Carpet binding is the process of finishing the raw edges of carpet or rug material to prevent fraying and create a polished, professional look. It transforms carpet remnants, samples, or custom-cut pieces into functional area rugs, runners, or mats.
At CDC Carpets, we specialize in binding natural fiber carpets—wool, sisal, seagrass, and silk—using high-quality materials and expert craftsmanship.
