Instabind Premium Carpet Edge Binding – Regular Style Carpet Edge Trim for Do-It-Yourself Rug Edging- with Durable Hold & Easy Finishing for Rug Edges - USA Made Flooring Products – 54 ft Roll, Grey

Surprisingly impressed with how easy it was to customize my rug! My kitchen is galley style, so a runner would be way too skinny. I found a 5x7 rug and trimmed that on one edge and then purchased the Buckskin color binding. I only did one side (might do the other) but it honestly doesn’t look too bad! Important to note that you’ll need a glue gun and fabric glue sticks. I just used my cheap one for crafting and purchased some fabric glue sticks. Hardest part was actually cutting a woven rug, but worked perfectly!

Had a large leftover (8x12) from a room wall to wall install. Used the instabind to convert the leftover to use as an area rug in another room. The binding process with this product was a breeze and looks professional. A clean straight carpet edge and a thin glue nozzle is a must! Really impressed with this this system.

Product works well. Easy to work with. Adhesive could be a little more sticky.

We have used this rug binding before and it always meets out expectations. Great Adhesive and durability over the years. Easy to apply and looks so nice afterwards. We are not professionals, but it is fun to try to create such a good looking product.

I didn’t want to pay for a customer area run for our living space. I needed an odd size- 12’x17’4”. So I went to Lowe’s and chose a 12’ wide cut to length rug that I had to bind myself for our living room. I attached pictures to show how easy it it and how good it looks! I did purchase a Ryobi cordless hot glue gun to be able to go around the whole area with ease. I will say I used extra hot glue along with the adhesive to be sure it would last our family a long time incase the adhesive wasn’t strong enough. It’s made from a durable material and very easy to use after watching the video. I got a high pile carpet and the thickness is perfect around the edge. I chose the beige color and it’s PERFECT. Instead of spending $1600 on a custom bound area rug- I was able to do it myself and the total cost of my project was $450! If you ever need to buy an area rug but you’re on a budget. I highly recommend InstaBind!

I was very skeptical about my ability to take a piece of remnant carpeting and make it into an area rug. The instructions provided were easy to understand and follow. I was armed and ready with my glue gun and the process went very quickly. The area rug was approximately 8'x9' and I finished the project within an hour or so. The only problem I encountered was user error with the glue gun as I accidentally turned it off during the process. The product matched perfectly, and it looks as if it was made as an area rug!

hard to use

I had to take up my subfloor to do some insulating, but I had just put down new carpet within the past few years. I really didn’t want to waste the carpet considering there is nothing wrong with it. This product was really easy to use and my custom rug will look great over the hardwood once installed. I recommend watching the 20 minute YouTube video of the guy in military clothing doing it. I also recommend using a hot glue designed for fabrics as it will give it the flexibility it needs.

I used this to convert an existing fitted stair carpet into a stair runner. Although easy to use, the process did take quite some time to complete due to the length of the carpet and the need to hot glue between the edge of the carpet and the binding; I found it easiest to use a hot glue gun with a long nozzle to get into the gap and complete 6" at a time. As I was applying the binding to a carpet that had been laid for a couple of years some of the pile had naturally flattened so it was not always easy to achieve a really neat edge with the binding - would certainly work much better with new/unused carpet. Overall I think it is a good product, good value and I'm happy with the finished result. Delivery was also a lot quicker than expected.

Very happy with it.

This product works well for the jobs it’s intended for I did my whole caravan carpets and it looks well

Just 6 bucks more than buying right from the manufacturer so price is fair. Easy Easy Easy install. Just need a good glue gun and have to buy the long tip to get a clean job. Not a better product t\for DYI' ers. Simple to do. UPDATE: Got the long tips for glue gun. Simple simple simple installation and looks as good as factory. Take your time with the hot glue with 12" sections at a time and make sure the gun is very hot. This was a breeze. Watch the product video it makes things easy.

Instructions next to useless went to u tube to get decent instructions. Very expensive could get a small rug for the £80 price. Binding is far to small only 7mm by 5mm whereas my rug binding is15mm by 10mm generally very disappointed. Would not recommend.
