Carpet Binding is a cotton or synthetic based material that is sewn to the edges of a piece of carpet. This is done to improve how the carpet looks and to keep the edges of the carpet from unraveling or becoming frayed.
Carpet Binding is used to create area rugs that can be utilized in a variety of ways around the house; under a dining room table, in front of a fireplace or wherever an area rug can be used to add a bit of decorative color to a room.
Carpet Binding is great for those pieces of carpet that are left over from every room installation. Use these pieces as rugs in doorways and entrances to help reduce wear and tear on the installed carpet.
Magic Carpet provides a full range of services from as simple as cutting a piece of carpet to the size and shape you want it; to binding or surging the edges, to adding fringe if desired.
We offer you the opportunity to resize your left over carpet remnants to fit your situation. Cutting them down and binding the cut edges can usually be done next day.
Bound Area Rug Tips:
Depending on the use for your new rug, you can put Non-Slip pad or regular carpet pad underneath. Most Non-Slip pads are pre-cut very close to the size you are buying. Non-Slip pads are thin and provide protection against your area rug moving under normal circumstances.
Regular carpet pad is thicker, usually about 1/2" thick, and provides cushion under your area rug. Carpet pad is usually cut down so that it is 3" short of the area rug size. This allows the area rug to come down to the floor and helps to prevent tripping. Carpet pad does not keep your area rug from slipping, however if the area rug is large enough, you are likely to have a piece of furniture on top of the rug helping prevent it from moving.
If you have ever bought a rug that was rolled up and stood on end at the store I am sure you were told that it would relax and lay flat after a week or so. This is true, but if you want to speed up the process you can add fabric softener to water in a spray bottle, then lightly spray the under side of the affected area. A Customer of ours passed this on to us and we have not heard of any problems as the result of this tip.yo
