How to obtain carpet
I have little experience in the acquisition of carpet and google
doesn't help much probably because I don't know the correct terms to enter. I have a room where I want to put what I'd call "office carpet" in one piece 8'6" wide by 16'6" long. I want the carpet to be thin, which is why I refer to "office carpet" and to have a rubber or similar non-slip backing. I won't be putting down any underlayment and the doors have to open over it. In addition I want it to be trimmed (hemmed? bound?) with a leather or vinyl border sewn over the edge around all four sides so it looks finished off. Color = a solid dark brown with a slightly darker brown border. Many years ago I used to have a car with exactly this type of carpet and border. I also want another piece in the same style 3' wide by 19' long. Please don't suggest rugs. No one makes rugs in those dimensions at anything like a reasonable price. And please don't suggest wall-to-wall. I have to be able to roll it up and take it with me. It cannot be attached to the floor in any way. So where do I find a description of this, in particular the trimming/binding/hemming preferably with some nice cheap prices? |

They will send you free samples, you order and they ship to you. Not sure if they can do the binding. Doesn't hurt to ask. http://www.ssmills.com/ Inviato da X-Privat.Org - Registrazione gratuita http://www.x-privat.org/join.php |
