An Introduction to Carpet Binding

Carpet binding refers to the process of securely joining the edges of carpet pieces together using a strip of binding tape and a heat activated adhesive. At Carpet Concepts Unlimited, we offer professional carpet binding services to seamlessly join any type of carpet, including berber, frieze, loop pile and cut pile.

High-Quality Materials

We only use premium carpet binding tapes and adhesives specifically designed for carpet installations. The binding tape is made of 100% nylon and comes in a variety of widths to suit your carpet type. Our technicians will determine the appropriate binding tape and adhesive for your carpet to ensure maximum durability and an invisible finish.

Precision and Workmanship

Our experienced technicians take great care to neatly trim and join your carpet pieces with precision. They thoroughly clean and rough up the edges of the carpet to provide maximum surface area for the adhesive to adhere to. The binding tape is then carefully joined and sealed for a professional, seamless result.

The Carpet Binding Process at Carpet Concepts Unlimited

Inspection and Consultation

When you bring your carpet remnants or samples to Carpet Concepts Unlimited, our carpet binding specialists will inspect the carpeting to determine the appropriate binding technique and materials required. We evaluate factors such as carpet pile, texture, and density to select binding that will closely match your carpet. Our specialists are also available to consult with you regarding binding placement, color selection, and the overall binding process.

Binding Selection

We offer a wide range of commercial-grade carpet binding options to suit any carpet type. Options include fabric binding, vinyl binding, and stair nose binding. For most residential carpeting, we recommend a vinyl or fabric binding. Vinyl binding provides a durable yet flexible edging, while fabric binding offers a seamless appearance. We will help you select a binding that closely matches your carpet in both color and texture.

Binding Process

Once the binding selection and placement have been determined, our technicians will carefully trim your carpet to size and shape as needed. The selected binding is then securely adhered around the edges of the carpet using a heavy-duty heat-activated tape and a hot glue gun. Trimmed edges are also sealed to prevent fraying. Our expert technicians take pride in providing high-quality, precision binding services so your carpet will have a professional, finished appearance.

Finishing Touches

For the best results, we recommend that bound carpeting be installed using double-sided carpet tape, tack strips, or stretch-in installation techniques. The bound edges should be secured beneath moldings or trim pieces for a seamless look. Your newly bound carpet is now ready to enhance your home or commercial space with a custom area rug or stair runners. Our carpet binding services transform remnants and samples into usable carpeting, allowing you to achieve a high-end look without excessive cost or waste.

Carpet Binding Services Offered

Custom Carpet Binding

Carpet Concepts Unlimited offers custom carpet binding services to provide a professional finishing touch to any carpet project. Our expert technicians will bind the edges of your carpet using a binding tape that closely matches your carpet color and pattern. This helps create a seamless appearance and prevents fraying along the edges. Custom carpet binding is suitable for both residential and commercial carpet installations.

Serging

For carpets with patterns that are more difficult to match, serging the edges may be a better option. Our technicians use an overlock sewing machine to encase the raw edge of the carpet, then trim away excess material to provide a durable, protective edge finish. Though not invisible, serging helps prevent unraveling while still looking neat and tailored. It is often used for patterned or textured carpets where binding may not achieve an ideal result.

Protective Edge Finishes

In high-traffic, commercial settings, a more heavy-duty edge finish may be required to withstand constant use and abuse. Our protective edge finishing techniques, such as hot melt and vinyl welding, fuse the carpet edges using heat and pressure to create an extremely durable, rigid edge. These techniques are suitable for loop pile and other carpet styles in settings such as offices, retail stores, and institutions. They provide maximum protection and longevity for your carpet edges.

Customizing Services

Carpet Concepts Unlimited aims to provide solutions for all your carpet needs. In addition to our standard carpet binding, serging and protective edge finishing options, we offer customized services to meet unique requirements. Our experienced technicians can bind carpets to non-carpeted surfaces, create custom carpet inserts, or bind multiple carpet pieces together for a seamless, continuous appearance. We strive to achieve the ideal result for your specific carpet project.

The professionals at Carpet Concepts Unlimited have the skills and expertise to apply the appropriate edge finishing technique based on your carpet type, pattern, and installation setting. Our custom carpet binding and other services will give your carpet a polished, professional finish and help maximize its lifespan.

Frequently Asked Questions About Carpet Binding

What is carpet binding?

Carpet binding refers to the process of finishing raw carpet edges to prevent fraying. Strips of binding tape are applied over the edges and sewn in place. The binding tape comes in a variety of colors and materials to match or complement your carpet.

Why should I have my carpet bound?

Binding your carpet edges helps prevent the carpet from unraveling or fraying over time and use. It provides a durable, finished edge that looks neat and professional. Binding also helps carpets lie flat, without curled or frayed edges. For high-traffic commercial spaces, binding is particularly important for carpet longevity and appearance.

What are the binding options?

The most common binding options are cloth tape, vinyl or polypropylene tape, and carpet tape. Cloth binding tape is made of canvas or linen and provides a casual look. Vinyl or polypropylene binding has a plastic coating and resists moisture damage. Carpet binding tape is made of carpet fibers to provide an exact match. You can also choose from a variety of colors to coordinate with your carpet color and style.

How is the binding process done?

First, your carpet is trimmed to the desired size and shape. The binding tape is cut to the proper length and width. An industrial sewing machine is then used to attach the binding tape over the raw carpet edges. The binding tape is folded over the edge with the carpet fibers sandwiched in between. For the best results, use a binding tape that is slightly wider than your carpet thickness. The sewn binding should sit evenly over the edge, with no gaps showing through.

How much does carpet binding cost?

The exact cost for carpet binding will depend on several factors, including the carpet type, binding material, and total linear feet. On average, you can expect to pay between $0.50 to $2.00 per linear foot for binding installation. Cloth binding tends to be on the lower end of the range, while carpet binding to match your specific carpet will be at the higher end. For commercial carpet, binding installation may be included as part of the total carpet cost from the installer.
