Advantages of Flatweave Rugs

There are places in your home where a plush rug would look very nice, but nothing beats all the benefits that flatweave rugs offer. They are versatile and they look great in practically any room in your home. Here are six of the most popular benefits that make flatweave rugs a fantastic choice in creating the perfect living space.

Easy to Maintain

If you own pets or like to entertain a lot, flatweave rugs are truly ideal for your lifestyle. No matter what kind of precautions you take or how careful your guests are, they are bound to spill a drink or two. And no matter how much you love your pets and keep them clean, there will be times when they track in dirt and make a big mess on your floor. With high pile rugs, this would be a nightmare to clean. However, if you have flatweave rugs, these little annoyances will not be a big deal. Flatweave is easier to clean than plush rugs. After proper cleaning, your rug will be good as new.

Durable

Every house has areas that get more traffic than others. Rugs in these places get trampled on every day, and they get abused. This is one area where flatweave rugs stand out. Because of the low weave, they can take a lot of beating every day and still look fabulous. Any rugs with a higher pile would not be able to maintain their appearance. While high-pile rugs will flatten out or even lose threading, flatweaves will keep on going strong day after day.

They Are Not Heavy

If you tend to move around a lot, you want to be able to pack up easily and move in an instant. This is not so easy if you have a heavy, high-pile rug, all rolled up and waiting to be carried. Some people don't even bother to take their pretty high-pile rugs with them because they are just too heavy to haul. However, if you have a flatweave rug, moving that around would be a piece of cake. You won't have to leave your nice rug behind.

Reasonably Priced

Flatweave rugs are great if you want a new look for your living space but you are on a budget. Not only are these rugs lightweight and tough, but they are very affordable. Typically, a large rug for a room costs only a percentage of what a high pile rug of the same size would cost. This is a nice, inexpensive alternative. 

They Don't Shed

One of the disadvantages of high-pile rugs is that they are shed. That's not good when you are wearing dark-colored clothing. Flatweave rugs do not shed, not even when they are subject to high traffic and constant rubbing from furniture and general usage. The flatweave fibers don't easily come out. All this means less work for you to maintain it.

Lots of Styles to Choose From

No matter if your style is contemporary or classic, bold or subtle, you can find a flatweave rug at Ground Control Rugs that will match your style. You can find geometric patterns, florals, and farmhouse style, you name it. They come in a wide range of styles, and one is sure to fit your taste. Also, since these rugs are affordable and they are lightweight, you can have several designs and rotate them periodically when you want to change your decor.

Given all of the above, look around your home and see which rooms can benefit from a new rug. You can add some warmth to a cold bedroom or spice up your dining room with a high-quality flatweave rug. Your biggest challenge now is to decide which ones you want and how many to get!
