Oversize Karastan Rugs

KARASTAN RUGS

Renowned by many for a tradition of impeccable quality and exquisite beauty, Karastan has been the world's leading power-loom rug manufacturer for nearly a century. Each Karastan rug is crafted carefully using the finest natural and synthetic fibers to provide premium softness and top-quality construction. Karastan's rugs range in style from traditional to contemporary motifs and lend sophistication to homes, offices and commercial business settings alike.

Karastan rugs first burst onto the scene at the 1930 World's Fair in Chicago. Karastan gained popularity because they did what had previously seemed impossible - their power-loomed Oriental rugs featured the flawless beauty of rugs produced by hand, at a fraction of the cost. Three years later, they created a giant version of their Kirman pattern, later dubbed the Karastan "Wonder Rug" by the public.

More than 5 million curious fair-goers were invited to walk on the Wonder Rug, leaving footprints, spilling food and grinding in stains. When it was time for clean-up, Karastan cleaned only half the rug, masterfully demonstrating how their rugs were not only beautiful and affordable, but that they could recover to their original beauty even after the heaviest use imaginable.

Most Karastan rugs hold a twenty-year guarantee from the date of purchase, but with proper care, you can expect your Karastan rug to last much longer.

Beautifully versatile materials

Today's Karastan rugs are crafted using a variety of the highest quality materials. Karastan's patented blends of acrylics, wools and nylons adds durability, crush resistance and stain protection, all while maintaining impeccable softness.

Polyester developed at Karastan's plastic bottle recycling plant is actually better quality than most rug-grade polyester fibers, with excellent color clarity and stain resistance. Fibers such as these keep the colors in a Karastan rug looking vibrant and new even after years of wear and tear. Karastan's SmartStrand is another earth-conscious, renewable fiber.

Karastan is perhaps best known for their beautiful, luxurious wool rugs, which are also their most durable. Karastan wool is all-natural, regarded for its strength, comfort and durability. On top of all that, it is crush-resistant and easy to clean.

To balance a room, it helps to blend surface textures. Offset cool surfaces such as stone, tile, or darker hardwoods, vinyls and laminates using the warm colors and textures of a Karastan rug.

Top-notch protection for families

When shopping for a new rug, it can be tempting to forego quality for a rug that is more affordable - especially for families with children or pets who are prone to accidents.

With Karastan rugs, you don't have to sacrifice either. Not only do Karastan rugs boast handmade beauty and machine-made affordability, but they're easy to clean as well. The most natural choice is wool - it deftly combats everyday mishaps with built-in stain resistance and a scaly structure that holds dirt on the surface. Vacuuming Karastan wool is easy, quick and effective.

Another bonus of laying a rug in your home is noise reduction. When children and pets are running through the home, the soft cushion of plush textiles such as area rugs can dampen, absorb and insulate sounds, keeping your space as peaceful as possible.

Environmental leadership

Karastan is seriously committed to the environment, from their responsible manufacturing processes to the use of eco-friendly materials such as wool and renewably sourced polymers in their beautiful rugs. Karastan strives continuously to develop and employ green technologies and repurpose excess ingredients in the name of environmentalism.

All Karastan wools are also Clean Air Certified, having gone through rigorous testing to meet strict emissions standards. Even better, Karastan wools have been proven to remove contaminants from indoor air, making homes healthier for breathing and safer for those with allergies.

Karastan's woven rugs last twice as long as competing tufted ones, increasing longevity by up to 200% and reducing necessary energy consumption by up to 50%. Simply put, Karastan's woven products stay out of landfills for many decades beyond other floor coverings.
