Flatweave rugs aren’t just great seasonable pieces because they can be easily removed and replaced. They can also have a beneficial effect on the temperature inside your space that can last all throughout the year. People have been using rugs for insulation for centuries. And like all rugs, flat woven rugs can help to insulate a room, keeping heat in and utility costs down during the colder months of the year. But unlike heavier rugs, which can continue to trap heat in the summer as well as in the winter, most flatweave rugs are made of a light and breathable cotton that traps less heat in the warmer months, which can keep your favorite room from becoming too hot to spend time in.
