There are three main types of binding used to finish area rugs:
1.
Binding – This process is the most affordable and uses a strip of either binding tape or fabric to create a decorative edge. A machine carries out this process, and the binding is available in a wide variety of colors so that your rug is closely matched.
2.
Serging – also done by machine, this process closely resembles hand finishing as a fiber is wound, over and over, around the edge of the rug piece. It’s a higher-end appearance, but there are not as many choices for color.
3.
Fringe – In rugs that feature hand-knotting, fringing is a necessary part of the binding process. However, it only provides a visual appeal in machine-bound rugs. Fringing should be reserved for area rugs and runners placed in low-traffic areas, as they require a bit more to clean and maintain properly.
