Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Hand Tufted Rugs Philippines
1. What are hand tufted rugs, and how are they made?
Hand tufted rugs are custom luxury area rugs crafted by skilled artisans who inject high-quality yarns—such as New Zealand wool, silk, or bamboo fiber—into a canvas backing using a specialized hand-tufting gun. Once the design and pile height are completed, a protective latex backing and cloth layer are applied to lock the fibers in place, resulting in a plush, durable rug.
2. What is the difference between hand-tufted rugs and hand-knotted rugs?
While hand-knotted rugs are tied knot-by-knot by hand over many months, hand-tufted rugs utilize a tufting tool that significantly reduces production time while delivering a rich, thick pile. This makes hand-tufted rugs a far more cost-effective choice for custom high-end designs, allowing for intricate shapes, varied pile heights, and vibrant color blending without the extreme wait times or costs of hand-knotted pieces.
3. Can I customize the design, size, and shape of a hand tufted rug for my space?
Yes. Hand-tufted rugs offer unlimited creative freedom. You can completely tailor the dimensions, color palette, pile height (including high-low carved 3D textures), and geometric or organic shapes to align with your interior concept—making them a favorite choice for residential living rooms, executive suites, and boutique hospitality projects in the Philippines.
4. How do I maintain and clean a hand tufted rug?
Regular light vacuuming with a suction-only setting or low brush bar helps keep dirt from settling into the pile. New hand-tufted rugs may experience minor shedding during the first few weeks, which is completely normal for real wool fibers. For accidental liquid spills, blot immediately with an absorbent towel—avoid scrubbing—and opt for professional rug cleaning for deep maintenance.
