Just like an indoor area rug, outdoor rugs offer your outdoor living space function and style.
Stylish & Durable
Even though outdoor rugs look beautiful, they are also used for more practical reasons as well. If you don’t want your metal patio set scraping your wood deck, a rug can be a useful barrier between the two. It can also help increase the safety of your outdoor space, as a lot of wood and outdoor tiles can get slippery when wet (whether that be from the rain, pool, etc). Placing a non-skid outdoor rug down ensures you have a safe place to walk
Construction
All of our outdoor rugs are made with a UV treated yarn, and we most often use varying qualities of polypropylene in our outdoor rugs.
Polypropylene/Olefin is one of the few yarns that are suitable for both indoor and outdoor spaces. It resists mildew and moisture, soils and stains and is machine washable depending on the backing. Recent advances in the production of Olefin yarn are creating a softness comparable to Polyester. This with the natural stain resistance makes it a great choice for family rooms or areas that may see a lot of spills. Olefin is also one of the most colourfast yarns, and great for areas that see a lot of sun exposure. For higher traffic areas, looped styles like level loop or berbers are a better choice in this yarn.
