Outdoor rugs to the trade
Outdoor rugs to the trade: 382 styles rated for a covered patio, a loggia or a pool deck, from Couristan (136), Prestige Mills (47), Stanton (43) and Fibreworks (33). Polypropylene (263) and polyester (67) make up most of the filter, in machine woven (127), flatweave (89), hand-loomed (75) and Wilton (37) construction; 373 are made to order.
The fiber is the spec. Solution-dyed polypropylene is the only yarn that shrugs off rain, sun and chlorine; the color is in the fiber rather than on it, so it does not fade and it hoses clean. Polyester is softer and suits a sunroom that is really an indoor room. Keep the construction flat or low: a flatweave or a machine woven loop dries fast and lets a chair slide; a hand-loomed loop reads closer to an indoor wool for a furnished loggia. No pad outdoors, or a thin open-weave pad that drains; felt holds water and stains the deck.
Sizing follows the indoor rules: 24 inches past a dining table edge, front legs on in a seating group and at least 6 inches of deck showing at a railing. Indoor outdoor rugs beyond 9x12 are cut and bound from indoor outdoor broadloom to any size through the custom program. The same fibers wall to wall are at indoor outdoor carpet; sizes are in the area rug size guide, and the fiber family is at polypropylene.
