The Edge – Flooring, Carpet Edging & Finishing

The Edge is the at-home arm of Smiths Carpets & Flooring – bringing our flooring ranges, samples and expert advice straight to your door. Alongside premium edging and bespoke stair runner finishing, we also offer a full at home flooring selection service, so customers can choose carpets and finishes in their own home.

Give your staircase a finishing touch that gets noticed. Our stair rods are suitable for both runner and fully fitted carpets, available in a choice of ten classic finishes to complement any interior.

Premium details that lift every staircase installation from simply done to beautifully finished. Choose from Skiffers, Easystuds and Stair Nosings – the small touches that make a lasting impression.

Elevate every threshold with our Premier range of luxury carpet trims. Available in five profiles and six premium finishes — including Chrome, Brushed Chrome, Polished Nickel, Pewter and Black.

Attractive radiator pipe covers designed so your flooring fits neatly inside, creating a subtle, seamless finish. Available in six heights from 3mm to 15mm, in Antique, Brass, Black and Chrome.

A well-edged carpet is the difference between a piece that looks finished and one that looks exceptional. The Edge offers professional carpet edging and binding across a wide range of carpets, offcuts, remnants and custom-cut pieces, in a broad choice of colours and styles. Whether you need a clean bound edge on a hallway runner or a neatly finished border on a bespoke mat, every piece is handled with the same care and attention to detail.

For a more traditional look, carpet whipping remains one of the most elegant ways to finish the edge of a mat or runner. Using high-quality yarns in a wide choice of colours, our whipped edges are neat, durable and beautifully crafted — adding a classic, artisan touch that machine-finished edges simply can’t replicate.

A stair runner changes the whole character of a hallway or landing, but the quality of the finish is what sets a truly luxury result apart from the rest. The Edge creates made-to-measure stair runners, professionally edged and finished for a perfect fit on every step. From the choice of carpet to the style of edging, every detail is tailored to your staircase and your home.

Don’t let good carpet go to waste. The Edge can transform carpet remnants and offcuts into beautifully finished rugs and mats in any size or shape you need. It’s a practical and creative solution that makes the most of premium materials — and the results are far removed from anything you’d find ready-made on a shop floor.

One of the most common challenges when choosing carpets and finishes is that showroom lighting and floor samples can only tell you so much. The Edge brings the decision-making into your home, where you can see exactly how colours, textures and finishes work with your existing décor, your natural light and your furniture. There’s no guesswork and no compromises — just the right choices made in the space where everything will actually live.

Great finishing starts with great materials. The Edge sources from the finest suppliers to bring you luxury edging yarns, high-end skiffers, stair rods and premium door bars — every component selected for quality, durability and appearance. The finishing service isn’t just about the carpet edge itself; it’s about elevating the whole space, from the bottom of the stairs to the threshold of every room.

Every mat, rug and stair runner created by The Edge is individually crafted. Shapes, sizes, edging styles and colours are all customised to order, which means no two pieces are ever quite the same. It’s a genuinely bespoke service, designed for customers who want something made properly — and made to last.

The Edge works with carpets from all the leading UK manufacturers, including Westex, Ulster, Penthouse, Victoria and Alternative Flooring.
