Find HS Code and trade information for runner rugs

Runner Rugs

Runner rugs are narrow, rectangular rugs, significantly longer than they are wide. They are designed to be placed in hallways, entryways, alongside beds, or in kitchen aisles.

Material

Runner rugs are produced in a wide variety of materials, each offering distinct characteristics:

• Wool: Durable, naturally stain-resistant, soft underfoot, and provides good insulation. Generally more expensive.
• Synthetic Fibers (Polypropylene, Polyester, Nylon): More affordable, stain-resistant, and suitable for high-traffic areas. Often resistant to fading and moisture.
• Cotton: Soft, relatively inexpensive, and easy to clean, but less durable than wool or synthetics.
• Jute/Sisal/Seagrass: Natural fibers offering a textured look. Durable but can be less comfortable underfoot and more difficult to clean.
• Blends: Combinations of materials (e.g., wool and synthetic) to balance cost, durability, and comfort.

Purpose & Function

• Protection: Protect flooring from wear and tear, scratches, and spills.
• Safety: Provide traction to prevent slipping, particularly in hallways.
• Aesthetic: Add color, pattern, and texture to a space, enhancing décor.
• Noise Reduction: Absorb sound, reducing echoes and creating a quieter environment.
• Comfort: Provide a softer surface underfoot, especially in frequently walked areas.

Usage Scenarios

• Hallways: The most common application, providing a central strip of protection and style.
• Entryways: Welcome guests and contain dirt and debris.
• Kitchens: Placed in front of sinks or along countertops to provide comfort while standing and protect floors from spills.
• Bedrooms: Positioned alongside beds to provide a soft landing for feet.
• Stairways: Placed on stair treads for safety and aesthetic appeal (often secured with stair rods).
• Landing Spaces: Define areas at the top or bottom of staircases.

Common Types

• Traditional: Often feature intricate patterns, rich colors, and a classic aesthetic. May be hand-knotted or machine-made.
• Modern/Contemporary: Characterized by geometric designs, bold colors, or minimalist patterns.
• Oriental/Persian: Hand-knotted rugs with distinctive floral or geometric motifs. Typically made of wool.
• Washable: Designed for easy cleaning, often made of synthetic materials or with special backing.
• Outdoor: Constructed from durable, weather-resistant materials like polypropylene.
• Non-Slip Backing: Feature a rubber or latex backing to prevent sliding.
• Braided: Made from woven strands of material, offering a textured and casual look.
• Kilim: Flat-woven rugs with a distinctive geometric design, often made of wool.
