basket weave rug

Most basket weave rugs are machine-made (power-loomed). Product descriptions commonly use terms like “Loomed,” “Power Loomed,” “Machine Made,” or simply “Woven.”

Basket weave rugs are offered in natural seagrass blends (noted in some listings as ~90% seagrass with polyurethane accents) and in synthetic polypropylene (100% polypropylene), depending on the style.

Indoor seagrass styles typically have a latex backing and may include a polyurethane border. Indoor/outdoor polypropylene styles generally list a 100% polypropylene backing.

Natural seagrass styles highlight pet-friendly and non-toxic features and typically recommend using a rug pad. Indoor/outdoor polypropylene styles add weather-, fade-, water- and stain-resistance, plus colorfastness and quick-dry performance.
