Carpet binding, overlocking and edging specialists offering a range of finishes tailored to clients needs.

From standard overlocking to the sleek narrow tape binding and the popular designer 3- inch and 5-inch jute/cotton tapes, our carpet binding division can turn every carpet piece into either a practical mat or tasteful area rug depending on the client’s end-use.

We are your carpet binding and carpet overlocking specialists based in Christchurch and servicing the wider Canterbury region,

Overlocking is the most common carpet finish for carpet edging and provides a lovely border when the woollen yarn thread is matched to the body of the carpet synthetically to create the mats required.

Carpet binding often refers to a tape binding finish,  we are to offer a selection of different tape bindings in a variety of widths, fabrics and more importantly, colours that enhance the edged rug.

As part of our suite of carpet edging suite of finishes, we also provide a fringing or tassel service, which adds another aspect to the carpet finishes.

We operate our rug binding business from a specialist workroom that allows us plenty of space for edging carpet as we turn  leftover carpet scraps into practical mats and area rugs depending on a customers preference and requirements.
