The jute carpet is entirely made of natural jute fibers. Its material is relatively tough and firm, unlike plush carpets which tend to be overly thick. The common thickness in the market usually ranges from 5 millimeters to 15 millimeters. Among them, 10 millimeters is the most common standard thickness and is also the most popular style in home decoration. The weaving density is uniform, the flatness is good, it is wear-resistant and durable. The foot feel is neither stiff nor overly soft, making it suitable for most home spaces such as living rooms, study rooms, tea rooms, and balconies. 

The slightly thinner style has a thickness ranging from 5 to 7 millimeters. The tightly woven structure is stable, and the overall appearance is stiff, making it unlikely to deform or curl. It is suitable for large-scale full coverage in shopping malls and office buildings, corridors and passageways, as well as areas with lower gaps at the entrance door. It will not cause problems such as jamming the door or scraping the door, and it is also very easy to maintain.

It is suitable for use throughout the year, providing a non-stuffy feeling in summer, no coldness in autumn and winter, and effectively preventing slipping and reducing noise. It is compatible with various interior design styles such as rustic, minimalist, and Chinese styles. 

The thick version of the sisal carpet has a thickness ranging from 13 to 15 millimeters. The fibers are more densely woven and fuller, giving a stronger texture. The overall feel is more upscale, with better cushioning performance. It is suitable for bedrooms and leisure areas where higher requirements are placed on the home's texture and foot sensation. 

Due to the inherent fiber properties of sisal, these types of carpets are generally no more than 15 millimeters thick. Anything thicker is prone to become loose and deformed, and it's difficult to clean the accumulated dirt. Additionally, sisal carpets with anti-slip bottoms and composite backing are generally slightly thicker than pure woven models. When purchasing, apart from checking the thickness of the surface layer, you should also consider the height of the backing to avoid affecting the
