Properties of sisal
Sisal is an age-old natural fibre material that suffered a decline in use as synthetic fibres became more common. Sisal is made by drying the leaves of the sisal plant and it is a strong and durable plant fibre. The plant is native to southern Mexico.

Sisal is a rough fibre used for its excellent strength. Because of its roughness, sisal is not used to make clothing, but it can be used for many other purposes. Traditionally, sisal is used to make ropes. Sisal is strong and stretchy and has been a popular material for ropes among sailors for centuries.

Like all fibres, sisal is classified according to the quality of the fibre. There are three grading scales; high quality, medium quality and low quality. High quality sisal is used for textiles such as carpets/rugs. The lowest quality sisal is rope material.

Sisal is used to make carpets and rugs. As a carpet, sisal is durable and dirt-repellent. Sisal carpets are available in a wide range of colours. Because sisal is antistatic, it does not attract dust. Sisal is well-knowns for its use in eco-homes for the merits of biodegradability and recyclability.
