over time, unlike other fibers.

Thermal and acoustic insulation

Wool acts as an excellent insulator, both maintaining the temperature inside the home and reducing interior and exterior noise.

Fireproof properties

Wool fibers are fire resistant, as they do not promote the spread of flames.

Humidity regulation

Thanks to its hygrothermal properties, wool helps balance ambient humidity, increasing indoor comfort and reducing static electricity.

Ecological

Being an organic fiber, wool is environmentally friendly and can be recycled or reused.

Soft to the touch

Wool provides a soft feel, making it comfortable in areas such as living rooms, dressing rooms or bedrooms.

Durability

Wool rugs have a much longer lifespan than synthetic fiber rugs. If properly cared for, they can last for several decades, and in some cases, even centuries.

Disadvantages

Initial fluff

During the first few uses of wool rugs, small lint may appear due to rubbing. This is because wool fibers are discontinuous, and some strands may become loose with use. However, these lint strands are only an aesthetic problem for the first few weeks.

Difficulty of cleaning

Because wool rugs are natural fibers and more porous than synthetic ones, they can absorb more liquids, making cleaning liquid stains a little more difficult. Despite this, most stains can be easily removed with products like mild detergents, vinegar, or ammonia.

Highest price

Wool rugs tend to cost more than synthetic fiber rugs. However, it's important to consider the durability and long-term value of the investment.

Bamboo silk

Rugs made from bamboo fiber are seen as an eco-friendly decorative option and perfect for people with allergies. They do not cause negative effects on those who live indoors, do not irritate mucous membranes, and at the same time offer an elegant and sophisticated appearance. Proper treatment of the fibers gives them a special shine, giving them a silk-like appearance. This material is composed of bamboo cellulose to which special enzymes are added, giving it a silk-like appearance. Furthermore, its manufacturing process is carried out without the use of chemicals, making these rugs one of the most natural and environmentally friendly options among artificial models. The main advantage of bamboo silk rugs is their safety and low environmental impact.

They are completely safe for people with sensitive skin; they do not irritate mucous membranes or cause allergies. This is achieved because they are made from natural materials without synthetic additives.

Additionally, this type of material is highly resistant to fire and melting, ensuring the protection of everyone in the home. Bamboo rugs have a woolly texture and can come in different pile lengths.

Hair length

Short

Perfect for a high-traffic hallway; it doesn't require extensive maintenance and is easy to clean.

Average

An ideal choice for children's rooms, soft and easy to maintain.

Long

It needs more care and attention, being perfect for the bedroom

Short-pile rugs are easy to maintain and always look impeccable. On the other hand, long-pile rugs require more attention and care, but their aesthetic characteristics make up for these minor inconveniences. A bamboo rug fits perfectly into any environment and enhances the decor of any room.

Jute

When we talk about natural rugs, we're referring to those made with natural fibers, such as jute, which is the main material used in this type of product. Jute rugs have a rustic style that is appreciated in a wide variety of spaces.

This type of carpet is produced in different countries using various techniques, such as braiding, sewing, or knotting.

The technique used influences aspects such as thickness, durability, softness, and, of course, the design of each rug. Because these rugs are handcrafted from natural materials, the color of jute rugs can vary depending on factors such as the amount of sun and rain the plants receive throughout the year, the place of origin, and the harvest season. For this reason, choosing a jute rug is an excellent option, as it provides a unique piece for your home at an affordable price.

Advantages

Its sandy tones blend easily into any decor. Even the patterned rugs are very discreet.

They are cool, pile-free rugs, making them the ideal choice for summer. They don't retain heat and have the ability to regulate humidity. Despite this, they are suitable for all seasons and don't need to be removed when the weather gets warmer.

Thanks to its manufacturing process, each jute rug is a unique and original piece.

They are completely eco-friendly and biodegradable. The jute plant doesn't require large amounts of water to grow. Plus, if you decide to get rid of a rug like this, you can rest easy knowing it won't leave residue for centuries, unlike synthetic fibers.

Being an organic fiber, wool is environmentally friendly and can be recycled or reused.

Natural jute rugs are more affordable than traditional rugs.

They require little maintenance and are highly resistant to wear and tear. They're ideal for high-traffic areas, such as the living room or family room.

Wool rugs have a much longer lifespan than synthetic fiber rugs. If properly cared for, they can last for several decades, and in some cases, even centuries.

There's a wide range of sizes, shapes, and colors available, from classic beige and brown to shades like cherry, black, or even pink. Whether you need a large dining room rug or a small, round, natural rug, it doesn't matter!

Disadvantages

They don't tolerate moisture well. If you spill liquid on a jute rug, it's important to act quickly and let it dry in the sun.

They are not suitable for outdoor use, despite their rustic appearance. If wet with rain or irrigation water, jute rugs can deteriorate and rot.

The structure of the fibers requires cleaning on both sides, as well as the floor underneath the carpet.

Fibers can get caught on the paws of pets.

They are highly absorbent, which can make stain removal difficult.

Sisal

Sisal is a plant fiber derived from the agave plant and is becoming increasingly popular in the textile industry. For this reason, our brand has created several sisal rugs, known for their natural appearance and unique look.

Traditionally used in rustic decor, these rugs have been reinvented to bring a natural touch to more modern spaces.

Natural and sustainable design are reflected in these rugs, which represent important values for the conservation of our planet. In general, rugs made with sisal fibers are an excellent choice for any room in your home, as, in addition to being aesthetically versatile, they are durable, comfortable, and cozy.

This type of rug is commonly found in the homes of allergy sufferers, as its pile-free design makes it easy to vacuum, breathable, and suitable for use in homes with underfloor heating. Sisal is very durable, making it perfect for rugs in high-traffic areas. The natural fibers also provide a sense of relaxation and comfort, making this type of rug popular in living rooms and bedrooms.
