SIZE AND DIMENSIONS
LAMP SHADE SHAPES
Surya’s lamps are listed in two dimensions—width and
height (W x H).
“WIDTH” always refers to the widest part of the lamp. In
most cases, the width will be taken from the shade, since the
lamp shade is typically wider than the base.
“HEIGHT” refers to the height of the lamp when
assembled—from the bottom of the base to the top
of the finial. Surya’s lamps range in height from 26"
to 42" (table lamps) and from 62" to 74" (floor lamps).
Lamp widths range from 11" to 18".

CONSTRUCTION GUIDE
HAND-KNOTTED
HAND-TUFTED
COST*: $500 to $4,200
COST*: $300 to $500
MANUFACTURING TIME**: 4 to 6 months
MANUFACTURING TIME**: 2 to 4 months
Hand-knotting is the most intricate, labor-intensive rug weaving
process in use today. A higher number of knots per square
inch typically translates to better quality. A complex pattern can
require very dense knotting and takes a long time to produce.
An average weaver can tie about 3,000 knots per day.
Generally less expensive and easier to construct than handknotted rugs, hand-tufted rugs are made using a hand-operated
tool to punch strands of wool or other fibers into canvas
stretched on a frame. After tufting, the rug is removed from
the frame and a backing is applied. Bindings may be attached to
the edges of the rug to add strength and prevent unraveling.
DURABILITY: Guest room is typically 5 to 10+ years
depending on use and a public space is typically 2 to 7 years.
DURABILITY: Guest room is typically 2 to 10 years depending
on use and a public space is typically 3 to 5 years.
SHEDDING: Sheds less than a typical hand-tufted rug.
HOW TO IDENTIFY: Individual knots are visible on the
back of hand-knotted rugs, making it possible to see the
overall pattern and colors used on the rug’s surface. Weaving
and knots will be slightly uneven. The fringe of a handknotted rug is an extension of the rug’s foundation.
*Cost is based on a 5' x 8' rug size.
**Manufacturing time on all rug construction types includes: spinning and
dyeing wool, weaving, finishing and transportation.
HAND-KNOTTED WEAVING
HOW TO IDENTIFY: An adhesive is used to attach a
canvas material (backing) to the back of hand-tufted rugs to hold
the yarns together. Tufted rugs typically have a cut pile surface,
although some designs have both loop and cut pile combined to
add a dimensional effect to the pattern.
CUT PILE SURFACE
LOW

SHEDDING: Sheds initially, subsiding over time. Degree
of shedding depends on wool quality and rug density. Less
expensive hand-tufted rugs shed more than higher end handtufted rugs.

HAND-HOOKED
HAND-LOOMED SHAG
COST*: $200 to $800
COST*: $200 to $800
MANUFACTURING TIME**: 2 to 4 months
MANUFACTURING TIME**: 2 to 4 months
Hand-hooked rugs go through the same process as hand-tufted
rugs. Tufted rugs, however, have a cut pile surface, while hooked
rugs feature a looped pile surface. Often, rugs will combine
both techniques.
Hand-loomed shag rugs are made on hand-operated looms with
hundreds of plush, twisted and slightly felted yarns. A team
of weavers uses a long steel rod to shoot the fibers across vertical
strings that run the length of the rug. Each fiber can be as
long as 6".
DURABILITY: Guest room is typically 2 to 10 years depending
on use and a public space is typically 3 to 5 years.
SHEDDING: Sheds less than hand-tufted rugs, subsiding
over time.
HOW TO IDENTIFY: Similar to hand-tufted rugs, an
adhesive is used to attach a canvas backing to the back of handhooked rugs to hold the yarns together. The surface pile of a
hand-hooked rug will appear looped (rounded).
*Cost is based on a 5' x 8' rug size.
DURABILITY: Guest room is typically 2 to 10 years depending
on use and a public space is typically 3 to 5 years.
SHEDDING (WOOL): Moderate shedding for an extended
period, subsiding over time.
SHEDDING (POLYESTER): Minimal shedding.
HOW TO IDENTIFY: Identifiable by a deep pile, giving it a
shaggy appearance. May or may not have a canvas backing.
**Manufacturing time on all rug construction types includes: spinning and
dyeing wool, weaving, finishing and transportation.

COST*: $200 to $600
COST*: $200 to $600
MANUFACTURING TIME**: 2 to 4 months
MANUFACTURING TIME**: 2 to 4 months
Often referred to as dhurries or kilims, flatweave rugs are woven
on a loom, rather than knotted. They are typically constructed
from wool, cotton or synthetic materials. In most cases, the
pattern on the front of the rug can be viewed clearly from both
sides, making these rugs reversible.
Hand-loomed wool rugs are constructed on hand-operated
looms by a team of weavers who use a long steel rod to shoot
fibers across vertical strings that run the lengths of the rug.
In this construction, rugs can be all cut pile, cut-and-loop pile
or all loop pile. In some cases, the rug may be hand-carved
to accentuate texture and design.
DURABILITY: Guest room is typically 2 to 10 years depending
on use and a public space is typically 3 to 5 years.
SHEDDING: Moderate shedding, subsiding over time.
REVERSIBLE: Can extend rug life by flipping the rug.
HOW TO IDENTIFY: Because they are woven rather than
knotted, flatweave rugs do not have a tufted pile, which gives
them their “flat” appearance when compared to other rug
constructions. The design of a flatweave rug typically appears
the same on the front as on the back.
FLATWEAVE CONSTRUCTION
SHEDDING: Moderate shedding, subsiding over time. Degree
of shedding depends on wool quality and rug density. Less
expensive hand-loomed rugs will shed more than higher end
hand-loomed rugs.

not have a canvas backing.

MACHINE-MADE
INDOOR/OUTDOOR
COST*: $100 to $400
COST*: $100 to $400
MANUFACTURING TIME**: 2 to 4 months
MANUFACTURING TIME**: 2 to 4 months
Machine-made rugs are produced by large machines that
have hundreds of spindles of fiber that are mechanically woven
into a thin mesh backing. The machine runs continuously to
optimize efficiency. A computer dictates the pattern, minimizing
the chance for error.
Indoor/outdoor rugs are made solely of synthetic fibers—
including olefin, polyester, polypropylene and PVC (polyvinyl
chloride)—that have been infused with UV inhibitors to
minimize fading. These rugs are mold- and mildew-resistant
and can withstand up to 500 hours of direct sunlight.
DURABILITY: Guest room is typically 2 to 5 years depending
on use and a public space is typically 1 to 2 years.
DURABILITY: Guest room is typically 2 to 5 years depending
on use and a public space is typically 1 to 2 years.
SHEDDING: Machine-made polyester rugs will not shed.
Since most rugs of this type are made from synthetic fibers, the
pile will crush with heavy traffic.
SHEDDING: None
HOW TO IDENTIFY: As with hand-knotted rugs, the rug
pattern and colors are visible on the back of these rugs. However,
a coarse latex backing is used to secure the fibers in place. The
back of a machine-made rug will look very uniform and even
(in contrast to the back of a hand-knotted rug, which will have
slightly uneven knots).
HOW TO IDENTIFY: Indoor/outdoor rugs can be handhooked or machine-made and typically have a latex, rubber or
vinyl backing, which enables them to withstand the elements.

NATURAL FIBER
HAIR-ON-HIDE
COST*: $100 to $400
COST*: $700 to $2,000
MANUFACTURING TIME**: 2 to 4 months
MANUFACTURING TIME**: 2 to 4 months
While not a true construction, natural (plant-based) fiber rugs
possess their own unique characteristics. They are constructed
of tightly woven fibers such as bamboo, cotton, jute, linen,
seagrass and sisal to create a casual and relaxed look and feel.
The fibers are often bleached or dyed to increase design options
and aesthetic appeal. It is important to keep in mind that, as
with other rugs, placing natural fiber rugs in direct sunlight
several hours a day can result in the fading of dyed materials and
gradual darkening of undyed fibers. Natural fibers can be blended
with other fibers to create a multitude of design options.
Hair-on-Hide rugs are hand-crafted of natural hides to
create a myriad of designs. They may be dyed in a number
of colors, or the natural coloration may be used. Due to
the innate differences among hides, subtle variations in dye
lot, color and pattern can be expected. Brands and other
markings add character to hide rugs—making each a oneof-a-kind piece to create a truly authentic look.
DURABILITY: Guest room is typically 2 to 4 years depending
on use and a public space is typically 1 to 2 years.
SHEDDING: Very minimal.

SAMPLE PROGRAM & COLOR
SAMPLES
We understand that the purchase of an area rug is an investment.
Surya offers a sample for every rug design, eliminating the
need for our customers to stock inventory while simplifying
the rug selection process for consumers. Samples enable
consumers to clearly view the color, texture and pile height of
a specific rug prior to purchase, helping them to feel more
confident in their rug choice and MINIMIZING THE NEED
FOR RETURNS.
• A rug’s colors can also vary depending on the angle at
which the rug is being viewed. For instance, when looking
at one end of the rug, you will see the flat surface of the
fibers reflecting light. From the opposite side, you will see
the trimmed end of the fibers, which reflect light in a
very different way.
Available samples include:
• 18" Corner Sample—True-to-scale representation of the
corner of a 5' x 8' rug design
• 6" Swatch—Provides an ideal way to assess rug color
and texture
• Sample Blanket—Includes samples of a rug in multiple
colorways; well-suited for comparing rug colors and
evaluating texture
• 2' x 3' Sample—Scaled down version of a 5' x 8' rug,
providing a convenient way to view the complete rug pattern

ABOUT RUG COLOR
It is important also to convey to consumers that HANDMADE
RUGS ARE MADE BY ARTISANS AND ARE ONEOF-A-KIND PIECES. As such, they may have subtle color
variations due to the inherent characteristics of natural fibers and
dyes. If a customer is looking for an exact color match, machinemade rugs are typically more uniform from rug to rug.
While the Surya catalog and website provide an excellent guide
for evaluating a rug’s design and general appearance, SAMPLES
PROVIDE THE BEST WAY TO ACCURATELY
EVALUATE COLOR. Following are some things to keep in
mind when evaluating rug color:
• Some fibers are more reflective than others and, depending
on the lighting in the room in which the rug will be
placed, the rug may appear lighter or darker than it does in
product photography. For example, a viscose rug will
have more sheen and light-reflective properties than a natural
fiber rug, and color will vary more when the rug is placed
in different environments.
18
SURYA HOSPITALITY 2014
Surya uses the PANTONE TPX COLOR GUIDE
when assigning colors to its products. Pantone TPX colors
provide a standard “language” that is understood by
designers around the world, helping to ensure consistency
and accuracy when referring to color.

CARING FOR OUR PRODUCTS
COMMON RUG CHARACTERISTICS
All of Surya’s rugs are handmade by skilled artisans, or in a
specialty manufacturing facility, and are checked to ensure
that they meet quality standards prior to shipment.
We stand behind our products 100 percent and will always
accept the return of defective merchandise. However, to
avoid unnecessary returns, there are common issues inherent
in our products that need to be explained to consumers
when they are purchasing a rug. The issues below are not
considered defects and, therefore, are not valid reasons for
returning a product.
COLOR
No two handmade rugs are the same, which is part of their
intrinsic appeal. Slight color variations are common for
handmade rugs, as dye lots may change over a period of time.
For the same reason, a rug’s color can vary slightly from
the color of the sample since the sample was created at an
earlier time. See page 18 – ABOUT RUG COLOR – for
additional rug color considerations.
SHEDDING
All wool rugs will shed. Shedding will subside over time,
depending on traffic and wear. It typically takes 20-25
vacuums, at a minimum, to curtail shedding. Some rugs will
shed for the lifetime of the rug. Hand-knotted rugs will
shed less than hand-tufted rugs, and higher end hand-tufted
rugs will shed less than lower end hand-tufted rugs.
SPROUTS
FADING
If exposed to direct sunlight, rug colors typically fade over time,
even if they are fade-resistant. On sunny days, it is recommended
to use window shades or curtains to reduce sun exposure. Rugs
in areas exposed to sunlight should be rotated at least every six
months to minimize fading.
WEAR
As a general rule, rugs of all materials and constructions
should be rotated at least every six months to evenly distribute
wear and extend the life of the rug.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
OF AN AREA RUG
Area rugs are one of the easiest ways to freshen the look, color
and style of a living space. Like any investment, a rug must be
cared for properly if it is to last. Following are tips for extending
rug life.
HOW TO VACUUM A RUG
Canister vacuums without beater bars are the optimal type
of vacuum to use on rugs. Brooms and manual sweepers
are also a gentle and effective way to clean rugs. Powerful
bagless vacuums are not recommended, as they use high
suction, which can pull out threads from the back of a rug
and create “sprouts.”
• Use the hand-held attachment to vacuum a rug,
whenever possible.
Loose fibers that extend from the top of the rug, or “sprouts,”
are a normal part of the break-in process of handmade rugs.
To remove sprouts, use a small pair of scissors to snip them off
even with the rug pile. Do not pull out the fiber, as this can
cause the rug backing to deteriorate.
• If a hand-held attachment is not available, make sure to
turn off the vacuum’s beater bar, as it can pull fibers
from the face of the rug and cause the rug to fuzz. If the
beater bar cannot be turned off, set it on the highest
position possible before vacuuming. Then, carefully place
the vacuum on the rug.
CREASES
• If the rug has serged (finished) edges, refrain from
continuously running the vacuum over the edges, as
this will loosen fibers around the edges and cause
them to deteriorate.
If a rug has been rolled or folded for shipping, it may include
creases. Creases should disappear within a week or two when
the rug is laid out flat. Reverse rolling the rug overnight with
the pile to the outside will help to expedite crease removal.
ODOR
Rugs recently removed from a bag may have an odor. Odors
are caused by dyes, yarns and shipping for long distances in
sealed wrap. Most odors dissipate within a week once the rug
is removed from the shipping wrap.
• Avoid running the vacuum over the fringes at the ends of
the rug, as fraying may occur. Use the hand-held attachment
to clean the fringes.
• If a rug is reversible, make sure to vacuum both sides.
This will remove grit and grime that can prematurely wear
out the rug.

HOW TO CLEAN A RUG
• Clean spills immediately. Once a stain is set, it becomes much
more difficult to clean. Surya’s Rug & Fabric Stain Remover
can help to eliminate many stubborn stains.
• Never rub a spill, as this forces the spill deeper into the
rug. Instead, blot the stain with a clean white cloth.
• For wool rugs, use lukewarm water to remove any residual
stain, as wool is more prone to bleeding and staining
than synthetic fibers.
• Always use clean water to remove any remaining cleaner
and dry towels to absorb any residual moisture.
PROFESSIONAL CLEANING FOR A HANDMADE RUG
• Always use a professional, and reputable, area rug cleaning
expert. Cleaning a handmade rug requires a process different
than cleaning wall-to-wall carpet.
• Inspect the rug with the rug cleaning expert prior to
cleaning. Get a signed receipt and guarantee of work before
the work is performed.
CLEANING GUIDELINES FOR RUGS
WOOL* AND SYNTHETIC FIBER RUGS
• With a dry cotton towel or white paper towel, blot the stain
as much as possible.
• Scrape off any food or debris with a dull instrument.
• Mix a very small amount of dish soap with a cup of cold water.
With a clean sponge and soap mix (avoid using excessive
water), gently remove the remainder of the stain and then blot
the area with a dry towel.
*Avoid excessive heat or agitation, as wool rugs are more prone
to bleeding and staining than synthetic rugs. We recommend
using a professional rug cleaner on an annual basis.
INDOOR/OUTDOOR RUGS
• With a dry cotton towel or white paper towel, blot the stain as
much as possible.
• Scrape off any food or debris with a dull instrument.
• Mix a very small amount of dish soap with a cup of cold water.
With a clean sponge and soap mix, remove the remainder of
the stain. Allow the area to dry.
• For all-over cleaning, spray the rug with a mixture of soap
and water and rinse with a garden hose.
NATURAL FIBER RUGS
• Natural fiber rugs (Jute, Seagrass, Sisal) inherently have
loose fibers and knots. Regularly vacuum rug on low power
setting, making sure to vacuum from different angles.
22
SURYA HOSPITALITY 2014
• Loose threads on the face of the rug should be trimmed
with household scissors. To avoid unraveling or damaging the
rug, threads on the rug’s face should never be pulled.
• Spills should be blotted gently with a clean, undyed cloth
to absorb as much of the spill as possible and prevent
spreading. Work from the outer edges of the spill towards the
center. If applying cleaning solvents, test on a small area
first. For stubborn stains, use a professional cleaning service
that specializes in wool rugs. Do not dry clean the rug,
as strong cleaning chemicals may damage or fade the rug.
SHAG RUGS
• Spray extraction (along with use of a wool-approved product
for wool rugs) can be used to clean shag rugs.
• Shedding is normal for wool shag rugs and decreases
over time. Do not pull yarns out, as this may result in damage
to the rug.
• Canister vacuums without a beater bar are most effective in
cleaning shag rugs. Vacuums with beater bars and/or brushes,
or those set too low, may damage the face of the rug.
HAIR-ON-HIDE
• To clean a hair on hide rug, simply shake out the hide, use
a manual sweeper, or vacuum it using a hand-held attachment.
If a hand-held attachment is not available, turn off the
vacuum’s beater bar or, if that is not possible, set the beater
bar on the highest position.
• While a hide’s natural oils help to resist staining, spills should
always be wiped up as soon as possible by lightly blotting
the area of the spill. If a stain should occur, use mild soap,
lukewarm water and a soft brush to very gently rub in
the same direction as the grain of the hair.
• Professional cleaning on an annual basis is recommended.
RUG STORAGE
Proper rug storage is crucial to prolonging the life and beauty
of a rug. The ideal storage location is a room that is cool and dry
and where blinds or curtains block natural light. Rugs should
never be stored in attics and basements, as these areas typically
lack climate control, and temperature and humidity can vary
significantly. In addition, rugs should not be stored directly on
the floor since carpet beetles in particular are attracted to the
area between the floor and the back of a rug.
• Storage areas should be cleaned periodically to remove dust
and discourage insects.
• A rug should always be rolled with the pile facing in.
• Heavy objects should never be placed on top of a rolled rug,
as this can crease the rug and damage the backing.
CLEANING GUIDELINES FOR PILLOWS,
POUFS AND THROWS
STAIN REMOVER SOLUTIONS
Many of Surya’s pillows and poufs include removable covers
for convenient cleaning. Following are tips for extending the life
and beauty of Surya pillows, poufs and throws.

SPOT CLEANING
• All spills should be attended to immediately. Once a stain is
set, it becomes more difficult to clean.
• Never rub a spill, as this forces the spill deeper into the fabric/
material. Instead, blot with a clean white cloth.
• On wool items, use lukewarm water, Surya Rug & Fabric Stain
Remover or a wool-approved cleaning liquid to remove any
residual stain.
SILK: Spot clean or dry clean only
• On synthetic fabrics, use Surya’s Rug & Fabric Stain Remover
to remove grease and stubborn stains.
VISCOSE: Spot clean or dry clean only
• On natural fiber, use lukewarm water to remove any
residual stain.
WOOL: Spot clean or dry clean only
*NOTE: Never machine wash a sequined, embellished,
beaded or embroidered pillow or pouf cover. Always spot
clean or dry clean.
• Always use clean water to remove any remaining cleaner, and
dry towels to absorb any residual moisture.

MICROSEAL & SUSTAINABILITY
MICROSEAL
MicroSeal has withstood the “test of time,”
dominating the aviation industry worldwide for over 25 years.
This exclusive and highly regulated industry contains the most
expensive fabrics in the world.
MICROSEAL RESISTS SOILING AND STAINING: Soil
remains on the fiber surface. This allows for easier, faster and
more efficient cleaning, thus reducing labor and cleaning costs.
Since soil and stains remain on the fiber surface, they are more
easily removed. MicroSeal’s benefits also include reduction in
sun fading (by nearly 100% on many fabrics), mildew, static
electricity, smoke density and flame spread.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY: The EPA has rated
MicroSeal’s carrier as “GRAS” (generally recognized as safe).
MicroSeal’s protectant is medically rated “non-toxic and nonallergenic”. The entire MicroSeal formula is biodegradable.
MicroSeal does not contain any water. Therefore, it cannot
promote shrinkage or color change. MicroSeal has an indefinite
shelf life, so it can be stored and used year round under variable
climatic conditions. VOC compliant and certified
PENETRATOR, NOT A COATER: No raking necessary.
Wicks clear through to the backing. Even wicks horizontally (1
to 5 inches) and penetrates into every fiber regardless of type of
fabric. MicroSeal actually helps strengthen fibers while remaining
odorless and colorless. Formula won’t “lock in” dirt, therefore
can be applied on soiled fabrics.
SUSTAINABILITY
As member of the Sustainable Furnishings
Council, Surya promotes responsible sourcing and
manufacturing processes across all levels of the supply
chain while using sustainable, renewable and biodegradable
materials wherever possible.
As such, Surya is constantly looking for innovative ways to
repurpose waste materials to produce durable and trendforward products in a range of styles, colors and textures. For
the hospitality market, Surya is introducing a collection of rugs
constructed from PET yarn (polyethylene terephthalate), a unique
polyester created from recycled plastic water and soda bottles. To
create PET yarn, plastic bottles are sorted, ground and washed,
and the plastic is then extruded into fiber that can be woven into
beautiful and durable area rugs.
It is estimated that Americans throw away 35 billion plastic
water bottles every year—enough to circle the earth four
times—posing threats to both humans and the environment.
Repurposing plastic bottles into area rugs and other items
keeps millions of pounds of waste out of landfills while creating
a sustainable alternative to the use of materials with higher
environmental impacts.
RESISTS WEAR AND ABRASION: Treated fibers are up to
60% more resistant to wear and abrasion as the soil must wear off
the protection before causing wear on the fibers. Similarly, fabric
fibers must wear off the protective MicroSeal finish before they
can wear on each other. This “wear resistance” promotes longer
fabric life and less frequent replacement.
FORMULA CAN BE USED ON VIRTUALLY EVERY
TYPE OF FIBROUS FABRIC AND LEATHER: Wool,
cotton, nylon, polyester blends, silk, natural suede, synthetic
suede and even smooth finished leather. Formula is not
effective on vinyl.
