{"product_id":"colorado-runner-0c837b-light-grey","title":"Colorado Runner Light Grey","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Colorado rug is a machine-made Turkish rug that boasts a natural, jute-like appearance while also offering superior durability and ease of maintenance. Unlike traditional jute rugs, the Colorado rug is designed to be vacuumed easily and cleaned without difficulty, minimizing shedding and maintaining a fresh, polished look. Additionally, this rug is resistant to yellowing when exposed to moisture, making it a great choice for high-traffic or outdoor areas. If you're looking for a rug that brings the natural aesthetic of jute with less maintenance, the Colorado rug is an ideal option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe rate Colorado Runner Light Grey as a sound, hard-wearing choice for any room that needs an unfussy base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it looks\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe colour story matters here. Grey rugs sit quietly in a room and let the rest of the space do the talking — it's why they outsell almost everything else we carry. Up close, the construction details emerge; from across the room, the rug reads as a single restrained colour field. Photographs flatten the surface; in person, the weave reads with more dimension than any catalogue image can convey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eConstruction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom Turkey's long power-loom tradition. The Turkish weaving industry has refined power-loom production to a point where the result is genuinely close to the look of a traditionally woven rug. Polypropylene is a thermoplastic, which means stains do not bond to the fibre the way they would with a natural staple. A 10mm pile feels soft on bare feet but doesn't trap dust the way a longer pile can. Selvedges are finished cleanly so the rug sits flush against itself without curling at the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLiving with it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction is UV-stable and the fibre does not absorb water — hose it down, let it dry in the sun, and it is back in service. It will not stain the way a wool or cotton rug can — wine, juice, and pet accidents lift with a damp cloth if you get to them within a reasonable window. Rug pad underneath on a hard floor — that is the one accessory we would not skip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePicking the right size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRunners are about scale, not just length — leave at least 10cm of floor visible on each side of the runner so the hallway doesn't feel boxed in. Our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/rug-size-guide\"\u003eRug Size Guide\u003c\/a\u003e has the proportions we recommend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReliable, calm, hard-wearing — three words that describe Colorado Runner Light Grey fairly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I use this with underfloor heating?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — the pile is not so dense that it traps heat, and the backing handles the moderate temperatures typical of residential underfloor systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I cut the rug to size?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe don't recommend cutting a finished rug — the edges are bound and the construction relies on that binding to stay intact. If you need a custom size, message us and we'll see what's possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill it sit flat once unrolled?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost always within 24–48 hours. If you see any waves from the rolled packaging, lay the rug pile-up in the room and let it relax overnight — gravity does the rest. For stubborn corners, rolling the rug briefly in the opposite direction usually does it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan I steam clean this rug?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, but a hose is usually faster and just as effective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs the back of the rug latex-coated?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe backing is a standard textile finish — it sits flat on the floor and won't mark timber boards. For hard floors, we'd still recommend a rug pad to keep it from sliding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e","brand":"Austex","offers":[{"title":"80x300cm","offer_id":49693539860647,"sku":"BERLIN-0C837B-LGREY-80X300","price":229.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0474\/8011\/1271\/files\/BERLIN-0C837B-LGREY-RU_1.jpg?v=1778516418","url":"https:\/\/www.treasuresofturkey.com.au\/products\/colorado-runner-0c837b-light-grey","provider":"Treasures Of Turkey","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
