Custom area rugs

Do you know how much it take effort to make a single custom design rug? Certain things are fixed whether you make one rug or 100 rugs. We have done some projects for hotels, villas, residential apartments, and have noticed the change in trend. At one point one ask for faded look where the design at some places are smerged with the base. I mean when you look at it, you will say hey look he has missed weaving that particular area of rug, on the other side, you will find the client who wants everything to look sharp. So may it be antique look custom rug or solid look custom rug, everything moves, it depends, what your client is looking for.

Rugs and carpets for hotels

Hospitality Rugs or say Rugs for hotels has to pass certain parameters, which has to be taken care while manufacturing of rugs, or say before packing. The major one in this segment is fire retardant or Flame retardant. This means that when the fire falls on the rug or carpet on floor, the fire will not be spread.

We have certified chemicals where after use of which this is totally safe from the pile material that the fire will not spread.

When we talk in terms of the other issues, it is density of the rugs or carpet, its pile height.

Other important factor is the foot traffic on the rug. Whether the rugs laid are suitable for low traffic, medium traffic or high traffic? This issue is directly related mainly with the Fibre length of the carpet.

It is also important to note the yarns being used for the rugs for hotels. Are you using wool for your rugs or carpets or viscose (artificial silk), or silk or any such othr natural and man made fibre. Please make note that every yarn has its own different properties and strength to absorb the foot traffic.
