Expert Rug Tip Shearing in Albany

What is Rug Tip Shearing?

Rug tip shearing is a specialized technique used to restore the surface appearance of a rug that has been worn down by various factors. This process involves carefully trimming the tips of the rug’s pile to remove any damaged or faded yarn. The result is a rejuvenated rug that looks and feels like new, with restored colors and a smoother, more even surface.

Tip shearing is particularly beneficial for rugs that have suffered from light fading, chemical damage, or sprouting tufts. By removing just a tiny fraction of the yarn’s tips, we can restore the rug’s original vibrancy and pattern.

Rug Shearing Process at Jafri Oriental Rugs

Our rug tip shearing process is a delicate and deliberate procedure, requiring expert precision and a deep understanding of rug construction. Before we begin shearing, each rug undergoes a thorough cleaning to remove dirt, dust, and debris that could damage the shearing equipment. Once cleaned, our skilled technicians carefully shave the tips of the rug’s pile, ensuring an even and consistent result.

Depending on your preferences, we can also adjust the pile height during the shearing process. For example, if you have a thick pile rug that no longer suits your decor, we can reduce its thickness to give it a more contemporary look. Conversely, if you’re looking to accentuate the rug’s texture, we can selectively shear certain areas to create a more defined pattern.
