Canvass rugs have been a part of our homes for so many years now. They used to be placed under the dining table and were referred to as crumb catchers. Canvass rugs nowadays have evolved to a more decorative look. Their usage is no longer limited to dining areas but can now be placed in the kitchen, entry way, patio, deck and even around the pool area.
Here are some reasons why you should opt for canvass floor cloths:
- You can customize a canvass area rug to complement the theme, design or color of your home or business.
- They can instantly add appeal to a certain room.
- They are very easy to maintain. You can use a simple wet mop or wipe to clean any surface dirt. Let it air dry if it gets wet from pool water.
- They are very affordable.
Indoor-outdoor canvass rugs are ideal for hard surfaces like stone, cement, tile and wood flooring. Avoid placing the rugs on soft and uneven surfaces to prevent the rugs from getting punctures when a dog or sharp heeled shoes steps on it.
Here are several factors that must be taken into consideration before purchasing a canvass rug:
1. See to it that the material used is a heavier weight canvass.
2. Ask for rugs with borders sewn with a hem and mitered corners. If you choose a round rug, it is ideal to use an octagonal design for a flat and smooth surface.
3. If you want one that’s easier to maintain, opt for rugs that have varnish coatings. This will also serve as a protection for the hand-painted designs.
4. Make use of a soft putty adhesive when putting the rug in place. This will prevent you from slipping over the rug.
