Choosing a rug for your home can be like buying a ring for your fiance. It can be very overwhelming. A good quality rug is very hard to find
especially when there’s plenty to choose from and one isn't sure if he would be
paying the right price or not. Here, at rugs and beyond, one can view a huge
array of handmade carpets and rugs of fine quality at fair prices. The
collection comprises of Kashmir silk, woolen, afghan, kilims, modern and
contemporary rugs in various designs and patterns.
For a layman, it can be extremely cumbersome to figure out the
type, quality and price of handmade carpets. Handmade carpets are much more
durable than machine made carpets and are of much finer quality. The way to
differentiate between a handmade rug and a machine made rug is from its
backing. A machine made carpet would have a cloth backing and after a point of
time, it would also start smelling due to its material and composition. However,
a handmade rug’s pile and weft is hand woven and it takes several months to
weave a good quality rug.
As far as silk products are concerned, it is very crucial to
identify between a pure silk rug as opposed to a fake silk/synthetic rug. A
fake silk rug is highly inflammable and catches fire easily, even if a candle
or a matchstick is dropped accidently. Many carpet sellers try their best to
dupe customers in buying a fake silk rug and charge the price of a pure silk
rug which is almost more than double. Hence, they are known for its genuineness
and providing authentic products at fair prices.
Another way to buy a good quality rug is to identify the
difference between a single and double weft carpet. A single weft rug is thinly
woven and is less fine especially in woolen types of carpets. Whereas, a double
weft carpet is thick in quality and far more durable than a single weave rug.

For many customers, price is a big concern and they are of the
perception that they should go in for a less expensive cheap rug. However, the
key is that a handmade rug is something that can be passed on from generation’s
altogether and is an investment in itself. One should not compromise on its
quality and investing in a good quality rug is certainly worth the buy.
