Signs Your Oriental Rug Needs Repair
A fine oriental rug is a work of art meant to last for generations. With the right care, it can be passed down through a family with pride.
Arslanian Bros. helps owners protect these treasures with skilled rug repair. Knowing when a rug needs attention keeps small issues from becoming major damage. A few key signs are always worth watching for.
Fraying or Worn Edges
The edges of a rug take on a lot of stress. Over time, the binding and fringe can begin to fray. Loose threads along the border are an early warning sign. Left alone, that fraying spreads into the body of the rug. Prompt repair keeps the damage contained and the rug intact.
Thinning or Bald Spots
Years of foot traffic gradually wear down the pile. You may notice areas that look noticeably thin or flat. In some spots, the foundation of the rug may start to show. These worn patches weaken the overall structure. Skilled reweaving can restore both strength and appearance.
Curling Corners or Buckling
A rug should lie flat and smooth against the floor. Corners that curl or ripples that form signal trouble. These issues can create tripping hazards in the home. They also cause uneven wear across the surface over time. Careful repair work brings the rug back to a safe, flat state.
Damage From Moths or Spills
Natural fibers are vulnerable to more than just foot traffic. Moths can quietly damage wool over long periods. Old spills may leave weakened or discolored areas behind. Catching this kind of damage early makes repair far easier. A trained professional eye can spot what an owner might miss.
