Fraying carpet seam repair is the most common problem at the transition areas, thresholds as well as in the seams of poorly installed carpets. Continuous traffic of foot and movement of furniture can make the fraying worst. You can prevent your carpet from further fraying at these areas by undertaking carpet fraying repair as soon as possible.
Whenever your carpet starts to wear, tear and fray under the countless feet, you need not have to replace them. It is more like the loose threads of the sweater and these fuzzy ends of the carpet can be trimmed and mended thereby leaving permanent and unnoticeable repairs. Fraying in the middle of the carpet or against the wall can be sown, while the frayed edges in the passageways can be concealed with the help of a carpet bar. Often a prompt repair will help in keeping the carpet in use for several years.
The areas where the carpet meets hard surfaces such as tiles or wood are mostly abused and fraying can be easily be stopped by covering the area of transition with the help of transition strip, which is also known as a carpet bar. Repairing a frayed carpet seam can easily be done with the help of hot melted seam tape and seam iron.
Carpet Fraying Repair
Things Required
Scissors
Anti-fray glue
Heavy-duty polyester thread
6 inches upholstery needle
Tape measure
Carpet bar
Hacksaw or wood saw
Hammer or screwdriver
Sewing
Trimming off the fuzzy and frayed edges of the carpet down the height from the rest of the carpet with the help of scissors. Remember not to use blunt scissors for cutting edges, else, the other threads of the carpet might be cut and you will damage the entire carpet. After cutting apply and anti-fray glue on the frayed edges of the carpet.
Choose a heavy duty colour of the polyester thread that is identical to the colour of the carpet. Hold the thread against the carpet in order to compare the shades.
Use a six inches upholstery needle with thread tying a knot at the end of it.
Insert the needle through the bottom layer of the carpet approximately one half of an inch from the areas that the carpet has frayed. Now pull the thread through the carpet until the knot meets the bottom of the carpet.
Whip the stitches by pushing the needle from the back to the front of the carpet repeatedly. Create slanted stitches that loop around the edges of the fraying. Place the stitches next to each other so that each of them touches the previous one. Continue to whip stitching an inch past the end of fraying.
Carpet Bar
Trim the fuzzy, frayed carpet down to the height of the rest of the carpet. Do not forget to apply the anti-fray glue on the frayed edges.
Measure the width of the area of traffic with the help of a measuring tape and mark down the measurements on the carpet bar. Cut the carpet bar on the marks and trim it with a hacksaw if the bar is a metal or a wood saw for other metals.
Place the carpet bar over the fraying so that it completely covers the area. Now attach the carpet bar over the fraying so it completely covers the area. Attach the carpet bar to the floor with the help of a hammer or screwdriver, depending on the tools provided with the carpet bar.
Some Tips
The carpet bar is also known as threshold, which is a piece of metal or wood. It is used as a transition between the flooring in two rooms. It can also be cut so that it fits your doorway.
A hacksaw might leave sharp edges on the carpet bar. If you think you can smooth the edges with a metal knife.
Screws or nails that are not flush to the carpet bar might get snag socks, cut your feet or cause other injuries.
