This applies to virtually every product you buy: vehicles, your home, your furniture, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Electronics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">electronics<\/a>, clothes, and of course rugs. For some, the idea of things \u201cwearing out\u201d over time will give them pause before making a purchase. For example, we often hear the question \u201cAre Turkish <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" title=\"rugs\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\" href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/\">rugs<\/a> durable?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>In a word, yes, Turkish rugs are durable. Let\u2019s look at the three reasons why this is true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Are-Turkish-Rugs-Durable-Image-1-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Are-Turkish-Rugs-Durable-Image-1-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Are-Turkish-Rugs-Durable-Image-1-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Are-Turkish-Rugs-Durable-Image-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Are-Turkish-Rugs-Durable-Image-1-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Are-Turkish-Rugs-Durable-Image-1.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>What makes a rug \u201cTurkish\u201d?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>As you might imagine, a Turkish rug is made in the country of Turkey or regions of the world that were a part of the former Ottoman Empire. Weavers use traditional methods of weaving to create hand-woven Turkish rugs, such as a Kilim rug, which includes multiple knots in each weave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Weaving method of a Turkish Rug<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>And as an extension of that, this is one of the things that makes <a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/turkish-rugs\">Turkish rugs<\/a> durable: the weaving method. Any machine facsimile can never compare to a hand-woven double knot style of a truly authentic Turkish rug. This is one of the methods that make a <a href=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/are-turkish-rugs-durable\/\">Turkish rug durable<\/a> as it reinforces the pile and creates a far-sturdier \ufb01nal product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>The materials in a Turkish rug<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Quality matters when purchasing a rug. If you\u2019ve ever purchased a rug from a name brand, big box store, or discount warehouse, you\u2019ve probably noticed how fast the rug breaks down. This experience is why consumers often wonder \u201cAre Turkish rugs durable?\u201d It\u2019s not that they\u2019re doubting Turkish rugs. Rather, they simply have a bad taste in their mouth from lower-grade rugs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>It\u2019s all about the materials. Turkish rugs are made from high-end cotton, wool, and silk. Each of these can range in quality, which is why Turkish rug weavers utilize only the best materials. Turkish silk carpet weavers, for example, should be able to squeeze an astonishing 1,200 threads per inch. This creates a tightly woven, powerful yet comfortable walk-on rug that cannot be beaten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Are-Turkish-Rugs-Durable-Image-2-300x300.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Are-Turkish-Rugs-Durable-Image-2-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Are-Turkish-Rugs-Durable-Image-2-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Are-Turkish-Rugs-Durable-Image-2-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Are-Turkish-Rugs-Durable-Image-2-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/rugsource.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Are-Turkish-Rugs-Durable-Image-2.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Experience matters with Turkish Rugs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Finally, let\u2019s look at the weavers themselves. Those who specialize in creating them know that one of the reasons Turkish rugs are durable is purely due to the weaver\u2019s experience. As with any other trade, the more a person practices and performs their craft the better they will become at it. While apprentice weavers are by no means bad at their job, it will take them a while to fully learn and appreciate the process of weaving a Turkish rug. But once they\u2019re ready, they\u2019ll be able to create beautiful rugs with the best of the area\u2019s weavers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br>Construction method, materials, and the weaver&#8217;s experience are what make Turkish rugs durable<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As <a href=\"https:\/\/charlottenc.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Charlotte<\/a>\u2019s largest provider of international rugs, we believe in the importance of quality over quantity. That\u2019s one of the reasons that help to make Turkish rugs durable. Our focus is on working with weavers who believe in traditional construction practices while maintaining a high sense of quality with each rug they create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><br>Ready to \ufb01nd the Turkish rug of your dreams?
