At Carpet Overlock King, we're experts at turning leftover carpet into functional and beautiful pieces for homes across the Sunshine Coast. We recently completed a fantastic project for a client in Maleny who had three carpet off-cuts they wanted to make use of.
Rather than letting the off-cuts go to waste, this resourceful customer chose to give them a new purpose. The goal was to transform them into a set of custom-sized mats to serve different areas of their home.
Our team got to work, cutting each piece to the dimensions required:
One mat at 1.75m x 0.53m
One mat at 1.12m x 0.55m
Two smaller mats at 0.6m x 0.38m
With the cutting complete, the essential final step was to provide a professional finish with our signature overlocking using a wool that is a close colour match. This process, also known as carpet edging, provides a clean, durable border that prevents fraying and ensures the mats will last for years to come.

The result was a perfectly tailored set of mats that fit the client's home. This project is a great example of how our carpet overlocking services can provide a practical, sustainable, and custom solution for any home.



If you have carpet off-cuts or a specific vision for custom mats, rugs, or runners, we'd love to help! Get in touch with us to discuss your project right here on the Sunshine Coast. Return to Main Blog Page
