Carpet Whipping vs. Carpet Tape Binding: what's the difference?
When transforming carpet remnants into custom rugs, runners, or stair carpets, selecting the right edge finish is crucial for enhancing both durability and aesthetics. The two most popular options for carpet edging are carpet whipping (also known as overlocking) and carpet binding (tape edging). Both methods effectively prevent fraying and boost the longevity of your rugs, but they each provide a unique visual appeal. Understanding the differences between the sleek, wrapped yarn edge of carpet whipping and the structured fabric tape border of carpet binding will help you choose the ideal look that complements your home décor while ensuring your custom carpets stand the test of time.
Carpet Whipping
Carpet Whipping is a premium woollen yarn that is expertly overlocked along the edges of a carpet, delivering a polished and professional finish.
Our durable 100% wool yarn edging not only enhances the carpet's appearance but also protects it from fraying.
Standard show of whipping on the carpet face is 10mm.
Carpet Binding
Binding tape is a sturdy and durable material that is hand-stitched along the edges of a carpet, providing a polished finish.
With hundreds of colours and styles available, the options are limitless for creating your own unique stair runner or rug.
Standard show of tape on the carpet face is 50mm.
