Rug Size Guides
As you shop for a rug, you’ll find that there are many different ways that rugs are made. Hand-made rugs like tufted area rugs are widely known for their great quality, but they are also quite affordable, versatile, and durable. These rugs are popular for those features alongside unique designs, but there are many questions to be answered before you decide that a tufted area rug is the right option for your home.
Tufted rugs are crafted with a tufting gun, which shoots yarn through a backing frame. The yarn then creates a loop at the front and back of each shot. In some tufted rugs, the tops of the loops are cut to create a plush pile. After the rug is completely tufted, a backing is added to the rug to keep the rug from unraveling and to provide a nice, clean surface to rest upon your floor. This method of constructing rugs has a history dating back to 5 BC, although the method did become far easier with the invention of the tufting gun in 1930. Throughout the long history of the rug, quality natural materials like wool and cotton were the most popular options for hundreds of years. In today’s market, these rugs feature these materials alongside synthetic fibers like polyester and polypropylene.

There are three common types of tufted rugs. Each variation is crafted with the same method of using a tufting gun and backing, but the finish of the threads and piling is what sets each option apart.
There are many advantages to using tufted area rugs inside your home. One of the greatest perks is how durable these rugs are. With their intentional craftsmanship and backing, these rugs are durable enough to withstand heavy foot traffic and daily life. They’re also available in many different designs, colors, and patterns to suit any interior design style. Finally, since tufted rugs are not hand-woven or hand-knotted, they are far more affordable than these other options. Machine-tufted rugs are even more affordable than hand-tufted rugs, which gives you great freedom in choosing which type of tufted rug to include in your home.
With any rug, it’s important to take steps to care for the rug to ensure its cleanliness and longevity. Regular vacuuming is the most standard way to care for the rug, since it will remove dirt and debris from the rug and rejuvenate the rug’s fibers. If the rug is faced with an unexpected stain or spill, these areas can be treated quickly with spot cleaning, home-made solutions, and commercial cleaners to remove the blemish. It is important to look at your rug’s specific care instructions and material to ensure that you use the best cleaner on your tufted rug.
If there is deep set dirt or stubborn stains, then you may also take your rug to a professional to clean it. Professional rug cleaners have the knowledge, skills, and solutions to give your rug the best cleaning possible and avoid damaging it. You may call upon these cleaners when your rug is in dire need of cleaning or periodically to care for the rug.
The easiest way to tell if a rug is stuffed is by looking at the rug reverse, beneath the attached backing. With that, you’ll see the looped fibers that were shot through the rug’s framing canvas. You’ll also notice that many of these rugs have a fringe added to the rug through gluing or sewing it to finish the carpet.
Tufted rugs will last different periods of time based on their material and how much traffic they face. For example, tufted rugs made of wool are extremely durable and may last up to 20 years. Aside from the rug’s material, the quality of the glue attaching the backing to the rug also impacts its longevity. The stronger the adhesive, the longer the rug will last.
