Natural plant fibres

Material & feel: Sisal, jute, coir and seagrass each have a distinct woven texture.
For your room: Room suitability varies: seagrass is not a stair option; jute suits quieter spaces.
Care to consider: Natural plant fibres need dry cleaning methods, rather than water or steam.

Wool & Quirky pattern

Material & feel: Wool textures and expressive woven designs, including the Quirky collection.
For your room: For a runner, discuss pattern repeat, turns, landing and border together.
Care to consider: Check the cleaning and vacuum guidance for the selected construction.

Faux-natural texture

Material & feel: A woven-looking finish in synthetic fibres; Anywhere Ca-rPET uses recycled PET.
For your room: Compare with natural sisal if spills and the room setting influence your choice.
Care to consider: Use the selected synthetic range’s guidance, not instructions for natural sisal.

Alternative Flooring: your questions.

Can every natural-fibre style be used on stairs?

No. Ask about the exact product and its installation requirements. Stair suitability, edge finishing and care need checking before it is specified.

How do I compare samples at home?
