What are the companies that perform carpet repair?

The first rugs were animal skins that provided warmth. It was not until ancient Egypt that carpets began to be made from fabric made from natural materials. The tradition of rug making continued, using wool, linen and man-made fibres. Carpets are an important part of décor nowadays. There are times when your carpets will need to be repaired. Fortunately, there are companies that can help.

Persian, Turkish and Asian carpets

These intricate rugs date back centuries and originate in the Middle East and Asia. These carpets are knotted and feature intricate designs. Some companies which can perform Persian rug cleaning will be able to do Oriental rug repair as well - though this may not always be the case. Companies like the Kilim Shop do both cleaning and restoration work that could consist of repairing frayed edges with carpet seam tape and more. The Oriental Rug Repair Company specialises in the care of these beautiful rugs, but other carpets as well such as tribal carpets, tapestries and more.

Wall-to-wall carpets

By the late 1800s, wall-to-wall carpets began to become more popular. These began as painted floors that resembled carpet, newspapers shellacked and painted to look like carpet, floor cloths, then woven mats made of natural fibres. The Industrial Revolution made it possible to get substitutes for these inexpensive and time intensive coverings as well as the more expensive Persian and Turkish carpets by supplying the more reasonable rugs woven by power looms. The wall-to-wall carpet remains a popular option as a floor covering. However, even these durable carpets may need repair. Companies like London Carpet Repairs or the installers who put in your carpet, will be able to help. You may even be able to do some of the less complicated repairs yourself.

Modern carpet

These rugs can include ones made in the Middle East and Asia, but they could also encompass those made in the country and by local craftsmen with designs that can be abstract or traditional. Occasionally, these carpets may need to be repaired as well. Fortunately, there are companies that can help, such as The Rug Factory, Haliden and eRugs Direct. They can also repair Persian rugs as well.
