The Role of Area Rug Pads
A high-quality area rug pad is a small investment that makes a big difference in the performance and lifespan of your rug. Pads offer crucial benefits, including preventing slips and falls by keeping your rug firmly in place, providing an extra layer of cushioning for added comfort underfoot, and protecting your underlying floor from scratches or color transfer. Beyond comfort and safety, a good rug pad also helps absorb impact, reducing wear and tear on your rug and extending its beauty for years to come.
General Rug Pads
General rug pads are made from a slip-resistant webbed material and largely prevent your rug from sliding out from underneath you when you step on it. You can order a roll and cut it to size or order a pre-cut pad in the specific size you need.
Premium Rug Pads
Premium felt or polyester-blend pads are coated to help them stick to the floor, offering extra protection against movement. They also help to prevent scratches under the rug and are best for adding comfortable padding.
