Sisal
Sisal is tough and is known for producing the best quality rope. The product is invariably dyed, as its natural colour is a pale straw. Different basic weaves include Panama – Basket Weave, Herringbone – Broken Twill or Ribbed – Boucle and these in turn each have many variations. The product is versatile and suits many interiors and furniture from antique, 1930’s through to contemporary décor. The perception is that it is hard underfoot but the new “tiger-eyes” weave is as soft as some of the alternative materials. Sisal provides excellent noise attenuation and insulation in modern houses and will withstand underfloor heating used in low energy houses.
Seagrass
Natural Floors has both seagrass squares and matting. Seagrass has a ‘waxy coat’ and although allowing water molecules to enter, dyes and other stains have difficultly penetrating hence it is durable and shrugs off stains. As it is not able to be dyed it relies on the fibres natural colouring including beiges, greens and browns. The rustic nature suits farms and beach houses. It is often used in tenanted houses where a tough alternative to plastic carpets is required. Seagrass is versatile and can be used in domestic to light commercial sites. Perhaps often overlooked as one of the more practical alternatives – it is definitely worth considering. Seagrass requires a flooding of sea water during the crop cycle, hence the name.
Jute
Jute, also known as hessian, has been extensively used over hundreds of years for string, grain bags and wool packs. Jute has a new home in floor coverings and other uses. It is one of the softer natural products suited to bedrooms and other low traffic areas. Energy use is minimal and more importantly, the product locks up carbon for its life as a floor covering. No glues, dyes, oil or commercial factories are required for this product. Along with coir, seagrass and sisal it is one of the few truly green natural floor coverings available today.
Coir
Coir is made from the husks of coconut and has been used for centuries to make ropes, sacks and floor coverings.
Coir floor coverings make excellent surfaces, as they are non-skid, anti-static, hardwearing and excellent for noise attenuation.

Abaca
Abaca is an exclusive range of products now on offer from Natural Floors Melbourne. Abaca fiber, indigenous to the Philippines and obtained from the abaca tree, is also called Manila hemp plant (it is part of the banana family) and is considered the strongest of natural fibres. Traditionally used for craft material and cordage because of its strength and great resistance to salt water decomposition, it is more widely used now in specialty paper manufacturers such as currency notes and pulp.

We have a wide product range to choose from starting from thick woven area rugs for light to medium traffic area to flat woven wall to wall carpeting for heavy traffic areas.
