SynSisal

SynSisal is Curran’s premier synthetic sisal line, crafted in Europe from ECONYL® regenerated nylon. Developed as a softer, more livable alternative to sisal, it captures the beauty of natural sisal through refined textures and classic colorways. With SynSisal, you can have the fibrous texture and muted aesthetic of sisal in a performance-driven weave suited for residential and commercial spaces.

SynSisal stands apart from conventional synthetic sisals through its refined design, contract-grade performance, and material innovation. As the first sisal-look flooring made with ECONYL® regenerated nylon rather than virgin polypropylene, it offers durability, fire resistance, and easy maintenance for demanding commercial interiors. Recognized by the design community, it has earned an iF Design Award 2025 and was a finalist in the 7th Annual Gray Design Awards.

Nearly a decade of development refined its yarn color and weave, resulting in a premium sisal aesthetic available as broadloom carpet, custom rugs, and modular tile. Today, it is specified by leading retail brands and award-winning hotels worldwide.

A child-friendly and pet-friendly carpet should be comfortable, durable, stain-resistant and promote a healthy indoor environment. Our SynSisal offers it all.

• Soft but tough: High-performing, 100% regenerated Nylon 6 fibers possess high-tensile strength and elasticity to retain your rug’s texture, all while feeling smooth underfoot.

• Stain-resistance: ECONYL® fibers mean your carpet will resist staining with proper maintenance, like regular vacuuming and quick attention to spills and stains.

• Low VOC: Protect everyone’s health by furnishing your home with a carpet that doesn’t emit harmful off-gases and promotes better indoor air quality with a low VOC contribution.

SynSisal’s ECONYL® fibers have built-in stain resistance and in most cases will stay stain-free and beautiful with regular vacuuming and simple spot treatments. The low-profile and tightly woven construction prevents spills from penetrating the surface, allowing for easy cleanup.

Although many spills can be treated with water, we recommend a pH-neutral cleaning system such as the James Starterset (approved for use on our SynSisal rugs and carpets). To help protect your investment, our SynSisal styles come with care and maintenance guidelines, located under the Care tab on each weave page.

Yes, ECONYL® yarns offer the same durability, cleanability, and versatility as virgin nylon. SynSisal is contract grade, low VOC, and meets commercial fire ratings.

Solution-dyed ECONYL® fibers provide UV resistance, high colorfastness, and long-term appearance retention. These synthetic sisal weaves are built to perform in high-traffic environments, from homes to hotels and offices, while maintaining the look and color of natural sisal.

Yes. SynSisal is available as broadloom for wall-to-wall installation and as modular tile for flexible layouts in both residential and commercial settings. Each style creates an expansive, refined foundation across living rooms, bedrooms, hotel rooms, retail spaces, and offices.

Proper installation is key to long-term performance, especially for flatweave broadloom. We recommend working with an experienced installer familiar with flat-woven carpet.

Stair runners must be hard-wearing, tightly woven, and slip-resistant. An eye-catching design that's easy to clean is even better. A SynSisal stair runner checks all these boxes and offers a clean, tailored look for residential and commercial staircases.

A staircase provides a wonderful opportunity to play with design and pattern. Choose Astoria’s herringbone pattern for a refined yet energetic look, or Langley’s understated tiger-eye weave for a neutral foundation. SynSisal can be installed across the full width of your stairs or fitted as a runner cascading down the middle of your staircase.

Because stair runner installation can be complex, we recommend working with an installer experienced in flatweave carpet. They can advise on material requirements and appropriate underlayment. For more guidance on ordering a stair runner, head over to our Stair Runner Resource page.

The natural color palette and refined structures found in the SynSisal line complement design styles ranging from the organic, minimalist Scandinavian style to the layered, unexpected look of eclectic design. SynSisal offers a functional and decorative solution for all.

Our SynSisal Organics offer nature-inspired shaped rugs for a unique yet graceful addition to any decor.

The ECONYL® solution-dyed Nylon 6 yarns used in SynSisal are regenerated from salvaged fishing nets, discarded carpet, and other repurposed materials. By reclaiming waste from oceans and landfills, ECONYL® reduces pollution and avoids the need for new raw material extraction.

For every ton produced, it saves seven barrels of crude oil and prevents approximately six tons of CO₂ emissions. These fibers can be regenerated repeatedly, making ECONYL® a truly circular material—often referred to as “the endless yarn.”
