Aspect	Details
Origin	Sisal is derived from the leaves of the Agave Sisalana, a subtropical plant originally from South America. The name comes from a port in Yucatan, Mexico.
Production	Fibres are extracted by soaking and pressing the leaves, then washed, dried, and spun.
Traditional Use	Historically used for ropes.
Modern Use	Now prized as a natural floor covering with strong decorative appeal for home interiors.
Color & Dyes	Natural color is creamy white. Sisal accepts dyes well, making it suitable for vibrant, contemporary color schemes.
Durability	Highly resistant to wear and rubbing, and soft to the touch.
Recommended Areas	Bedrooms, sitting rooms, corridors, stairs, offices (private and professional), stores, and shops. Not recommended for damp rooms.

Step	Instructions
Backing	Sisal coverings are available with felt backing and should be installed as per standard flooring practices.
Acclimatization	Before cutting, unfold the flooring on its future base for 48 hours to adjust to room hygrometry.
Measurement Variations	As sisal is a natural fibre, slight dimensional variations may occur. Plan for a safety margin.
Installation Method	Stretch the covering from wall to wall. Glue half of it with acrylic paste from the center to the edges, press firmly, and repeat for the other side. Cut excess along skirting boards to finish.

Aspect	Recommendation
Regular Cleaning	Vacuum frequently using a brush, but avoid rubbing aggressively.
Deep Cleaning	Perform a thorough dry clean once or twice per year, depending on foot traffic and wear.
