Natural fiber flooring is a great, easy-care choice for those who don't want to worry constantly about maintaining their flooring. Sisal, seagrass and mountain grass are all interesting choices and come in a variety of textures and hues.
- Sisal is created from the fleshy leaf fiber of the Agave sisalana plant. The fibers are spun into a heavy-duty yarn to create durable, long-lasting carpeting and rugs. Sisal is naturally a yellow-beige color but readily accepts dyes and paints.
Seagrass flooring is created from salt marsh grass and is less expensive than sisal. It can be woven into a variety of patterns, including herringbone and basket weave. The material is naturally anti-static and is a good flooring choice for allergy sufferers because it resists dust and dirt.Mountain grass is similar to seagrass in texture but the dryer growing conditions result in a deeper shade of brown. It can also be woven into different patterns.
