This is the real thing rather than a lookalike, and that distinction matters. Sisal is a natural plant fibre, spun and woven into a floor with a texture and a depth of colour that synthetic imitations get close to but never quite match. It has an architectural quality — it reads as a considered, organic surface rather than as carpet, which is why it turns up so often in interiors magazines and in rooms where the floor is meant to be part of the design rather than a backdrop to it. The collection runs three weaves. Small Bouclé is the finest and most even, a small looped texture that behaves like a quiet neutral. Herringbone brings the classic V pattern into a natural fibre, with more visible direction and structure. Tygris is the boldest of the three, a pronounced weave for a floor that's meant to be noticed. Being straight about the trade-off, because it matters: natural sisal is firmer underfoot than wool and it does not like liquid. The fibre absorbs spills quickly and marks can be permanent, so it belongs in a hall, a study, a dining room or a bedroom rather than anywhere prone to accidents. If you love the look but want something more forgiving, ask us about Pot Pourri — it's the faux sisal version and it lives with family life far better. Part of the Floors by Lewis Abbott collection, distributed by Likewise Floors.

Weaves and colourways
Eight colourways across the three weaves. Availability moves around, so ring us on 0141 266 0400 and we'll confirm what's in stock before you settle on one. Natural fibre also varies a little between batches — that's part of the character, but it's another reason to see the real thing rather than a screen.
Small Bouclé — the finest, most even weave
Herringbone — classic V pattern with visible direction

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.
Is real sisal a practical choice?
In the right room, yes — it's tough and it wears extremely well. But we'd be doing you no favours by glossing over the weakness: sisal is a natural plant fibre and it absorbs liquid fast, so spills can mark permanently and it can't be cleaned as aggressively as a synthetic. It's a poor choice for a kitchen, a family dining room with young children, or anywhere with a damp problem. In a hall, a study or a bedroom it's superb.
I love the look but I've got kids. What else could I have?
Pot Pourri. It's a faux sisal — a woven flatweave that mimics the texture and natural colouring but in a polypropylene-rich blend, so it's softer underfoot and far more forgiving with spills. Most people can't tell the difference across a room, and it's the honest recommendation for a busy house.
Is it scratchy underfoot?
It's firmer and coarser than wool — that's the nature of the fibre. Small Bouclé is the gentlest of the three weaves and Tygris the most pronounced. If you're planning to use it in a bedroom where you'll be barefoot, come and stand on the samples before you commit rather than taking our word for it.
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. Natural fibre needs a fitter who knows how it behaves, so it's worth having us arrange it rather than sourcing a fitter yourself.
