Are Braided Rugs as Durable as They Look?
Absolutely. When pieces of fabric are braided together in a flat braid, they become strong and durable. In addition to innovative materials like polypropylene and stain-resistant synthetics, many braided rugs manufactured today are also constructed with cords featuring an additional wool or synthetic core for extra durability. The decorative fabrics are wrapped around this core and then braided or sewn.
