Benefits of Area Rug Pads
Choosing an area rug pad is a smart decision for anyone looking to maximize the life and performance of their area rugs and the floors they rest on. These often-overlooked essentials do much more than just keep your rug in place. A quality rug pad creates a vital protective layer, cushioning your rug's fibers from daily wear and preventing abrasive dirt from grinding into your beautiful hardwood or other hard surface flooring. Beyond protection, they enhance safety by preventing slips and trips, and add a luxurious feel by providing extra softness underfoot. It’s a small addition that makes a significant difference in preserving your overall flooring investment and ensuring lasting comfort.
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.
