A rug is a must-have floor accessory. It adds warmth and a sense of coziness to any room, helps trap dirt and other debris so it doesn’t get into carpeting or hard flooring and gives rooms a pop of color, texture and personality.
It’s easy to take rugs for granted, especially when they are rolled up and put away for cleaning. But a good rug is an integral part of your décor and makes a big difference in the comfort of your home or office. It also catches dust and other debris before it falls on furniture and floors, protecting your expensive carpeting.
Rugs have been a status symbol and level of refinement since Marco Polo introduced them to Europe at the end of the 13th century. Today, rug enthusiasts are from all walks of life. Regardless of their level, though, the one thing they have in common is that they appreciate the craftsmanship and art that goes into making a quality piece.
Tufting is the technique used in machine made rugs. The woven backing is inserted with needles that are bonded to the backside of the fiber with latex. Tufts are then sheared to create a smooth cut-pile surface. The shearing also gives the rug its characteristic sculptured look and minimizes tracking. This process is also referred to as surface shading or abrash. The shading is due to localized distortions in the tufts or loops of the pile yarn. The effect can be created with a combination of varying ply and fiber type. It can also be achieved with space dyeing (adding pigment to the synthetic fiber in a pellet form before it is extruded as filament yarn).
