Sunbrella Indoor Outdoor Rugs

I know many of you are thinking back-to-school and the end of summer; at least those of us a bit further north than the rest of you are, but one of our favorite manufacturers has just announced a new line of indoor / outdoor rugs. This cool line of braided rugs from Colonial Mills (or CMI as we call ‘em) is made from Sunbrella yarn. Those of you familiar with outdoor fabrics and furniture have probably heard of this fiber, but now it’s available in the Renaissance Collection of braided area rugs from CMI.

Now why Sunbrella? Well, let me give you a few of the key points about this fiber. First off and I think most importantly in this era of “Reduce, Reuse and Recycle”, Sunbrella is made from 50% recycled content. The other 50% is virgin fiber to maintain color consistency through-out the various collections made from it. The other great thing Sunbrella offers with it’s fiber and what makes it perfect for outdoor area rugs is ability to be fade resistant, standing up against the hot summer sun and it also is mold and mildew resistant. This fiber is a perfect addition to the great fibers out there for outdoor rugs, especially when you see the great designs that CMI has incorporated it into.

The Renaissance Collection of area rugs is made right here in the US, in CMI’s production facilities around the eastern seaboard. It is a flat braid rug that will come in a variety of sizes including those hard to find shapes of ovals, rounds, squares and even octagons. There will be six different patterns and 12 easy to use color ways. Our staff is working diligently to incorporate these new designs and this great fiber into our collections, but I thought it was too cool to wait to tell you about it. So, now you know.

Finally, if you’re still in need of an outdoor rug, you don’t have to wait for the Renaissance Collection we have hundreds of other options on the site to take care of your needs. Sometimes we here in the northern part of the country forget that summer goes on past August and that those of you living in Florida, Arizona, California and all those other wonderful warm weather states have year round outdoor living… so, take a look a the wonderful assortment of outdoor rugs we offer on the site. And as always if you need any assistance in locating just the right rug for your application, Customer Care is just a phone call or email away.

Enjoy the rest of your summer whether it be another few weeks or another couple of months with a new outdoor area rug from Rugs to My Door.
