Sisal Sea Grass

Summary Sisal Sea Grass

Sisal Sea Grass is a natural seagrass carpet roll for rooms where you want a calm, smooth and earthy floor. The surface is flat and slightly waxy, the tones are natural, and the look sits somewhere between pale green and straw. It is one of the quietest natural floors you can choose. There is no loud pattern, just fibre and light.

It sits in our natural carpet range, and the fibre is 100% seagrass, not sisal. The two look different and care differently, so this page spells out exactly what you are buying. We supply the roll from Al Quoz, cut it to your room and fit it wall to wall. If you want, a fitter comes and measures first.

What seagrass is

Seagrass flooring is not cut from the sea. The fibre comes from a salt-tolerant reed that grows in flooded coastal fields, mainly in Asia. The stalks are dried in the sun for several weeks, spun into yarn and woven onto a backing.

The reed carries a natural waxy coating. That coating gives the fibre a slight sheen and helps it shrug off light spills. It also means seagrass takes dye poorly, which is why the colours stay in natural tones instead of the wide palette you see in sisal. Small shade changes from one stalk to the next are normal, and they give the floor its character.

How it feels underfoot

Seagrass is smoother and flatter than sisal. It is firm rather than plush, and firmer than a wool carpet, so think of it as a quiet, hard-wearing surface for the whole room and not a soft pile. If you want cushion, add a rug where you sit or stand barefoot.

Using it in Dubai homes

Seagrass suits a calm, air-conditioned home, with a few local points worth knowing.

• Air conditioning. A steady air-conditioned room is the right home for seagrass. It dislikes standing damp, and very dry air can make any natural fibre brittle over time, so keep it out of the direct path of a vent.
• Sun. Seagrass usually mellows from green toward straw as it ages, and strong sun through glass speeds that up. Blinds or sheers on sunny windows slow it down.
• Dust and sand. A smooth surface is easy to keep clear. Vacuum once or twice a week and put a deep doormat at the entrance.
• Ground floors and villas. Concrete slabs can hold moisture. The subfloor must be dry, flat and clean before the roll goes down.
• Pets. Accidents soak into the backing and the smell is hard to remove, so seagrass is not the best choice for puppies or elderly pets.

Where it fits best

• Living and dining rooms. Calm, neutral and easy to vacuum. Put felt pads under chair and table legs.
• Bedrooms. A quiet natural surface. Add a soft rug beside the bed for bare feet.
• Entrance halls. Fine with a deep doormat to stop grit and moisture at the door.
• Home offices. Light use is fine. Rolling chairs are hard on the surface, so use a chair mat, or look at our office carpet options for a busy workplace.

Where not to use it. Bathrooms, laundry rooms, kitchens beside the sink, balconies and stairs. Standing water can swell seagrass, leave mould and strip its colour, and the waxy surface can be slippery on a stair edge. For outdoor spaces, see our outdoor carpet options.

Sizes, cutting and fitting

Tell us your room size and we cut the roll to fit. A fitter can visit to measure first. Seagrass is normally glued to the floor, so the subfloor has to be flat, clean and dry, and the roll is usually left in the room for a day or two to settle before it goes down. It is then aligned before any adhesive is spread, so the seams stay tight and the weave runs straight.

See how a full-room fit works on our wall-to-wall carpet page.

How to care for it

1. Vacuum once or twice a week. Use the lowest brush height or suction only, because a tall beater bar can chew up the surface.
2. Dab spills at once. Press a clean, dry cloth on the spill, working from the edge toward the middle. Do not rub.
3. Keep water away. No steam cleaner, no wet shampoo, no mop. Moisture swells the fibre and weakens the backing.
4. Protect the surface. Use a doormat, wide felt pads under heavy furniture, which can leave lasting dents, and a chair mat under office chairs.
5. Slow the colour change. Close blinds or sheers at midday on sunny windows.
6. Ask before you scrub. For a stubborn mark, message us a photo before you try any liquid or spray.

Why order from Sisal Carpets Dubai

We are based in Al Quoz 1st, Dubai, and the same team advises, measures, cuts and fits. That means one conversation instead of three. We can send a sample to your home or office, so you can judge the tone in your own light, which matters most with a natural colour you cannot dye or change.

Sisal Sea Grass FAQs

What is Sisal Sea Grass? 

Sisal Sea Grass is a carpet roll woven from 100% natural seagrass. It has a smooth, flat, slightly waxy surface in natural tones. We supply, cut and fit it across Dubai for dry indoor rooms.

Is Sisal Sea Grass made of seagrass or sisal? 

It is 100% seagrass. The name places it in our natural range next to our sisal carpets, but the fibre is a different plant. Seagrass is smoother and copes better with spills, while sisal is rougher and comes in more colours.

Is seagrass carpet waterproof? 

No. The waxy coating helps it shrug off a light spill for a short time, but standing water can swell the fibre, weaken the backing and leave marks or mould. Dab spills at once and keep it out of wet rooms.

Can I use it in a bathroom, kitchen or on a balcony? 

No. These rooms get too wet for natural seagrass. Keep it to dry indoor rooms, and ask us for a better option for wet areas and outdoor spaces.

How do I clean seagrass carpet? 

Vacuum once or twice a week on a low brush setting, and dab spills straight away with a dry cloth. Never use steam or a wet shampoo machine. For a stubborn mark, message us a photo before trying anything.

Does seagrass change colour? 

Slowly, yes. It usually mellows from green toward straw with age and light. Blinds or sheers on sunny windows slow the change. Small shade differences between stalks are normal from day one.

Can I put it on stairs? 

We do not recommend it. The waxy surface can be slippery on a stair edge. Ask us about a stair carpet made for the job.

Is it good for pets and children? 

Children are fine on it if spills are dabbed quickly. Pet accidents are the problem, because liquid soaks into the backing and the smell is hard to remove, so it suits homes without puppies or elderly pets best.

Can Sisal Sea Grass be cut to my room size? 

Yes. Send us your measurements, or ask for a visit, and we cut the roll to fit your room.

The cost depends on your floor area, the fitting and the state of the subfloor. Send your room size on WhatsApp at +971 56 580 4804 and we reply with a written quote.
