Glen Eden which manufactures 100 percent New Zealand wool rugs and carpeting for residential and commercial environments, introduced just a new Carpet Line called BE.
Following the success of the recent introduction of Marquise II and Glen Eden’s love of the trellis, we can bring you BE.
BE is a loop pile trellis in some of the best color combinations we have seen in quite some time. Perfect for staircases, rugs or broadloom, this product has a coordinating solid loop pile border 12inches and making it perfect also for creating a custom sized area rug. The use of a loop pile construction gives you a greater sense of dimension and depth. It comes standard in 16 Colors but as with any product of Glen Eden, even small quantities in custom colors matched to your liking can be custom made.

BE is the perfect carpet for the traditional interior that makes up the majority of our carpet business. The color combinations are perfect in the way that they compliment today’s fine fabrics. What you get as an end result is a balanced product that is refined and sophisticated.

Stop by at our Retail Store the Final Touch Interiors, at 365 Elwood Avenue in Hawthorne, where you can view all Products from Glen Eden including the new Wool Carpet introduction called BE.

As our customers are ordering more Carpet Runners and Area Rugs for their Homes, we realized that our Carpet Workroom needed a new portable Carpet-Binder to improve our efficiency when working on the Job. Our old Carpet Binder just was not up to the Job anymore.
After talking to several Suppliers, we decided to get the new NC Millennium 2005 portable Carpet Binder.
Having bought from NC in the past several Products, like for our Drapery Workroom and our Carpet Workroom, we have been always very satisfied with their products and especially their customer support. And also their proximity to our Business Location was a big factor too.
Especially we have been very satisfied with their industrial TPB Carpet Binder. This workhorse is the world’s most capable carpet binder. It binds up to 3 inches, applies fringe, and even sews on serging tape. This bobbin-less, self oiling machine requires minimum maintenance and binds 4-5 times faster than conventional carpet binders. Powered by 2 independently driven clutches, this double puller handles dense, tough backed carpets with ease. The TPB is a lifetime machine designed to withstand multiple daily shifts in our Carpet Workroom. One of my best in investments, to get all Carpet Binding Jobs nice and perfect done.
Now to get back to the portable Millennium 2005; it is a quite interesting Binder which is bobinless, no more bobbins, just two large Spools of thread. It accommodates several different kind of Binding Tape including serging Tape an important factor.  And its speed is a phenomenal 23feet per minute (1380 feet per hour) on Cove Base. Last week we took the new Baby out for a run on a large Job. Instead of being on the Job for 2 days or having to bring the Carpet to our Workroom (an unnecessary step) to get the individual pieces bound, we got it done in one day. Not only was the Customer happy that we finished the job so fast, also my carpet installers were quite happy with a big job done so efficiently.
