Mooloolaba Carpet Overlocking: Custom Rug crafted from an Offcut for a Perfect Fit

We recently helped a customer in Mooloolaba, Sunshine Coast solve a common problem: what to do with large, high-quality carpet offcut after a new installation?

Instead of letting valuable piece of carpet go to waste, they engaged Carpet Overlock King to transform their offcut into a stunning, custom-sized rug - a truly sustainable solution.

The Custom Rug Transformation

The client wanted a large area rug to complement their new flooring and to put the offcut to use. We cut and straightened the sides of the carpet to 2.65m x 1.98m. The final step was our professional carpet overlocking (carpet edging). This ensures the rug has a clean, durable border that prevents fraying, giving it a polished look that rivals any store-bought piece.

Sustainable & Cost-Effective

This Mooloolaba project demonstrates the best of our service:

• Cost Savings: The customer received a beautiful, high-quality rug at a fraction of the cost of buying a comparable large rug ready-made.

• Perfect Fit: They got the exact size needed for their space, something that can be impossible to find off the shelf.

• Sustainability: The project maximizes material use and minimises waste - a win for the environment.

Our happy customers gave the following review:
