Exactly How to Seam a Woven Carpet

Every detail counts when it comes to seaming a woven carpet. Designers, make sure your installers:
1.) Use a sharp blade for a clean cut
2.) Use a seam sealer that dries clear
3.) Use a microwave iron and tractor to seam
4.) Go back and seal any loose ends that could pop up later on.

Missing the mark on just one of these steps can lead to a failed installation of an expensive product.
