showroom to see the latest in fashion and style!
There are a variety of area rugs and
each has their own characteristics. Flat weave,
hand-knotted, hand-tufted hand-hooked and machine-made
are the primary categories.
Flat Weave : This rug is
constructed without a pile. Colored weft yarns are woven
through warps to create the pattern. Some varieties of
flat weave are kilims, dhurries and soumaks. Needlepoint
is another type of flat weave that is made by weaving
the colored yarns through a pre-made scrim.
Hand-Knotted : This rug is
constructed with fine threads of colored yarn that are
hand-knotted through a warp/weft backing and then
sheared to create a pile. Two varieties of actual knot
styles are Persian and Turkish.
Hand-tufted and Hand-hooked :
These rugs are produced with a tufting gun that works
like an oversized sewing needle. It pushes and pulls
threads of yarn through a scrim – a pre-woven grid
foundation. With a hooked rug, the loops of yarn are
left intact to form a knobby loop pile. In a tufted rug,
the tops of the loops are sheared to expose the thread
ends for a softer and plusher cut pile.
Machine-made : In this process,
the rugs are woven on mechanical looms. There are many
types of mechanical looms, each with specific
capabilities as to the type of design and textures it
can create.
Merida's endless customization options
offer the freedom to personalize your rug through size,
shape and finishing. Our extensive and diverse
collection of bindings includes more than 300 choices of
color and material, from cotton twill and smooth linen
to luxurious leathers. Our workroom can also finish a
rug with your material to create a floor covering that
matches your interior design.
We take great pride in providing you
with a beautiful and unique product, and look forward to
helping you delight your clients with the workmanship,
thoughtfulness and beauty of a Merida product.
Rug Tips**
- If possible, buy the rug first and make it your
focal point, then dress the area with furniture.
- If space permits, the furniture should sit on
the outskirts of the rug, not on top of it.
- Rotate area rugs periodically to minimize the
wear and tear to any one part.
- If furniture lies on the rug, try to
occasionally move everything one or two inches in
order to keep it from permanently crushing the
carpet fibers and leaving depressions in the rug.
