The Eco Friendly Bamboo Rugs

The word Rug is used in this volume in the following sense : "A covering for the floor ; a mat, usually oblong or square, and woven in one piece. Rugs, especially those of Oriental make, often show rich designs and elaborate workmanship, and are hence sometimes used for hangings." In several books rugs and carpets are referred to as identical. In fact most written information on wool rugs has been cataloged under the term carpets; and there seems to be good reason for assuming that the terms tapestries and carpets, as used in ancient times, were synonymous with the word rugs of the present day, for these were spread loosely on the floor without the aid of fastenings.

Bamboo Rugs fiber is a cellulose fiber fabricated from natural bamboo and other additives and is made from the pulp of bamboo plants. The fiber is regenerated from raw bamboo pulp and has high strength, good abrasion performance, good moisture regain, top drape, softness, good dyeing ability and brilliant luster.
Bamboo has high quality, and continues to look good as it wears and ages. Because of this, flooring made of bamboo fibers is one of many green flooring options. It grows quickly than traditional hard woods from trees and is 10% stronger than red wood. Besides being used as a flooring material, bamboo serves many decorative and functional purposes also. All floors, especially hardwood, expand and contract with changes in temperature. Bamboo, however, does this to a much lesser extent than traditional hardwood materials, which means it often looks better longer after installation than other types of flooring.

The most useful feature of bamboo fabric is that it has natural anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-static nature has a fantastic absorption ability that evaporates moisture very quickly. This is due to bacteriologists bio-agent named "bamboo kun" which bonds tightly with bamboo cellulose molecules during the normal process of bamboo fiber growth. It not only makes bamboo fabric germ free but also odor free.

However, all these benefits result only when bamboo fiber is produced mechanically and not chemically. Chemical processing uses solvents that destroy most of its characteristics and also affect environment and plant workers. The mechanical processing, although more expensive and time consuming retains its Eco-friendly properties.
