Carpet and rug sizes

area rugs

Standard carpet widths are twenty-seven inches, three, nine, twelve, fifteen and eighteen feet. Four and one-half, six, and ten and a half foot widths are available in a limited selection.

The widest chenille loom in the United States is thirty feet. Handmade carpet can be made in any desired width.

"Lokweave" is a broadloom fabric in which the pile tufts are woven through to the back and anchored firmly into the warps and wefts with a plastic coating or sealer.

The cut edges cannot ravel so no binding or selvage is needed. Any two pieces of carpet can be butted together and fastened so securely with a strip of tape and more sealer that the surface seam is practi­cally invisible.
