Edge styles

The right edge for the carpet and the room.

Not sure which you need? Send a photo of the carpet and we'll recommend one.

Binding

A tape sewn around the edge in a color matched to the carpet. Crisp and tailored, and the most popular finish.

Cut pile · loop · most broadloom

Serging

Yarn wrapped tightly over the edge so it looks like part of the rug. A soft, hand-sewn look.

Area rugs · plush · curves

Wide binding

A 3″ top-stitched border that frames the rug like a picture. Good for bold contrast.

Statement rugs · runners

Edge sealing

A sealed cut edge that won't fray or unravel. Practical where the edge sits under furniture or in a closet.

Utility pieces · mats

Beveling

The edge trimmed at an angle before binding so heavy carpet lies flat and doesn't trip anyone.

Carpets over 60 oz.

Inside corners

Notches and L-shapes sewn cleanly, for rugs that fit around hearths, islands and stair landings.

Custom shapes

How it works

Drop off or ship in

Bring it to the shop, or ship it to us. Dealers can send several pieces at once.

Ready for the floor

Pick it up, or we'll ship it back rolled and wrapped.

How we measure

8′ × 10′ rug = 2 × (8 + 10) = 36 linear feet of edge

Binding and serging are measured around the outside of the piece. Give us the length and width and we'll do the rest.
