- We will not put the narrow tape finish on the substantial or heavy carpets

Woollen Fringing and Tassel Finish
Carpet Binders can add a gorgeous woollen fringe or tassel edge to any rug. This adds another dimension to the finishing touches when entering a room.
We also are often called upon to given new life to a much-loved rug that has had a fringe that has seen better days. In the rug recovery process we often rebind the edges at the same time. Therefore the patterned rug can continue to bring pleasure to its owners for another decade or two.
With our woollen fringing service, the choice of the colour of the tassels is endless.

OUR POINT OF DIFFERENCE ……. We Are Solution Focused
Most companies don’t offer opinions, recommendations, or advice on finishing edges. It could be that they want to finish the rug the easiest way possible or just make the sale and will tell the client anything.
At Carpet Binders we take the time to inform and discuss with our customers on the best option for their rug. We understand the purpose and need for the rug so the rug is fit for purpose. Our team pride ourselves on our professional service offering and our specialist knowledge with over four decades in the carpet binding and edging industry.
