Burlap Frequently Asked Questions
Burlap Fabric
What is burlap fabric made of?
Burlap fabric is made from the fibers of the jute plant, a natural and renewable resource. These fibers are spun into strong, coarse threads and then woven into the rough, durable fabric known as burlap. Jute is valued for its strength, biodegradability, and low environmental impact during production. Occasionally, burlap may also be made from other plant fibers like hemp, but at Commercial Supply Co., we specialize in jute burlap. Burlap’s natural properties make it ideal for various agricultural, industrial, and decorative applications.

What is the cheapest burlap?
The cheapest burlap is typically made from less refined and coarser jute fibers. This type of burlap is often referred to as "economy burlap" or "utility burlap." It is less expensive because it may contain more imperfections like uneven weaves or color variations and it’s usually lighter in weight. Economy burlap is often used for applications where aesthetics are less important, such as erosion control, packaging, or as a protective covering in gardening and construction. We can help guide you in making the best choice in balancing cost-effectiveness with durability when purchasing burlap for your application.

Why do I need to use concrete curing blankets or paving covers?
It’s best to pour concrete when the temperature is warm, but it’s not always possible to wait around for warmer temperatures when you have construction deadlines to meet. You can learn more about the benefits of paving covers in this article.
What is biodegradable fabric?
Biodegradable fabric is a type of material made from natural fibers that can break down naturally over time when exposed to the elements like moisture, bacteria, and sunlight. These fabrics decompose in an environmentally friendly way, returning to the earth as organic matter without leaving behind harmful waste. Examples include cotton, linen, wool, silk, hemp, and jute. Choosing biodegradable fabrics is a great way to reduce environmental impact, as they help minimize waste and pollution. Read our article on biodegradable textiles to learn more!
