Seestoff

Fluffy rugs made from…  

  • recycled fishing nets

  • recycled carpets

  • recycled waste

  • and with a fleece backing (you guessed it)
    recycled plastic bottles

Econyl®

This is reclaimed nylon yarn (polyamide) and as you probably know, it means a very special soft fluffy touch experience!

The material for this is obtained from many sources and all of them are waste. And we think that's a good thing, because these are not just old carpets, but also discarded fishing nets.

And everyone knows what bad things they can do if they are not disposed of properly. We are working against that, because thanks to Econyl® there is an incentive to use these plastic products as raw materials instead of simply throwing them away.

Adding to it: Eco-Fusion-Back

And because that alone is not enough for us, the soft pile made of Econyl® is supplemented with a carpet backing made of robust fleece.

This in turn consists of 100% recycled plastic (PET) bottles and gives  Seestoff additional strength and weight.

In addition, it also increases walking comfort, as well as impact sound and room reverberation insulation.

Umbuck instead of humbug

In order to offer this low pile the perfect optical transition into its surroundings, we use the complex "Umbuck" process for the edging of sea fabric carpets. To achieve this, the floor is sheared down at the edge of the carpet and then bent around and fixated. Shearing prevents the edge from becoming too thick. The rest of the back is covered by fleece.

The "Umbuck" edge and the fleece give this carpet a special strength.
