What We Recommend Instead

  • Rug Rats no longer produces hand-tufted wool rugs, but we still design and produce commercial-grade custom rugs in six modern product lines — each with a free 24-hour digital proof and no minimum order.
  • For photo-realistic logo printing: DigiPrint HD delivers full-color detail on stain-resistant nylon. Best for corporate lobbies, real estate offices, and any interior entrance where the logo needs to look magazine-quality.
  • For premium executive interiors: Piazza Logo Mats use hand-inlaid solid carpet fibers cut and inlaid into the mat — the same craftsmanship principle behind hand-tufted wool, delivered on a modern commercial substrate. The logo IS the carpet and never fades.
  • For heavy-duty commercial entrances: Waterhog Impressions HD is the gold standard for high-traffic entryways exposed to weather. Patented rubber waffle surface and water-dam border. NFSI-certified.
  • For economical indoor branding: Prestige Logo Mats start at $70 for a 2×3. Best for small offices, showrooms, and light-to-moderate traffic areas.
  • For custom-cut silhouettes: DigiPrint HD Custom Shape Mats let you cut a mat to any logo, mascot, or emblem shape — die-cut on stain-resistant nylon.
  • For industrial back-of-house: SuperScrape Impressions is our heavy-duty scraper mat for restaurant kitchens, locker rooms, and outdoor entrances that take the most abuse.
  • Send your logo and space specifications to sandy@rugratsva.com and Rug Rats will recommend the right product for your use case — usually within the same business day.

Custom Hand Tufted Rugs
Contemporary Handtufted Custom Rug
The most popular custom rug construction is hand-tufted, 100% wool rugs.

At Rug Rats, every hand-tufted custom rug and carpet we used to create reflected our careful attention to the needs of each customer. Every hand-tufted rug we produced was crafted from the finest wool fibers.

Custom hand-dyed colors were also available. Piles included cut pile, loop pile, needlepoint, and petit-point. Custom renderings and corner swatches were provided on each rug. Custom hand-tufted rugs take 9-14 weeks to arrive at your home.  Prices vary by quality. Hand-tufted rugs offer the opportunity to produce a custom handmade wool rug to any design and color.
Contemporary Handtufted Wool Custom Rug

These wool hand-tufted area rugs were  manufactured using a tool known as a “tufting gun.” Loops of wool are pressed through a backing that’s been printed using the overall pattern of the rug. Once the rug maker finishes this procedure, an additional base, known as a scrim, is used with latex adhesive. Once this cures, the last protective fabric backing is put on.

The final phase is to shear the area rug to ensure that all the loops on top of the carpet are cut, producing the pile.

Hand-tufted area rugs can stand up to excessive foot traffic and will start to wear out after approximately 20 years of use. Heavy traffic locations include areas like corridors, living rooms, and entrances. Moderate traffic locations include the dining area and home office. Lower traffic locations include bedrooms and formal living rooms.

  1. Hand-tufted area rugs tend to be less expensive than hand-knotted rugs.
  2. Hand-tufted area rugs are incredibly long-lasting since they’re manufactured with the same high-quality wool as hand-knotted area rugs.
  3. Hand-tufted rugs look quite similar from the top to hand-knotted rugs.
