Question

Accepted Answer

Yes—standard carpet materials can be cut and finished as custom rugs, though results depend on the carpet’s pile, thickness and backing. Finishing options include overlocking, binding or other edge treatments; the carpet’s weight and backing will affect how the rug lies and how it should be supported on floors. Costs, available finishing methods and suitability vary by product, so confirm whether a specific carpet is suitable for rug-cutting and what finishing services are available. For project-specific advice, sample inspection and confirmation of services, contact the Taren Point showroom (Unit 3/46 Bay Rd, Taren Point) or call 02 9526 6421.
