Rug Repair

Rug Repair

Behnam Rugs is a trusted member of the rug industry. Behnam Rugs repairs all sorts of antique rugs, Persian rugs, and Oriental handmade rugs. We do all rug repairs by hand, in-house. Our talented weavers can restore damaged fringe, close tears, patch holes sew new binding, and reweave areas damaged by moths, pets, or vacuums.

When a fine rug sustains damage, it is important to repair it sooner rather than later, as damage often grows over time. If the binding is unraveling, for example, immediate repair will save you money because otherwise the unraveling will continue due to cleaning, foot traffic, and other causes and be more expensive to fix. By catching it and bringing the rug in for repair as soon as possible, the damage cannot progress further. In cases of moth damage, this is true as well. The longer you wait to repair moth damage and kill the infestation, the more the moths will eat and the more patching or reweaving will be required.

What are My Repair Options?

If cost is an issue for you, many of our repair options solve the same problem at a range of price points. If your rug is quite valuable, you should opt for the repair option that will best preserve the rug. If your damaged rug has sentimental value but is not worth a lot of money, patching might be the way to go, as opposed to the more expensive option of reweaving. The level of labor that goes into repairs, as well as the skill required, affects the price.

In addition, binding repair can be done one of two ways: by hand by a skilled weaver, or with a machine. Handmade rugs, and valuable rugs, should always be repaired by hand. This preserves the authenticity of the rug as well as its value.

When fringe gets eaten by a vacuum cleaner or pet, or when time has aged the fringe and left it uneven and tangled, a new fringe is usually the way to go. Behnam Rugs sews new fringe into the body of handmade rugs, as this is the best way to make the transition seamless and retain value. In some cases, a fringe can simply be untangled and trimmed to repair the aesthetic.

Why Does My Rug Need Repairs?

Many handmade rugs have been through some tough times! Heavy traffic, pets, and vacuuming can damage your rug and raise the need for repair. It is advised to have your rug to be examined every few years when you take it in for professional cleaning. When you buy a brand new rug, we recommend getting it washed before placing it in your home or business. You never know under what circumstances the rug was made and shipped. Even new rugs can harbor dirt, pollen, and particulates accumulated during shipping.
