Trans-Ocean, Inc. is a pioneer and industry leader in the
construction of true "indoor / outdoor" rugs. The Everywear brand of
rugs from Trans-Ocean, Inc. insures quality and durability that can be used
indoors or outdoors to decorate any area. Everywear rugs are UV stabilized to
resist fading and mildew and are easy to maintain; can be swept and rinsed off
with a garden hose. The Everywear brand of rugs feature designer collections
from Liora Manne and Tommy Bahama. Each one of Liora's
designs reveal strong design aesthetics with an extraordinary sense of color.
The Tommy Bahama designs live up to the luxurious styles inspired by the
Tropics that he is known for.
Trans-Ocean created the first true indoor/outdoor rug in 2002. The Collection,
called Patio, was made in France from 100% polypropylene fiber, which
was used in both the face pile and back of the rug (no jute) and was UV
stabilized for fade resistance. The Patio Collection continues as the standard
of the industry.
Trans-Ocean began to broaden their outdoor assortment with the Terrace
Collection created in Europe. Along with the original Patio collection, the
Terrace Collection also uses a special yarn system of twisted and UV stabilized
yarn (no jute).
In December of 2005, the Trans-Ocean development team took their special
"twisted filament" yarn from Europe to China, combined the yarn with acrylic
fibers and introduced the Ravella Collection, the first completely
indoor / outdoor hand tufted rug. As with its European counterparts, this item
is also UV stabilized and consists of a 100% synthetic backing which has
washable natural latex.
In October of 2006, a cut and loop hand tufted indoor/outdoor rug called Spello
was added to the line. The Spello Collection used the same UV stabilized
poly/acrylic yarn that is in the Ravella with a 100% synthetic backing.
