If you haven't been into DWP Carpet Binding's shop then you haven't seen the huge work table we have in house. The table is16 feet by 28 feet and stands at 3.5 feet tall. This improves our work for many reasons. The best feature of this table is the allowance of quality control!

| DWP Carpet Binding's 16 ft. by 28 ft. work table! |
The work space on the work table is pretty massive. There have been plenty of cases when a customer asked if they could use the table to cut their custom shaped carpets or larger area rugs. This has prevented them having to cut their carpet out in a drive-way or on the floor of a warehouse, that may or may not be clean. Cleanliness is important when dealing with carpets because even minor stains could ruin a carpet. Due to the size of our work table we hardly ever work with material on the floor.
We also have the luxury of working at waste height. This is beneficial to the sense of sight. Having the work at waste level makes it easier for us to check if there were any skips in the stitching throughout each side of the carpet. If we were working with pieces on the floor or using the typical set up of a roller system, checking for skipped stitches would be more difficult. Working with binding machines on a floor or a roller system can be back-breaking work due to the positions you're forced to work in. When a person is uncomfortable physically, they're less mentally aware, making the little mistakes much easier to sneak past them. Our table prevents us from having to bend over too much.
As previously mentioned, we have the ability to lay out larger area rugs without having to put them on the floor of a warehouse, or having to bend them in odd or awkward ways. This benefits in cutting the time that should be contributed to each job. If a binding shop was using the roller system, they have to bind one side of the carpet, roll it to the other side, bind the opposite, reverse roll it to the perpendicular side, bind the third side, roll it to the opposite side and finally bind the last side. Our work table and its size allows us to unroll the majority of carpets that come in for binding work, bind up the sides with minimal effort (there's little to no rolling & reverse rolling involved) then package it up for pick-up or delivery. It's much simpler and far faster than what carpet binding services have done in the past. That's not to say that every binding shop does their binding using a roller system or on the floor; surely every shop is set up to work to its best abilities as permitted with their space.
Many people who have seen DWP Carpet Binding's work table has been impressed. Not only for the size, but also for what it allows:
* quality control of any applied binding
* cleanliness, preventing us from working on the floor
* speed in completing jobs/ quicker turn around time
Due to its hidden qualities, our work table has been a great asset in contributing to the growth of our business and reputation amongst the flooring industry!
