Pile implantation

Pile implantation is a specialized technique for restoring worn areas on high value handmade carpets. Over time and with continued use, certain areas of the carpet, especially those subject to more stress, may show wear on the pile, revealing the weave or knots in the carpet. In such cases, the pile implant offers an effective solution to restore the original appearance and functionality of the carpet.

The process starts with choosing hair that perfectly matches the density and colours of the existing carpet. This hair is dyed appropriately to achieve the desired shade. Then, the new fibres are implanted in the worn areas, following the original carpet construction style. After the implantation is completed, the carpet is carefully mowed so that the new pile is flush with the rest of the carpet, ensuring uniformity and aesthetic harmony.

Pile implantation is mainly recommended for carpets that, apart from the specific damage, are in good general condition and have significant value. By applying this method, the authenticity and value of the carpet is preserved, while its lifespan is extended. It is important that the process is carried out by qualified professionals with experience in handmade carpet repair to ensure the best result.

In summary, pile implantation is a specialized and effective solution for the restoration of worn areas on high value handmade carpets, helping to maintain their beauty and functionality for many years.
