REVOLUTIONARY . . . |
| DuraCord® fabric is constructed of man-made yarn that has been augmented with ultraviolet inhibitors and anti-microbial enhancements to prevent degradation from outdoor exposure. It is virtually indistinguishable from cotton but as durable as polyester. DuraCord® is the answer for cotton-like softness and durability for the outdoors. The backings of our DuraCord rugs are also 100% synthetic. DuraCord® Outdoor Rugs are the only outdoor rugs that can make this claim. |
- Mildew resistant.
- Colorfast; the sun will not fade the vibrant colors in this fabric.
- Stain resistant due to its nonabsorbent properties.
- Cleaning is as simple as washing with soapy water and a garden hose.
- Bleach can be used for cleaning this fabric as it does not affect the fabric's color.
- Fast drying.
- Abrasion resistant.
- Environmentally friendly; requires less energy and water to manufacture.

| INNOVATION . . . |
| Previously, the thought of indoor/outdoor brought to mind visions of astro-turf or matted golf carpet to be applied to outdoor surfaces; but hopefully never to come in contact with anything but the bottoms of ones' shoes. The old indoor/outdoor concept has been revolutionized with the introduction of synthetic yarns such as DuraCord®, with outdoor durability or performance yarn and the hand or feel of cotton-like softness. This durability is coupled with custom designs to accommodate lounging even on our outdoor floor surfaces. Sprawling on the floor has always been the most comfy "seat" inside the house. Now this option is available for outdoor rooms. From sunrooms to decks to patios, rugs are being designed to provide comfort and beauty of design while boasting weather resistance and fade resistance. Outdoor surfaces, previously cold or hard now can be dressed to complete an inviting al fresco entertainment area. |
| VARIETY . . . |
| A vast array of styles for outdoor decorating has been designed to complement and coordinate with the long-lasting outdoor fabrics used in everything from furniture cushions to hammocks. The same
color trends used today in interiors including pallets of neutral taupe to brights woven into intricate tapestry designs can be found in these durable floor coverings. These outdoor rugs also come in a variety of sizes from as small as 4' x 6' to as large as 8' x 10'. Round styles are available for complementing an outdoor dining set. |
| CONSTRUCTION AND CLEANING . . . |
Just as in any home products, differences in constructions for outdoor products can provide varied benefits and ultimately varied pricing. Outdoor rug designs are available in hand hooked or machine made constructions. Craftsmen work on a pre-imprinted canvas to hand-hook the synthetic yarns into the premier designs for the rugs. These result in an added softness also. Due to the crafted construction, these rugs normally are found at a higher price than those constructed by machine.
Machine construction produces a tight weave for greater detailing. With either construction, the use of durable, performance yarns is key to the long outdoor life for the rug. With these yarns, cleaning is also easy. A mild detergent and thorough rinsing with a garden hose will remove most soil. Due to the color-fastness of the yarns, stains can be treated with a solution of part water and part bleach.
