Wool Area Rug's Selection of Affordable
Carpet Binding Finishes

What we provide as Carpet Binding specialists
When you are in a bind about finding the perfect area rug, we can help. At our outlet store, we have many wool carpets to choose from and add a carpet binding finish to prevent the rug from fraying. This is a good alternative for customers who are redecorating within a budget and want to add comfort during chilly weather.
Since our stock is made out of wool, it is guaranteed that you will benefit from the value it can bring. Wool can retain heat, absorb moisture, and be stain-resistant, making it a perfect option for a home.
Edging large area rugs is not a problem for our team, we can edge up to 4m x 10m in size.
Once the carpet binding finish is completed, we also have an option for delivery for customers who do not have enough room in their car or lack time for a pick-up from our workroom. Have a look below to see what type of carpet binding option suits you best.

Carpet Binding Options

Wool Overlocking Binding
This is a more chunky finish using a woollen yarn in a blanket stitch format and defines the border of the rug.
What we do for you as part of our professional service
- We cut or trim as required to shape or size required.
- We either match as close as possible in colour or contrast depending on your
instruction. - We provide a closely woven finish for our wool binding and only operate to on standard.

Slimline Tape Binding
With the many different carpet finishes and styles being promoted as suitable for tailored area rugs on hard floors such as concrete, tiled or wooden having a selection of edging finishes is required.
We offer:
- The 3cm wide slimline tape producing a 1.5 cm visible hem. This is recommended for the more solid or chunky loop pile or thick push pile carpets as the preferred tape edging
- We will not put the narrow tape finish on the substantial or heavy carpets

Synthetic Tape Binding by 7.5 cm
The 7.5 cm carpet binding tape produces a 3.5 cm visual edge. Also, each corner finish has folded corners for a seamless look.
As area rugs become part of everyday life, the move from carpet to hard flooring becomes more apparent. Having the option to select a quality carpet, tailored to your precise size requirements with an edging finish is a bonus.

Cotton Tape Binding by 12.7 cm
We also offer an option to add a Cotton Tape Binding for area rugs that cover hard flooring. This anchors the home decorations and furniture into an aesthetically pleasing room.
The 12.7 cm carpet binding tape produces a 6.cm visual edge, with the stitching exposed. We also provide folded corner finishes only and one fabric in an assortment of colours
Issues that can happen
- Because of the UV in New Zealand, this type of carpet binding can fade overtime. However, this can be avoided with proper care and maintenance.
