Rugs Can be Kind to the Environment Too

Thursday, September 20th, 2012

There is undeniably a “green” trend that has become popular in recent years. Consequently, environmentally friendly home accessories are becoming a bigger priority.  Natural area rugs are a great and easy way to help the environment and redecorate your home!

Eco-friendly rugs are cost effective in the long run. Most eco-friendly rugs are composed of sustainable materials such as wool, bamboo, and jute. These natural materials will ensure that your eco-friendly rug is long lasting!

Wool is absolutely the most eco-friendly and sustainable material for rugs. This is because wool is a naturally renewable resource (as sheeps grow wool year round). Consequently, using wool to make a rug doesn’t have a significant effect on the environment.  Wool is long- lasting, visually charming, and can compliment a variety of decors – making it the perfect way to enhance the eco-friendliness of your home.

There are several benefits to jute eco-friendly rugs and bamboo rugs. For example, jute is the softest of all the natural fibers. Additionally, it is an inexpensive natural fiber! Like the other sustainable materials used to make rugs, jute is also long lasting. Bamboo is also an important option to consider. A bamboo rug can add texture and character to brighten up a room.

The most important thing to research when considering an eco-friendly rug is the materials that were used to form the rug.  Keep in mind that ideally your rug will utilize materials that have a small effect on the environment and are additionally a natural renewable resource. If you choose a rug that fit this criteria, you will definitely be helping out the environment!

Bamboo Rugs

Eco- friendly rugs couldn’t be more in vogue, and a 100% natural bamboo rug is a marvelous choice to titivate the décor in your home. The bamboo rugs available at Natural Area Rugs are skillfully crafted and are sure to inspire the excitement of nature with a tropical theme.

Evidence of bamboo in archaeological finds dates back 7,000 years in a province of China. Bamboo has been a useful and diverse resource since ancient times, used in many different capacities besides flooring. Bamboo has been used as firewood and to make tiles, paper, rafts, hats, shoes, and more.

Did you know that bamboo is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records? It made the infamous record book because one variety of this grass is the fastest growing in the world. Bamboo is a 100% renewable resource, bountiful in supply.

Bamboo is one of nature’s strongest building materials, being harder and denser than most hard woods. The exceptional durability of bamboo rugs makes them ideal for high-traffic areas in your home.

One of the many exceptional qualities of a bamboo rug is that it is naturally flame-resistant. Also, Bamboo repels most liquids and is relatively easy to maintain because of its smooth texture.

Our bamboo rugs come with extra heavy non-slip dotted felt backing, which helps prevent both wear and slippage. Our bamboo rugs are framed with cotton borders, and you’ll need to choose the shade that works for you. We recommend using a Premium-Lock Rug Pad underneath your bamboo rug.

The elegant slat work of a bamboo rug results in a smooth, polished look. A bamboo rug will add unique style elements of grace and beauty to your décor.
