For optimal performance in outdoor areas, we strongly advise using our designated In & Outdoor ranges due to the effects of sunlight and moisture. These particular products have been purposefully crafted to withstand exposure to the elements. The intense sunlight in New Zealand and Australia can significantly deteriorate fibres and lead to fading in items not explicitly designed for outdoor use. To safeguard the longevity of the products, we suggest bringing them indoors when not in use.
We have comprehensive care and cleaning instructions for our floor rug fibre types. Please visit our CARE & CLEANING page for details.
We offer a made-to-measure service on most of our beautiful floor rugs. Although we carry an extensive range of standard floor rug sizes, we understand that certain projects may require unique dimensions. Our experts are ready to assist and guide you through the process. FIND OUT MORE
Rug underlay not only prevents rugs from slipping or creeping, but can also prolong the life of a rug by stopping the rug becoming misshapen. Other benefits include providing extra underfoot cushioning, and preventing abrasion on timber or delicate flooring. See our installation guide HERE.
Loose fibres occur with most new rugs, and this is a normal characteristic, particularly with products made from natural fibres. It is caused by some of the outside fibres or yarn bundles becoming detached during early wear stages. Careful, gentle vacuuming (with low level suction along the grain of the pile) will help with removal of any loose fibres. We strongly recommend against using a turbo or brush head when vacuuming as this will create matting on shaggy rugs, fluffing on tufted and flatweave rugs, and damage to handmade floor rugs. As the rug settles, shedding will diminish.
Due to the handwoven nature of our floor rugs, you may notice that loops or ends of yarns pop up occasionally. These ends of yarn are known as ‘pop-ups’ – they are not considered a fault and are easily fixed. Follow the link below to watch our quick video tutorial on how to manage pop-ups. POP-UPS TUTORIAL.
