Certifications and service details current for 2026.
Finished edges that protect your rug
A rug’s edges take the most abuse, and once binding or serging starts to fail, the foundation can quickly unravel. We restore worn edges and fringes with the right finish for your rug’s style and construction.
Binding vs. serging
Binding wraps the rug’s edge in fabric tape for a clean, tailored look often used on cut-down or bound rugs. Serging wraps the edge in yarn, by hand or machine, and is common on wool and Oriental rugs. We offer both, matched to your rug.
Fringe repair & replacement
We repair, secure, and replace worn or missing fringe, or, if you prefer, remove damaged fringe and finish the edge cleanly. Addressing fringe and edge wear early prevents a small repair from turning into major reweaving.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between rug binding and serging?
Binding wraps the rug edge in fabric tape for a clean, finished look, while serging wraps the edge in yarn by hand or machine, common on wool and Oriental rugs. Fiber Specialties offers both, plus fringe repair, matched to your rug’s style.
Can you repair frayed or worn rug fringe?
Yes. We repair, replace, and secure worn or missing fringe, and can also remove damaged fringe and finish the edge cleanly if you prefer. Repairing fringe early prevents the rug’s foundation from coming apart further.
