Edging Options
Serged Edge
(overlocked – example image below)
Serged Edge is a classic finish for a SynSisal® rug.
- A Serged Edge is a continuous wrap of yarn around the edges of the rug that binds the fibres and keeps your rug from unravelling.
- Yarns for the Serged Edge are chosen to match the colour of your rug.
- SynSisal® rugs are surged with durable ECONYL® 100% recycled yarns.
- Attached 2mm felt backing is included.
- Serged Edge shows the least amount on the face of the rug, approximately a 9.5mm finished width.
- Suitable for heavy residential use.
Infinity Edge
(example image below)
The Infinity Edge is a minimalist finish with folded edges and an attached rug pad.
- Maximum finished width for this border option is 3.9m. To construct the Infinity Edge border, approximately 100mm of material is folded under the rug on all sides.
- Edges are folded under to create a seamless and clean look.
- Attached non-slip rug pad is included
- The finished height ranges between 9-10mm depending on the thickness of the weave.
Wide Binding – 60mm
(example image below)
Made from UV Stabilised Polyester, this border is a synthetic textile that looks similar to natural cotton but has many unique, durable features.
- This UV stabilised polyester border will resist fading from sunlight.
- It is tough and easy to clean – spills and stains wipe up with a clean, damp cloth.
- Polyester is slightly smoother than cotton but with all the texture of the natural fibre.
- Corners can be mitred (LHS image) or squared (RHS image).
- Available in 5 colours to complement your custom rug.
- Attached 2mm felt backing is included.
- Please note that the applied border will not add any extra width to your custom rug, but rather show more border material on the face of the rug.
Narrow Binding – 10-12mm
(example images below – Polyester & Twill)
Made from UV Stabilized Polyester or Twill, this border is an elegant edge solution.
- This UV stabilized border will resist fading from sunlight.
- Polyester is slightly more transparent than Twill – colour options will vary between the two options.
- Available colours to complement your custom rug.
- Attached 2mm felt backing is included.
- Please note that the applied border will not add any extra width to your custom rug, but rather show more border material on the face of the rug.
Shape Options
- Rectangles
- Circles
- Rectangles with radius

Rug Placement
Unroll your SynSisal Rug and allow it to acclimatise for 24 – 48 hours after arrival to help settle any curling of the edges before placing furniture on top.
If edges are still curling after the required acclimatisation period, back-rolling the edges in the opposite direction of the curling will speed up the settling process.
If curling is still apparent and/or you have concerns, please contact us at rugs@gibbongroup.com.au.
