Product description

Vintage is a unicoloured, hard wearing kelim, hand woven with fine woollen yarn. The rug’s nuanced colour gradations, which have an abrash character, are created by treating the dyed wool with a special washing technique. It is available with same coloured, cross coloured and naturally coloured fringes, and without fringes. The colour palette has a natural expression, rotating from timeless sun-bleached notes towards more saturated colours, inspired by natural dyes and spices.

Performance
  • Traffic Suitable for moderate to medium residential and commercial use with exceptions of stairways, corridors or with the use of castors

    A steel tumbler with rubber studs rolls freely in a rotating drum and wears the surface of the test samples inside of the drum. After 5.000 and 20.000 turns the sample is examined and rated by five inspectors based on the changes in its surface structure and colour.

    Rugs that meet the minimum requirements of the test are rated from 21 (worst) to 23 (best) for residential use and 31 (worst) to 33 (best) for residential and commercial use.

  • Fire tests ASTM E 648 Class I • JIS L 1091 B • ASTM E 662 • ASTM D 2859/CPSC FF 1-70/FF 2-70, 16 CFR 1630 • EN 13501-1 Bfl-s1

    Flame retardant performance depends on the type of foam used. There are differing requirements concerning the flame-retardancy of textiles dependent on the area of application, country or even region. Our textiles pass the majority of international standards and are also tested for a selection of regional requirements. 

  • LightFastness {{site.selectedConfiguration.lightFastness}}

    ISO 105-B02

    Lightfastness relates to the ability of a textile to retain its colour under light. When testing for lightfastness, samples are exposed to artificial daylight for a specified period.

    The evaluation scale ranges from 1 (worst) to 8 (best). An increase of one point corresponds to a doubling of the lightfastness, i.e. the same fading takes twice as long.

Care and maintenance

There are many things you can do to take good care of your rug and ensure it maintains its vitality and character for as long as possible.

  • Stain removal

    Remove stains immediately. Do not rub to remove the stain, this may cause irreversible damage to your rug. First, place a clean cotton/microfibre cloth and leave it on the stain until it has been absorbed. Then place another, clean damp cotton/microfibre cloth on the stain and leave it there until it’s dry. Do not lift the cloth until it has dried completely. If the stain is still visible repeat the treatment with the damp cloth or carefully water the stain and absorb the water again with a cotton/microfibre cloth. If needed, dab the stain by working from the edge of the stain inwards. Allow the rug to dry thoroughly, front and back. We recommend using only water and no washing detergent or chlorine bleach. We have had very good results with this method, however Kvadrat cannot guarantee that this method will remove all stains. Specific care instructions for rugs made from bamboo viscose, lyocell, silk, jute, linen, hemp, and polypropylene are available in the Important Characteristics tab.

  • Regular care

    Regular cleaning is important to keep your rug looking its best and to prolong its life. Please vacuum your rug regularly, ideally once a week, to prevent any soiling from staining or damaging it. Dust and dirt act like sandpaper when walking on the rug, wearing it down over time. We recommend using a vacuum cleaner set on low to medium power without applying any brush. Always vacuum your rug lengthwise and in the direction of the pile. If you have a robot vacuum cleaner, please check with the manufacturer if it is suitable to use on your rug. The rug should be rotated from time to time to avoid abrasion on one spot. Repeated friction on the same spot can change the structure of the rug.
