Chilewich is another brand we carry which showcases beautiful colors and patterns and makes a great waterproof flooring. Both companies are always creating new styles to go with current trends in the market. Either Bolon or Chilewich can be self bound (shown left) or left unbound (shown above.)

If any of these suggested weaves get dirty, just scrub’em with soap and water and rinse. They all will be as good as new and look great for years to come. Water sits on the surface and will not soak through.

Depending on the color weave you choose, our woven vinyl weaves look very similar to a natural product. As a matter of fact, we stumbled across Bolon over 20 years ago. Jeff was in a client’s home in Europe and questioned why they had a sisal rug in their kitchen. Their response was “this is not sisal but Bolon from Sweden!” Jeff quickly researched the company. Soon after, he was selling Bolon to his clients who had been asking for something attractive yet practical in their kitchen.

The durability of woven vinyl is fantastic. All of our waterproof flooring options are perfect for those of you needing something appealing yet durable.
