Greenville, NC, March 6, 2006--The makers of the premier names in quality hand-woven rope hammocks have now added a designer line of exclusive DuraCord outdoor rugs.
DuraCord is the answer to a long quest for outdoor durable and colorfast yarns that offer the softness of cotton.
This softness is now available in true works of art for the floor of any outdoor space. Hand-hooked by craftsmen, the DuraCord designer rugs from The HammockSource are available in a variety of motifs to coordinate with many outdoor settings or to create a unique look on their own.
The DuraCord rugs have to be felt to be appreciated. The softness is unlike any other outdoor rug on the market today. “But the attraction does not end there. The performance characteristics of DuraCord coupled with the custom designer looks, make this rug line a sure winner,” states Douglas Orians, vp sales for The HammockSource. Rugs will be available to specialty retailers in the fall of 2005 and will include 4 collections. Each collection will have multiple designs in 4 sizes. A 9’ round will be coupled with rectangular styles in 4’ x 6’; 5’ x 8’, and 8’ x 10’.
DuraCord rugs will boast the same features as the rope and the fabric including:
Easy Care--Cleaning is as simple as washing briskly with mild soapy water.
Colorfast--Long exposure to sun will not fade the vibrant colors. It is solution dyed which simply means the fibers cannot fade. The fibers were colored while still in solution form.
Fast Drying--With a 0.05 percent moisture regain, does not absorb water and therefore dries very fast.
Stain Resistant--DuraCord resists staining due to its nonabsorbent properties.
Abrasion Resistant - Other synthetic yarns do not stand up to any abrasion and are not suited for the wear of outdoor living. DuraCord® lasts under rough use.
Bleach Resistant--Bleach can be used for cleaning as it does not affect the fabric’s color.
Mildew Resistant--DuraCord is produced with built in anti-microbial blockers.
High Strength--This is a lightweight yarn with heavy -duty strength.
Environmentally Friendly--DuraCord offers an environmentally friendly alternative to other synthetic fibers as it requires less energy and water to manufacture.
