ᐅ Hiding carpet transitions without a trim strip

Good day.
I would like to hide the carpet transitions in my house... ideally without using a trim, so it looks like one continuous piece.
I was thinking about possibly gluing the fringes with superglue.

Does anyone have any ideas or experience?

Thank you very much

Superglue is a bad idea. It hardens, becomes brittle, and turns white. It only looks decent to a limited extent, mostly rather bad.
You will have to use a trim all around. Why pretend it’s one piece when everyone knows it won’t be one piece.

If you want to secure the “fringes” of your carpet with an adhesive, you probably have what is called a “fringe carpet,” also commonly known as “shag velour.” In the transitions (these are never broadloom carpets but individual pieces), you just need to brush out the fringes, and you won’t see any transition to a similar floor covering anymore.
However, if it is a tufted carpet, you don’t need any glue or similar products because the edges are secured by the backing fabric and will not fray.
If it is a loop pile carpet, the situation is quite different. When cutting, some loops will inevitably be cut, and the edges will fray over time due to mechanical stress (vacuuming, foot traffic, etc.).
The tip about using superglue is good and is actually used by professional floor installers.
For long edges, it is certainly a tedious task, admittedly, but if you brush the pile back up along the transition afterwards (I know the term doesn’t fully apply to loop pile carpets!), you shouldn’t see a transition—unless you’re sitting right above it closely observing your work 🙂

I uploaded some pictures of the carpet.

I would definitely advise against using edge reinforcement on high-pile carpet! The term "making things worse by trying to improve them" would certainly apply here. If both textile floor coverings are installed in the same direction according to the manufacturing grain, the long pile can be easily brushed over the edges without problems. But edge reinforcement? Please, no! It won’t achieve the result you’re hoping for.

First of all, I would like to thank you for the great suggestions and ideas.

What is the best way to brush the carpet?
