Machine Made

Machinemade rugs come in a large variety of designs, from traditional and geometric to modern and plain. Most machinemade rugs are contemporary in design. Rug sizes start at 60 cm x 90 cm and some patterns can be supplied in sizes as large as 3.0 m x 4.0 m.

Machinemade rugs are made with a variety of different materials, starting with hard-wearing everyday acrylic rugs, through to the thick, dense pile of heatset polyolefin yarn and 100% pure wool.

Quality also differs according to density of points, the denser the points the clearer the images. The thick extra-dense weave (1 - 1.5 million points per square metre) enhances the colouring and allows crisp detailing of each design.

These rugs are the cheaper alternative of floorcoverings than handmade rugs. The major countries which produce and export these types of rugs are Belgium, China, Turkey, France, Iran, USA and Egypt.
