Pot Pourri
The look of natural sisal, but soft underfoot and far easier to live with — on display in our Clydebank showroom.

Pot Pourri is a faux sisal — a woven flatweave that gives you the natural, textured look of a sisal or seagrass floor without the two things that put people off real sisal. Genuine sisal is coarse underfoot and it stains badly, because the natural fibre drinks up anything spilled on it. Pot Pourri is a polypropylene-rich blend with a little wool in it, so it keeps the woven texture and the natural colouring while being softer to walk on and far more forgiving about spills. The eight shades are all quiet naturals — Pebble, Stone and Pumice at the paler end, Earth for warmth, and Nickel, Steel and Slate running cooler and darker. Being a flatweave it also has a slim profile, which matters more than people expect: it will often go under a door that already catches, or butt up against an existing hard floor without a big step. That solves a real problem in older houses and in rooms where floor levels don't match. Bring the measurement in and we'll check it against the actual roll rather than guessing.

Colours in this range
The seven shades below can be ordered through our Clydebank showroom, arranged from lightest to darkest. An eighth shade, Clay, is currently showing as unavailable from the mill — ring us and we'll check whether it's due back before you rule it out. Swatch images give a good guide, but the woven texture reads far better in person.
Common questions
Why is there no price on this page?
Flooring is priced per job rather than per metre off a shelf. The final figure depends on the room size and shape, the underlay you choose, whether we're lifting an old floor, door trims, and the fitting itself. Call us on 0141 266 0400 with rough measurements and we'll give you a realistic figure, or book a free home measure and we'll do it properly.
How does this compare with real sisal?
It looks very similar and behaves much better. Real sisal is a natural plant fibre — it's coarse underfoot and it marks badly, because spills soak straight in and often can't be lifted. Pot Pourri gives you the same woven, natural appearance but it's softer to walk on and far more forgiving with spills. If you've admired sisal but been warned off it, this is the answer.
Will it fit under my doors?
Very likely, and it's one of the main reasons people choose a flatweave. There's no standing pile, so the whole floor build-up is much slimmer than a tufted carpet on a thick underlay. We'd rather measure it than promise a number off a website — bring the gap under your door and we'll check it against the actual roll.
Is it soft enough for a bedroom?
It's softer than real sisal but it's still a flatweave, so it's firmer than a wool loop or a twist pile. Plenty of people use it in bedrooms and are happy; if softness underfoot is your priority, we'd show you the wool ranges alongside it before you decide.
Do you fit as well as supply?
We do. We arrange fitting across Clydebank, Glasgow and the surrounding areas, including uplift and disposal of your old flooring if needed.
