Our Rug Repair Services Include
- Restoration over-casting: The process involves securing a rug on the ends where the fringes are located. This prevents future damage or loss of the ends. The two specific types of carpet repair over-casting are loop over-cast and square-cast. Both are equally effective, the only difference is the appearance.
- Genji: This is another form of securing the ends that allows adding a bit more closure to the end with color. It’s just a more attractive way of securing the ends.
- Binding: Binding protects and closes the sides of a carpet. Rug repair binding is needed to ensure that the rug doesn’t unravel. Intact binding is useful if the border is damaged, the rug is in danger of future, more extensive damage. Sometimes multi-colored borders can be found in antique Caucasus carpets but borders typically are one solid color.
- Patching: Patching involves taking a fragment of a rug with similar colors and customizing the piece to the hole, making sure it’s secured tightly. Patching is done for two reasons. First, rug repair costs can outweigh the value of a rug. Second, the client can’t afford to fix the carpet but needs something to secure the hole to prevent further damage.
- Reweaving: Reweaving involves building a foundation for the wool to be tied onto. There are different types of foundations depending on the type of rug.
- Re-piling: To re-pile, we put wool back into the carpet along with the design or pattern that's already encompassed in the rug once we have the foundation built. There are several different reasons for re-piling a carpet. Moths can eat away the wool and holes can be created from dry-rot, animals or constant wear.
- Artificial fringe: Artificial fringe is a replacement of a real fringe that has been worn down. We use the artificial fringe to cover and protect the old fringe and to make the rug appear newer. It helps to cover up worn areas and old dirty fringe that can no longer be cleaned. It’s an alternative to reweaving the fringe.
- Blocking: Dyeing a carpet involves mixing numerous amounts of dyes to match the carpet’s original color. We dye carpets only if the rug repair is beyond the re-piling. Some foundations are too brittle to tie knots onto, so we paint the foundation instead. This is a rare technique, but some old antique pieces require this type of attention.
- Shearing: Shearing a carpet is when we cut the tips of a carpet to an even level. Over time, carpets tend to have traffic patterns worn into them. This makes them shaggy in some areas and worn in others. Shearing a carpet will even out the pile and clean up drawings that weren’t as definitive as they used to be.
- Kashmir: Kashmir, a form of weaving, involves looping wool onto the foundation of carpets rather than tying knots. This process is mainly used on old pieces that are worn down and with nothing left but the knots. Kashmir weave gives you that flat knot look.
- Pillows: Sometimes carpet repair is not possible. There are old carpets that have lived out their life. We rescue the pieces of those carpets that are healthy and make pillows out of them. They are great accent pieces for almost any room.
