Area rug binding services that turn leftovers into luxury
Is your favorite carpet remnant just sitting in the garage collecting dust? Maybe you’ve got an old area rug that’s seen better days, but you’re not quite ready to toss it. We’ve got a better solution. Area rug binding can turn unused carpet pieces into custom rugs or give worn-out rugs a clean, finished look. It's affordable, fast, and makes a big difference in how your space feels. Whether you're working on a home refresh or want to repurpose leftover carpet, our area rug binding service can help you make the most of what you already have.
Let’s break down what rug binding is, how it works, and why choosing MB Carpet & Flooring for the job is the smart move.
What is area rug binding?
Area rug binding is the process of finishing the edges of a carpet piece to stop it from fraying and falling apart. We add a fabric or stitched edge—called binding—around the rug to give it a clean, polished look. Without binding, the edges can curl, unravel, or wear down quickly. Binding also gives the rug a professional appearance that fits right in with your room’s style.
People often bind carpet remnants left over from wall-to-wall installations, turning them into useful area rugs or runners. Binding is also great for extending the life of older rugs that still have good structure but need a fresh finish. Whether you want a perfect fit for your hallway or a matching piece for your room, area rug binding gets the job done.

Rug and carpet edge binding options
You’ve got choices, and we’ll walk you through them. Here are the most popular area rug binding styles we offer:
- Standard binding: This is a narrow polyester or cotton tape that’s sewn around the rug’s edges. It’s simple, clean, and budget-friendly.
- Serging: Want something that mimics hand-sewn edges? Serging uses thick yarn wrapped continuously around the rug’s edge. It has a more upscale, traditional look.
- Wide binding: For larger rugs or a bolder finish, wide cotton or synthetic binding gives extra visual impact and durability.
- Color match or contrast: Go subtle or bold. Choose a color that blends with your rug, or pick one that adds contrast for a more modern look.
We’ll help you figure out what works best for your rug and your space. Whether it’s a small hallway runner or a large centerpiece for your living room, there’s a binding option that’ll suit your style.
