Does Colonial Mills ship internationally?

Yes, Colonial Mills services customers outside of the United States. If you are a consumer living outside of the U.S. and are looking to purchase our braided rugs and accessories, we, or one of our many online retailers, will be able to meet your needs.

Is there a minimum order?

No. Colonial Mills has no minimum order quantity requirements.

What is your turnaround time?

Our average order turnaround is less than 5 days. 

Note:  All products are made-to-order. Due to the extra level of detail and craftsmanship necessary in the production of our Luxury Designer Rugs, please expect a 2-week lead time when ordering from this collection. However, we promise to do our best to get it to you sooner!

Why is my charge listed as "pending" or "awaiting payment"?

All Colonial Mills products are made to order, typically within 3-5 business days. We do not charge your card until the order is shipped, and it will appear as pending while we complete your order. If there are any issues with your payment method, our customer service team will reach out to you to resolve them.

Where are your products made?

All Colonial Mills braided rugs and accessories are proudly made in the USA at our factory in  Rumford, Rhode Island.  Our former production facility and factory outlet store were located just over the town border in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, the birthplace of America’s textile industry.

Can braided rugs be used outdoors for decks and patios?

Braided rugs that are made using polypropylene or Sunbrella acrylic yarn are a great choice for outdoor use as they can better withstand weather conditions and are more durable with heavy exposure to sun and also damp locations. These materials are highly stain and fade resistant as well as mold and mildew resistant, making them some of the most desirable braided rug types for general outdoor use.

How do I clean my braided area rug?

To retain the beauty and durability of your braided rug, you can regularly vacuum with a hard surface attachment. Do not use the beater brush.  Periodic professional dry cleaning is also recommended. Please visit our braided rug care section for more information.

Are Colonial Mills braided rugs flame resistant?

The materials used to manufacture Colonial Mills braided rugs all undergo a fire resistance test by a certified vendor, prior to being used for any braided products. The flammability testing ensures that our braided products don’t pose a risk of catching fire.

Are Colonial Mills braided rugs and accessories pet friendly?

Yes, our braided products are pet friendly. Being reversible and stain resistant also helps with preserving the quality of the rug.

Do I need a pad with my braided rug?

Floor padding is strongly recommended to prevent yarn color dye transfer and provide comfort, safety and durability. Learn more about our Eco-StayTM floor pads.

What is a stair tread?

A stair tread is a horizontal covering for a set of stairs in order to improve traction. These could be made from a variety of materials, such as wood, carpeting, or rubber. Colonial Mills braided stair treads are constructed with the same quality and process that you would find with any of our other products using high-quality polypropylene, wool and chenille yarns. Along with providing safety and traction, they also add texture and style to the stairs. A stair tread installation kit is available for purchase to easily install braided stair treads to the steps.
