Sisal
is the hardest wearing of all the natural floorings
made from the leaves of the Agave Sisalana plant; a sub-tropical spiky plant related to the cactus very closely woven due to the fine stranded nature of this fibre allowing fine texture accepts dyeing well giving the best range of colours of all the natural fibres inherently anti-static - vacuums well and is relatively unabsorbent, ideal floor covering.
Grown in Brazil and East Africa, Sisal is a fibre which is obtained by crushing the leaves of the Sisalana Algave plant and then separating the resulting pulp. It is washed, dried and graded before being spun into yarn. Used in ropemaking, the same qualities of strength make it ideal for floorcovering.
