Sisal is traditionally used in rope making and the same qualities of strength make it ideal for floor covering. Durable and hardwearing, it is also immensely versatile and can be woven into an extraordinary range of styles and patterns. Grown in Brazil and East Africa, sisal is the leaf fiber of the plant AgaveSisalana. The fibers are extracted by crushing the pulpy leaf and then are washed, dried and graded before being spun into yarn. Sisal also takes color well and can be dyed.

 
The quality of sisal floor covering depends on the origin of the sisal and sophistication of the manufacture. European - manufactured sisal are traditionally top of the range, using the best East African fibers. Sisal from Brazil is exceptionally strong. Sisal is recommended for any area in your home, except bathrooms and kitchens.
