Fan Letter

Here at NaturalAreaRugs.com, we try our very hardest to offer the best products while providing top service; and it’s nice to hear that we’re doing a good job several times a week. We received this email from a customer after a recent purchase with us. 

 

June 9, 2006

 

You did not meet our expectations. In fact you completely blew them away. We
are not sure if we have ever been this satisfied with a purchase. The
product was better than we expected. It came in less time than expected. It
arrived during a rain storm and was so completed protected by unbelievable
packaging that it was perfectly dry. The cost was about what we had been
expecting to spend but again the quality was superior in every way to what
my wife had been looking for. We would not hesitate in recommending your
company to anyone. My wife is a Real-Estate broker North of Boston and she
just can't stop singing your praises. In a world where just good enough is
the norm you have shown that doing something better than expected is not a
lost cause.

 
Sincerely,
 
Phil and Carolyn Sheehan

Need Help Choosing a Size for Your Area Rug?

So, you’ve finally found the perfect area rug that is sure to add an interesting design element to your space--but you don’t know what size it should be.  But don’t worry, the experts at Natural Area Rugs are here to help.  First and foremost, the size of the rug should always be determined by the look you are trying to achieve.  Each size rug creates a different effect so it is important to select the one that looks right to you.

However, in some situations there are guidelines that should be followed.  It is important that the chairs, when pulled out from the dining room table, remain on the rug.  This not only contributes to the design, but also helps reduce the wear on the rug caused from the pulling the chairs back. It is also a rule of thumb that the sofa should not be completely on the rug.

Find the perfect area rug for your room or order a custom-sized rug—either way your space will be a reflection of you!

Survivor: Natural Area Rugs - Flooring to the Extreme

I knew that our natural fiber rugs could withstand a decent amount of abuse, but this recent letter from a customer is a true success story. Take a look:

 

I bought my 9x12 several months ago. I have since had three floods in my house (Dallas) and each time I dragged my rug outside and dried it out and dragged it back in. The remarkable thing is that my rug is still perfect. No harm was done despite the abuse it suffered. Thank you for such a great and sturdy rug!

 
Oh, and did we mention our rugs are durable?

Tips From the Pros: Modern Flooring Alternatives

From Archway Press


It’s called building your “dream home” but sometimes it can become a nightmare. Everyone’s heard the stories of builders installing the wrong this or that, or just plain not following the plans properly. In a project of any kind there are always bound to be mistakes, how many and how bad mostly depends on you. Early planning can save you a lot of headaches and money too. With your house building plans in hand, you can start picking out colors, fabrics, cabinet styles, appliances, bathroom features and other special or custom items early. One of major decisions will be deciding on flooring. Think of your floors (and walls) as the canvas on which you will place your colors and shapes (furniture). You will want your plan to be versatile and a reflection of you.  By exploring new ideas for your residential floor plans  create a tasteful and comfortable environment and save money too.

 

Carpeting is the most popular type of floor covering today. It however, ages the fastest and requires the most care. And, you can never be sure if it is clean. Do yourself a favor and look at what’s available in contemporary flooring before you just settle for carpeting. Explore the wide range of wood, laminate or tile flooring. There are great products created for beauty as well as easy upkeep to fit every budget.

 

The current trend in environmentally safe products is affecting the flooring market too. Buyers want natural products that are non-toxic, durable and environmentally friendly. Natural fiber rugs such as jute, sisal and natural grass fiber are anti-static and made from all natural fibers. They are also top choices for long wear and style. They are the height of fashion on wood or tile floors and most importantly, they can be spot cleaned or completely removed for cleaning. Highly collectable, area rugs will give years of service and you will never have to worry about what’s really beneath your feet.

Bindings on Carpets at Natural Area Rugs

Natural Area Rugs offers a few different kinds of bindings on their sisal, seagrass, and mountain grass rugs. We also offer jute, bamboo, and wool rugs that have a 3” mitered-corner, blind-stitch binding (jute has no binding).

The simplest binding style is the top-stitch. It is so called because the stitch is made on top of the binding, and can be seen in plain view. The top stitch binding is usually made showing 1¼” on each edge of the rug

Modern area rugs, custom rugs, and accent rugs can be crafted with either the top-stitch or blind stitch binding. The blind stitch is sewed so that the thread is not visible, and the binding is wrapped around the edge of the carpet. The blind stitch is a little more elegant as the threads are not visible on the binding.

The blind stitch can also be made with mitered corners. To anyone unfamiliar with building techniques, mitering is the process by which two separate perpendicular pieces are bound together at an angle. Blind stitches and mitered corners require much more effort than the top stitch. The blind stitch can be made with anywhere from ½” to 3” of the binding showing on the edge of the area rug.

All of Natural Area Rugscarpets made overseas are manufactured with a 3” blind-stitch binding with mitered-corners.

State of the Art Packaging Techniques Used at Natural Area Rugs

 Shipping our sisal, seagrass, jute, bamboo, mountain grass, and wool rugs has been very smooth due to our unique, intense packaging system. Most contemporary rug customers receive their orders in the exact shape that it left our warehouse despite the brutality that packages sometimes receive during the shipping process.
 
The process works like this:
 
Each rug is wrapped around a heavy-duty cardboard tube so that no part of the rug will get squished or bent in a harmful manner. We use different size tubes for each of our natural rugs.
 
After the rug is rolled into a cylinder, the ends of the carpets are wrapped with 1/4” to 1/2” thick foam. This protects the binding and prevents damage on the ends—where most of the damage occurs during shipping. The foam is held in place with plastic film that is rolled around the ends of all our modern area rugs.
 
The entire carpet roll is then covered with plastic stretch wrap and fit into a 6mm-thick plastic bag (much heavier than any standard garbage bag). The manufacturers also insert silica gel packets in with the natural rugs to keep moisture from ruining the natural fibers as it travels overseas. Finally, two or more carpets are packed in a tough polypropylene woven bag.
 
No other natural rug dealer secures their goods as extensively—which results in very few complications due to shipping that Natural Area Rugs has to deal with. This allows us to continue to be a leader the natural floor covering industry.
