The fibre is extracted from the long spiny leaves of the Agave Sisalana plant. The strong thin sisal fibres are white in colour. The fibres are dyed to the required colour. We usually fit our sisal over a superior quality underlay or rubber lay. Sisal by be used in conjunction with under floor- or under-carpet heating.
Jute comes form the Jenus Cochorous plant which grows in the hot humid climates of Asia. The jute plant grows into tall cones up to 3 metres in height. At harvest time, the fibres are separated from the wood core of the plant. Jute is a fine natural fibre best suited to areas of the house such as the sitting room and bedrooms rather than the high traffic areas. It’s a very soft natural fibre.
Sea grass is sourced from perennial grass of saltwater marshes. These plants are mature to the monsoon climates of the Pacific basin. The reeds are thick and rigid. The non-porous skin is smooth to the touch and gives a slight natural sheen. Sea grass is fitted over a rubberlay and cannot be used in conjunction with under floor-or under-carpet heating.
Paper is extremely durable and very versatile floor covering. Woven form spun paper, made from the pulp of coniferous softwoods, it is very strong and has resin added during the spinning process to increase the moisture resistance of the fibre. Paper is fitted over a rubberlay.
Coir is the course fibre obtained from the husks surrounding the seed of the coconut palm. The fibrous husks are soaked in nets in slow moving water to swell and soften the fibres. These fibres are spun into yarn before they are woven into broadloom carpets. Coir is fitted over a superior quality underfelt and can be used in conjunction with under floor- or under-carpet heating.
This product is a mixture of Sisal and pure new wool.
