Quality rug pads extend rug life, enhance comfort, and prevent slipping. Choosing the right pad depends on your rug type and flooring.
Benefits
Pads prevent slipping, reduce wear, add cushioning, protect floors, and allow air circulation that prevents mold and mildew.
Pad Types
Felt: Dense cushioning for hardwood floors.
Rubber: Superior grip for high-traffic areas.
Felt/Rubber Combination: Optimal cushioning and grip for most applications.
Sizing
Pads should be 1-2 inches smaller than the rug on all sides, preventing visible edges while providing full support.
Special Considerations
Radiant heated floors require heat-tolerant pads. Some floor finishes react with certain pad materials—check manufacturer recommendations.
