The rugs are designed to perform in a wide variety of outdoor placements and offer high resistance to humidity, sunlight, mildew, and ocean or pool water. Constructed from man-made fibres the rugs are water-repellent, tear-resistant and fast-drying. These stable and maintenance-friendly properties make the rugs equally suitable for use in interior environments. The polypropylene is solution-dyed, reducing water, dye, and energy consumption in production, requiring no additional performance chemicals and ensuring colour fastness.
Reminiscent of designer Margrethe Odgaard’s childhood memories of the textured appearance of sisal rugs, the Sia Outdoor rug incorporates the simple yet refined details of traditional rug making. Featuring a plain multicoloured surface, horizontal stitching creates a subtle shaded stripe pattern.
The surface is crafted from braided ropes, assembledusing a stitching technique that ensures a smooth, flat finish. This technique both enhances the durability of the rug and keeps it lightweight. Suitable for medium to heavy interior and exterior use in residential or commercial spaces, Sia Outdoor can be ordered in round, oval or odd shapes.

A steel tumbler with rubber studs rolls freely in a rotating drum and wears the surface of the test samples inside of the drum. After 5.000 and 20.000 turns the sample is examined and rated by five inspectors based on the changes in its surface structure and colour.
Rugs that meet the minimum requirements of the test are rated from 21 (worst) to 23 (best) for residential use and 31 (worst) to 33 (best) for residential and commercial use.

Flame retardant performance depends on the type of foam used. There are differing requirements concerning the flame-retardancy of textiles dependent on the area of application, country or even region. Our textiles pass the majority of international standards and are also tested for a selection of regional requirements.

LightFastness {{site.selectedConfiguration.lightFastness}}
ISO 105-B02
Lightfastness relates to the ability of a textile to retain its colour under light. When testing for lightfastness, samples are exposed to artificial daylight for a specified period.
The evaluation scale ranges from 1 (worst) to 8 (best). An increase of one point corresponds to a doubling of the lightfastness, i.e. the same fading takes twice as long.

Regular cleaning is important in order to keep the rug looking its best and to prolong its life. Dust and dirt wear down the rug and also reduce its fire-retardant properties.

Stain removal
Remove stains immediately. Place a clean, wet cotton cloth and leave it on the stain until it has absorbed it. If needed, dab the stain by working from the edge of the stain inwards. Do not rub to remove the stain. Bamboo viscose Do not walk on or rub a wet bamboo viscose rug, as this will damage the structure of the yarn. It will take a few days for a bamboo rug to fully dry. Silk rugs Every stain, including plain water, should only be treated with soda water. Vinegar or tap water should never be used. We always recommend professional cleaning of the rug when necessary.

Regular care
Kvadrat rugs are made with care to last. To make sure your rug maintains its vitality and character over a long lifetime, it helps to take good care of it. We recommend vacuum cleaning your rug at least once a week using a vacuum cleaner set to medium power without applying a brush. Always vacuum in the direction of the pile. Please also rotate the rug frequently to prevent wear and fading in the same place. Ideally, the humidity in the room where the rug is located should be around 50%. If humidity falls below 40%, we recommend spraying your rug with water to avoid the yarn to become dry and brittle.
