SEAGRASSES are as the name suggests, grasses that grow in the seas of tropical and temperate estuaries, which are harvested, laid out in the sun to dry and then repeatedly beaten before spinning into a yarn.
Price from £11.18 sq m+vat. More...
JUTES are similar to, and often called, hessian; a long vegetable fibre, it has a high tensile strength that is ideally suited to spinning into yarns. It is the softer of the natural fibres here, with a texture akin to cotton, and whilst therefore it rates highly for comfort, it is less hard-wearing than the tougher Seagrasses and Sisals. Price from £14.34 sq m+vat. More...
Where can I put these carpets?
These carpets will add a textured durable feel to your interior and may be used in any part of the home except for ‘wet’ areas.
We do not recommend the use of seagrasses on stairs because they can become slippery with concentrated wear.
Natural floorings are very practical because they easily shrug off day to day dirt. However, to protect them against liquid spillages in particular, the carpets can treated with an intec stain inhibitor prior to dispatch.
What about an underlay?
These carpets are made from natural plant fibres and whilst they have a latex backing for added strength and to prevent dirt dropping through, the manufacturers strongly recommend fitting to a contract underlay suitable for the ‘double stick’ method to prolong the life and give it a softer feel underfoot.
