Cutting exposes the backing and yarn bundles along the edge. Loop, patterned, woven, and other carpet constructions may be particularly vulnerable to raveling. The approved sealer is applied without contaminating the carpet face. Edge sealing supports seam durability but does not compensate for poor cutting, weak seam tape, or inaccurate pattern alignment.

Key considerations

  • seal carpet cut edges
  • carpet seam sealer
  • prevent carpet raveling
  • carpet edges
  • seam installation
