Good day. I would like to hide the carpet transitions in my house... preferably without a strip, so it looks like one complete piece. I thought about possibly gluing fringes with superglue. Does anyone have an idea or experience? Thank you very much

Superglue bad idea. It becomes hard, crumbly and white. It only looks good to a limited extent, rather shitty. You won't get around a strip all the way around. Why pretend it's one piece when everyone knows it won't be one piece.

If you want to fix the "fringes" of your carpet with an adhesive, then you probably have a so-called "fringe carpet," colloquially also called "Shag velvet." In the transitions (it is never a roll material but individual pieces), you only need to brush it out, then you wouldn’t see any transition to a similar floor covering.
However, if it is a tufted product, you don’t need glue or similar, as the edges will not fray due to the backing integration into a carrier fabric.
If it is a loop pile, the situation is quite different. When cutting, some loops are inevitably cut - and they fray with mechanical effects (vacuuming, walking, etc.).
The tip with the superglue was good; it is also used by professional floor layers.
With long lengths, it is certainly a "Sisyphean" task, admittedly, but if the transition is finally "brushed up" again with a pile brush (I know the term doesn’t apply 100% to a loop pile!), one should not see a transition. Unless you crouch directly over it and observe your work :)

Good luck: KlaRa

I have uploaded some pictures of the carpet.

With high-pile carpets, I would definitely avoid edge reinforcement! The term "worse improvement" would certainly be justified then. If both textile coverings were installed in the same direction with the same manufacturing direction, the long pile can be easily brushed across edges. But edge reinforcement? Please, no! You won't achieve the results you expect. Regards: KlaRa

First of all, I would like to thank you for the great suggestions and ideas. How can I best brush the carpet?
