Are you having difficulty finding the perfect rug for your home? You may want to consider having carpet professionals create a custom rug using carpet binding. Here are some things to know about this process and how carpet bound rugs can be beneficial.
Carpet Binding Basics
Carpet binding basically allows you to choose any carpet and turn it into a custom area rug. The carpet can be cut to any shape or size and then fabric is tightly bound around the edges to create a finished, polished look. Depending on your personal preference, the binding fabric is made of a matching or contrasting polyester or cotton material. The type of fabric the rug is bound with also depends on what type of carpet you’re having bound.
Versatility
One of the best things about carpet binding is the versatile options. You may find a roll of carpet that you love, but don’t want to carpet the whole room. Carpet binding allows you to use any carpet you like with a lot more flexibility. You can have the carpet custom-made to fit any space in your home perfectly.
Affordability
Another advantage of bound carpet rugs is that they’re often a lot more affordable than other types of area rugs. If you’re working within a tight budget you’ll be able to find a rug that works in your budget and fits the space well, rather than compromising for an ill-fitting rug simply because you can’t afford an area rug that would be more suitable for the space.
Durability
Bound carpets aren’t any less durable than other types of rugs. You can count on the same durability and ability to clean and care for your new rug as you would if the carpet covered the entire room. With regular vacuuming and occasional carpet cleaning, your rug can withstand heavy traffic for years.
