Rugs that can be used indoors or outdoors!

Alfresco is an indoor and outdoor flat weave range of rugs and runners that can be used all around the home and outside too. Flat weave rugs are very thin with a textured interwoven construction that brings out spectacular design combinations. The polypropylene face yarn is extremely durable and stain resistant making this style of rug ideal for heavy traffic areas such as halls and kitchens. The properties of the design and construction also make the style of rug ideal for under dining tables and to give vitality to sun rooms, conservatories and outside, your patio.

So, what makes this an indoor and outdoor rug?

Most machine made flat woven rugs have a decorative polypropylene face, woven into a cotton and jute backing. While conventionally cotton and jute are ideal for rug manufacture, they will readily absorb moisture which isn’t the ideal solution for outside and other wet areas. The Alfresco range of flatwoven rugs is woven using durable, stain resistant, rot proof polypropylene yarns throughout both the face and backing meaning you can happily use the rug indoors or outdoors. While we don’t recommend leaving the rug out in the rain, a little moisture isn’t going to do any lasting damage.
