These rugs are specially made with wool in order to bring comfort to the hearth and home. Wool is a favorite for the home for its strength, durability, and natural fire-resistance. It protects from flying sparks, popping embers, and potential fire hazards. This half round hearth rug lies flat while the non-skid backing keeps it in place on hardwood, area rugs, or carpeting. It's easy to care for, just vacuum regularly. Quality materials and construction make this rug a long-lasting fireplace solution that promises years of service. Made in the USA.
