Every area rug needs a rug pad to proect and prolong the life of the rug. A quality rug pad prevents premature wear to any area rug, adds comfort to a hard floor, adds warmth to a cold floor, reduces noise on a nosiy floor and protects all floors from common damage. It is important to find the right rug pad to use under your style of rug and your type of floor. Since there are rug pads that can actually damage a floor, it is important to choose the right rug pad that is safe for your floor.
Area Rug Pad
An area rug pad is made for use under any area rug. The area rug pad works best when it is cut slightly smaller then the rug to allow the edges of the rug to relax on the floor. Area rug pads come in various types to include felt, rubber, plastic and nylon. At Rug Pad Corner, we carry only natural felt and rubber rug pads that are proven safe for any floor.
Rug Pad
Like an area rug pad, a rug pad will prolong the life of any rug and protect any floor. Rug pads, also called area rug pads, are made for use under area rugs that are not wall to wall, but in the middle of a room. A rug pad makes any rug feel more comfortable, warmer and can prevent slipping as well, so it provides safety. A good quality rubber rug pad will prevent any smaller or lighter rug from slipping. Rubber rug pads, unlike pastic ones, will not damage the floor and will not out-gas or smell.
Rug Pads Protect Area Rugs
An area rug is walked on and can have furniture sitting on it. The pile, or face. of the rug can get crushed and the back of the rug can rub and ear against the hard floor. A quality rug pad can resist the stress from this pressure and can help the pile of the rug withstand the crushing pressure as well as preventing wear to the baack of the rug. Most handmade rug are hand tied with the knots being on the back of the rug. A quality rug pad will prevent the knots to wear, which prolongs the life of the rug.
Rug Pads Protect Floors
A floor, particularly a wood floor, can become scratched and dented. The back of many rugs are rough and can scratch the floor when it is walked on. Furniture sitting on a rug can penetrate through the area rug and dent the floor. The rug pad acts as a barrier between the arera rug and floor to prevent any of this damage to the floor. The rug pad absorbs the stress that can occur to the floor.
If you use an area rug on a floor, it is best to use a rug pad under the rug. A quality rug pad can be felt, felt and rubber or all rubber. In any case, the rug pad will add protection, comfort and will prevent slipping on any floor.
