What is Sisal?
Sisal is a natural fibre extracted from the leaves of the Agave Sisalana, a succulent plant, which grows in dry, desert climates such as the plains of Mexico and other parts of the New World. Since sisal has grown in popularity for use in a variety of products, dedicated sisal farms have been established, especially in Africa and Brazil. Sisal is truly an eco-friendly option as not only is it a sustainable resource but it is also grown with minimal – if any – pesticides and herbicides, thus further reducing damage to the environment.
The fibres are from the leaves can be used in their coarse, raw state – which is more inflexible – or blended with other fibres, such as wool, to produce a softer material. Much of the raw, coarser fibres are used in the cordage industry, to make ropes and twine as sisal has in incredible durability and strength as well as the ability to stretch. In particular, its resistance to deterioration in seawater makes it ideal for use in ropes and twines for the marine industry. It is also widely used in agriculture and general industrial use. The finer, higher-grade fibre is spun into yarns and used in to provide an eco-friendly alternative to traditional carpets.
Advantages of Sisal Flooring
Not only is sisal sustainable and 100% biodegradable, it carries many other advantages as well. It is extremely hard-wearing and strong – one of the toughest in the natural plant fibre flooring range – and is also anti-static, due to its natural fibres helping to control the humidity in the atmosphere. This is a great bonus for any office settings with computers and also means that the flooring is less likely to attract dirt.
