Types of Rugs


Types of rugs can be as wide and varied as the several generations weaver all over the world that honed and nurtured the art of rug making over the centuries. A Rug can be as simple as a cotton rug or an ornamentally elaborate modern rug with intricate designs and patterns. A Cowhide rug with natural print and texture can be quite different from a fluffy Grecian flokati rug. A Himalayan shaggy rug and simple woollen rug are both made of the same material and yet they can be quite different to the touch. Let’s see some of the different types of rugs that we specialize in.
Cowhide rugs are durable and can be greatly versatile with the only hazard of getting too wet. A cowhide rug can be used for anything that you wish to besides the obvious purpose of laying it on the floor of your sitting room to make it look even more gorgeous.  Our cowhide rugs are procured from Latin American merchants who are known to breed some of the best specimen in the entire world. These cowhides have beautiful patterns that are specially taken care of to preserve the natural aesthetics of the rug.
From the land of Genghis Khan comes our beautiful goatskins that are weaved into Rugs by the skilled weavers that only Mongolia has been known to produce. These goatskins are gleaned once in a while which makes them quite rare. However, we make the rarest of these and are available at our store for you to choose. In comparison, Goatskin Rugs are not too resistant to dirt and will require cleaning and care once in a while. Read our rug care section to know more about the process. One of the several types of rug that we offer is flokati rug. These are made some of the finest quality of wool. Procured from the best of Flokati rug makers of the Vlachs and Pindus mountains, these rugs are fluffy and off white that can be great material to spread on the floors of your kid’s room. We have great collection from renowned retailers specializing in a wide assortment of rugs for all occasion and purpose.

Rugs

Treading on a soft woollen rug barefoot on a winter day has been one of the pleasures
that we rug fanciers will always cherish. Rug manufacturers from all over the
world have created some of the best products in the last decade which can
safely be considered the best in the world of rugs. It goes without saying that
the rugs that were created before this were of the finest quality and has been
part of trade tales. Notwithstanding the rugs of our generation can pose a
serious challenge to the desirability of those old traditional rugs.

Traditional rugs, like those created by the Turkish masters were mostly woollen; they were
great addition to the decor of the room and also served their purpose well.
Another wonderful thing about these Turkish rugs is their great resale value.
However, one has to be on his guard while choosing a costly rug to ensure that
the material is indeed woollen and not synthetic or cotton which will
definitely lower the usability as well as the resale value. If you are looking
for a rug that has to withstand lot of wear and tear then it would be wise to
select a cheap rug made of synthetic fibre such as nylon or polypropylene.
These are readily washable and quick to dry. These also come in several colours
and replacing them will not cost you a fortune.

However, if you are looking for something that is not only of the finest and rarest
quality but something which you want your grandchildren to inherit, then you
have to make a thorough search that fits your needs. Rugs made of natural
fibres, animal or plant, will never fail to surpass your expectations. Rugs made
of wool are very durable; wool is naturally resistant to fire and is far more
tenacious than most synthetic fibres. Woollen rugs can hold on to their colours
for long periods if properly taken care of.


Cotton and jute rugs are also great value for their money but they are greatly
susceptible to wear and tear. Stains can be a cause of headache too but cotton
and jute rugs are washable and dry quickly. On the higher end of the rug
spectrum are Persian and Oriental rugs that are made of costly materials such
as silk which makes them shiny and are great items of decoration. However they
need to cleaned and taken care of by professional rug cleaners.


Whether it is a corporate wall to wall carpeting rug or a small luxurious rug in the
middle of your living room, we can help you find the perfect rug for all
occasions.
