Polypropylene rugs
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 rugs
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.
A blog about rugs?
Having worked with Majestic Rugs for a number of years now, I do have the odd (!) thought about rugs. And this is perhaps the ideal way to build a useful resource about anything to do with rugs. Let’s give it a go…
Perhaps the most topical, for those of us in the northern hemisphere at least, is what to do about fire sparks landing on the rug. And I know just the person to ask…
