Product Insights
A dense, plush 100% virgin wool rug (2500 g/m² pile, 9mm cut) at $19/sf (low end of custom hand-tufted range) offers custom sizing without surcharge and a 10–15 year lifespan, but the latex backing degrades in 5–10 years, making it non-repairable, and requires suction-only vacuuming during an initial 6–8 week shedding period.
Verified claims
- Custom sizing
- Custom sizes are offered without surcharge, unlike most custom shaped rugs.
- Cushioning
- Dense 2500 g/m² pile (9 mm cut) and 3800 g/m² total weight provide plush, stable, warm, echo-reducing feel.
- Shedding
- Initial shedding lasts 6–8 weeks; daily suction-only vacuuming without a beater bar accelerates break-in and reduces shedding faster.
- Longevity
- Latex-backed hand-tufted construction yields 10–15 year lifespan.
- Value
- At US$19/sf, the dense hand-tufted wool is priced at the low end of the custom rug range ($15–35/sf).
- Lifespan
- Lifespan of 10–15 years under normal use, limited by latex adhesive degradation within 5–10 years.
- Pile density
- Dense 2500 g/m² pile weight gives a plush, cushioned feel and substantial underfoot presence.
- Vacuuming
- Use a suction-only head (no beater bar) for daily vacuuming during break-in.
- Wool quality
- 100% virgin wool with 9mm pile and 2500 g/m² density offers plush, resilient feel and resists pilling.
- Backing durability
- The latex backing degrades in 5–10 years, limiting the rug’s life to 10–15 years.
- Import premium
- Canadian price of 699 CAD includes a ~25% import premium over European prices.
- Cost per square foot
- Cost per ft² aligns with low-end custom hand-tufted wool rugs.
- Price per square foot
- 699 CAD works out to about $19/sf, matching the $15–35/sf range for custom hand-tufted rugs.
- Custom sizes
- Custom sizes available on request at no extra charge.
- Non-slip backing
- The rug has a non-slip backing.
- Series price parity
- The Arp's unique melded-loop design carries no cost penalty over similarly sized Element series rugs from Brink & Campman.
