Easybind (Carpet Binding) - Cinnamon and Gold

• Easybind is the smart and attractive binding method for finishing the edges of carpet to make attractive rugs and runners. It is easy to apply and cost effective, making it possible to turn remnant carpet into a feature of your home. You can also apply to upholstery and it proves excellent for edging fitted carpets in caravans and boats.
• This carpet binding is around 10mm in diameter/thick and is easy to apply, in the home. It's simple to do and fast.
• The Easybind tape edges the carpet with a rope-styled binding, which is stuck to the reverse of the carpet with a self-adhesive fabric strip (supplied integral to the rope edging). Suitable for all types of backing material.
• The carpet binding prevents frayed edges and is an attractive feature and is an economical way to use up carpet remnants.
• It avoids the need for overlocking or fitting borders to the rug, which tend to be ugly and bulky and involve sending your carpet away to a specialist company - a lengthy process.
• Easybind is ideal for edging straight and curved edges, which means that you can make all shapes of rug, including round, L-shaped, square and rectangular.
• Choose from 30 standard colours plus 8 deluxe colours, including attractive two-tone options.
• Those colours marked up as "Deluxe" features a special yarn with a silky sheen to it, for that extra touch of glamour.
• Easybind is also suitable for covering expansion gaps such as those at the bottom of a staircase where the runner meets the hall floor. Please click the "Scotia Video" tab below for further details.
