Rugs for the UK

Each time I look at the black rugs page, the Venice rug appeals to me:

A range of 19 rugs incorporating black in both modern and traditional designs.

The last post covered wool rugs, this time we look at the synthetic alternative.

Polypropylene is recognized as the most advanced synthetic yarn employed in the floor-covering rug industry. When polypropylene yarn is heat set and twisted, and then produced in a heavy weight high density construction, it can offer an excellent resilient and very hard wearing rug surface.

Polypropylene can be dyed during the yarn production process in a totally consistent wide variety of colours all of which are stain resistant. This is an easy care yarn surface and will provide many years of wear and tear.

At Majestic Rugs we include both traditional rugs and modern rugs made with synthetic yarn - all of the highest quality, of course

Wool is a superior natural fibre which offers warmth and softness, bulk and resilience, and very hardwearing appearance retention in high density floorcovering construction. Wool yarns have natural insulating properties which reduce heat loss in the home, and also reduce noise levels, providing improved air quality for a comfortable home environment.

Wool has an inbuilt resistance to soiling due to its natural oils and the fibre structure which act as a shield against household dirt and daily spills and thrills. Wool is naturally flame resistant and because of its high moisture and nitrogen content, wool is difficult to ignite and has low flame spread and heat resistant properties. Wool does not melt or drip and has natural and unique self extinguishing properties.

Wool fibres may be dyed in the most delicate and deep colours to offer a wide variety of choice for any home, and is the natural choice for comfortable living. We’re proud of the quality of all our rugs - you can be assured that they will be of the highest standard.

Next time we’ll look at the virtues of polypropylene rugs.

This is still one of my favourite rugs, and of my 5-year-old daughter’s.

The modern Spring rug

from £69, including free delivery as always.

Definitely a rug to consider when doing the girl’s bedroom this summer.

While looking around for some ideas to share with you I came across a review for the iRobot Roomba 560 robot cleaner.  Now being a bit of a geek, this has always appealed, and it was interesting to read the variety of feedback by other “geeks” (and I use the term fondly).

It seems that such a machine would work on either carpet or wood flooring with rugs, including those with fringing, but perhaps not a good idea for shaggy rugs - and certainly not those we sell, being especially sumptuous!

So - I’ll not be buying one just yet, but definitely the price of these is now comparable with a decent Dyson or alteratives.
