Each flatweave design is made to order and woven to any dimension. Prices are quoted to specification , enquire for more.
Flatweave rugs, including dhurries and kilims, have no pile: the design is formed entirely by the interlacing of warp and weft. This makes them lightweight, reversible and ideal for warm climates and layered interiors. Raheem and Son produces flatweave and dhurrie rugs in cotton, wool and jute from Bhadohi, India, for wholesale buyers and interior designers seeking a sustainable, low-profile floor covering.

Common questions
What is a flatweave rug?
A flatweave rug has no knotted or tufted pile. The pattern is created by interlacing coloured warp and weft threads, producing a thin, flat, reversible surface. Dhurries, kilims and soumaks are all types of flatweave rug. They are lighter, easier to clean and often less expensive than pile rugs of the same size.
What are flatweave rugs made of at Raheem and Son?
We weave flatweave rugs in cotton, wool, jute and natural-fibre blends. Cotton dhurries are crisp and easy to launder. Wool flatweaves are warmer and more resilient. Jute flatweaves suit earthy, natural interiors and are an eco-conscious choice.
Are flatweave rugs suitable for high-traffic areas?
Yes. Because flatweave rugs have no pile to crush or mat, they perform well in hallways, dining rooms and other high-traffic spaces. They also lie very flat, reducing trip hazards, and are typically easier to clean than pile rugs.
