Today you’ll find rugs are a very popular *feature* in a home, rugs from Scattermats add a touch of style and a warm and inviting feel to any room in your house. Natural fibre or sisal rugs have gained in popularity recently thanks to them being both environmentally friendly and unique.
Sisal rugs from Scattermats are made from natural plant fibres and have a resistance that is similar to hemp or jute rugs, sisal rugs are strong and beautiful and look perfect in a hallway, living room or bedroom.
The sisal fibres come from a cactus plant called Agave Sisalana that grows in Africa and Brazil. The plant is well known for its internal fibres that make great rope and string. The fibre stalks are cut, dried and then treated to produce tan coloured lengths that are then woven into sisal rugs.
Being natural fibre sisal has some benefits over other synthetic weave rugs.
