What is a tufted rug?
A tufted rug is a type of rug made by punching yarn through a fabric backing with a tufting gun to create the rug’s design. The yarn is then secured in place with a secondary backing, making it durable and long-lasting.
How durable are tufted rugs?
Tufted rugs are highly durable and can last for years with proper care. The quality of materials and craftsmanship also play a role in the rug’s longevity. I use only commercial grade glues, primary backing and secondary backing fabrics to ensure your rug will last indefinitely even in high foot traffic areas.

What materials are used in tufted rugs?
I use high-quality 100% acrylic yarn to create my tufted rugs. You can choose from a variety of yarns depending on the texture, color, and feel you want for your rug. Commercial grade glues are used to hold all the yarn in the primary cloth. An anti slip secondary backing is used to make sure your rug doesn't slide around on any surface.
Can tufted rugs be used in high-traffic areas?
Yes, tufted rugs are durable enough for high-traffic areas. However, for heavily used spaces, I recommend trying to avoid lighter colourways in your rugs as this will require most frequent cleaning.
Do tufted rugs shed?
Some shedding is normal for tufted rugs, especially when new and they are still setting. This will reduce over time with regular vacuuming and proper care. it is only ever one little piece of yarn out out thousands of strands. Please do not pull on the yarn, trim if necessary.
Can I wash my tufted rug?
It’s not recommended to fully wash tufted rugs at home, as they are backed with adhesive that can break down when soaked. Spot cleaning and professional rug cleaning are the best ways to maintain them.
