As of July 1. 2015, we are including a set of our best selling DURA-GRIP furniture grippers with every rug pad order at no charge – It’s our way of saying “Thank You” for our customers’ patronage. DURA-GRIP® is our exclusive gripper pad that truly stops all furniture from sliding and now every Rug Pad Corner customer can enjoy the benefits of this product as we include a set of 3″ square pads with your rug pad order, no minimum.

With years of experience in the area rug, flooring and rug padding industries, we have had thousands of requests for a product that stops furniture from sliding on a hard floor surface. One of the most common pieces of furniture causing issues is a sectional sofa – Due to size and weight, a sectional sofa easily slides across a floor and this can cause damage to the floor and any close walls. After much trial and error and two years of testing, we finally perfected DURA-GRIP® – Our exclusive furniture gripper pad that is placed under any furniture leg to effectively prevent moving and sliding. Since its inception, we have shipped more than 500,000 sets of DURA-GRIP® to customers in The United States, Canada and Australia.

As a “Thank You” to our rug pad customers, we have decided to include a free set of DURA-GRIP® with every order starting July 1. 2015. The set includes four pieces of our 3″ square gripper pads, a very popular size and shape that seems to fit under many types of furniture. “We discovered that many customers place an order without knowledge of the fact that we offer DURA-GRIP®”, states Sam our founder. “So, we decided to include a free set to every customer so that they can realize the benefits of our product”. Sam explains that when some customers realize the affects of DURA-GRIP®, they desire to buy more and offer protection to their floors.

DURA-GRIP® is so effective that it serves a few purposes. It is most known for its ability to stop all furniture from sliding on all floors – This is a big accomplishment, as many homeowners constantly deal with the issue of their furniture sliding and moving on their floor. The other purpose for using DURA-GRIP® is that fact that it serves as an excellent floor protector – As it prevents furniture movement, it is also protecting the floor against possible damage, such as scratches and dents from furniture. Overall, DURA-GRIP® offers excellent protection against a few potential problems and is a pad safe for hardwood and all types of floors.

When a customer places their order on Rug Pad Corner, they will notice a message that states the order comes with a free set of DURA-GRIP® – There is nothing that the customer needs to do, as the DURA-GRIP® pads will be automatically included in the order. Once we cut each rug pad order, we will include a set of 3″ square DURA-GRIP® within the same package. When the order is delivered and the customer unwraps the package, the DURA-GRIP® will be visible and ready to unwrap and use. Customers can simply place one gripper pad under each furniture leg. Since the free set includes four pads, this is popular for chairs or any furniture with four legs. If more is needed, customers can visit the web site or call to place an order. DURA-GRIP® pads range from $8.99 to $49.99, depending on size and number of pieces in package.

In a previous post, we discussed the fact that we use a Heat Pressing Process to reinforce our felt rug pads, where others use adhesive. Since then, we have discovered that some sellers are advertising their products as being “Heat Pressed”, when unfortunately this is not the case.

The method of Heat Pressing rug pads is a costly and rare process that took years for us to refine – It is so specific and limited that we even registered a mark for RPC Heat Pressed® with the United States Patent and Trademark Office in order to protect the name and process. We felt the need for this protection due to the fact that the Internet makes it quite easy for others to duplicate our content and without the proper protection, we were concerned that we may see our terms on other web sites. Apparently, part of this is true, as we discovered a few sellers using the term “Heat Pressed” in reference to their felt rug pads.

The rubber in our Ultra Premium® Rug Pad is Heat Pressed to the felt, avoiding the use of any adhesive or chemical found in other pads.

Heat Pressing is a process used to avoid the content of adhesive and chemicals within rug pads. Imagine a felt rug pad that is compressed into a certain thickness. The fibers within the pad can sometimes shed and fall apart, creating the need for reinforcement. All other manufacturers and sellers use an adhesive coating on each surface of their padding – The adhesive acts as a bonding agent that when dry, holds the fibers of the rug pad together to prevent shedding. While this hold is essential in the use of the rug pad, unfortunately adhesives are known to weaken the fibers, as well as cause damage to floors, off-gas and smell. Rug Pad Corner always knew we wanted to avoid any adhesive, so we developed an intense Heat Pressing process exclusive to us, hence the trademark RPC Heat Pressed®.

Our followers, customers and readers have always seen us offer as much knowledge and information about our products and about the area rug and rug pad industries in general. In keeping with this business model of information, we felt the need to make our readers aware of the fact that some (very few) sellers are referring to their products as being “Heat Pressed”, when in actuality they are coated with the same adhesive as all other suppliers offer. “One drawback of the Internet is that it easily allows competitors within an industry to “copy” information from one web site to their own”, states Sam Kaoud, our founder. “This deceitful method of advertising is not only unethical, it also is simply wrongful behavior towards potential customers of your products.” Sam explains that every seller of any product should only describe it to be what it is, nothing less and nothing more. Unfortunately, there are some sellers who offer information based on what they know customers want to see and believe, hence the false product descriptions.

“Unfortunately, the Internet makes it easy for sellers to say what customers want to hear – It’s important to know that not everything you read online is true.” – Sam The Rug Pad Man

An important thing to know when considering rug pads is that most pads are made with some adhesive within the manufacture of the products and the sellers have no control over this. It is just as important to know that since most online merchants control the information available in their web site, that they easily manipulate product descriptions to their advantage to result in more sales. Lastly, equally as important is the fact that we, Rug Pad Corner, will continue to monitor the industry and to alert our readers of any false representations of products, something the readers have a right to.

Our Ultra Premium and Superior rug pads are the ones we offer that contain felt and the ones that incorporate the RPC Heat Pressing® Process – Once compressed into its pile, the rug pad then undergoes an intense heat pressing to keep the fibers together for many years. Fortunately, due to the genuine nature of our process, we had the right to register it with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, a feature of which our customers should be aware and one that should bring peace-of-mind as they use our rug pads on their floors. We know that all of us here at Rug Pad Corner can sleep better knowing our customers’ floors are completely safe using any of our rug pads – We wonder what other sellers can honestly say this!

(Note from Sam Kaoud: A part of the review process to be approved for inclusion in this process involved very stringent product review. Our Super Hold, like all of our other rug pads, passed every test, to include natural materials, safety to the air and safety to the floor. We are proud to have passed and been chosen to be a part of this extraordinary project and to be endorsed by Houzz.)

Our rug pads are desired by various consumers, to include interior designers, architects, builders and rug dealers and we are always happy to accommodate all types of customers. We can now include Movie Celebrities to our list of those customers requesting our rug pads, as can be seen by Ashton Kutcher’s recent basement makeover for his mother.

In conjunction with the popular online home furnishings resource, Houzz, Ashton Kutcher surprises his mother with the makeover of the basement of her Homestead, Iowa home, the same home in which Ashton was raised and the one in which his mother and step-father still live. The makeover involved a complete gutting of what was once a gloomy and outdated basement, only to to transformed into a modern and fresher looking living space.

We have always offered our rug pad orders with free shipping within the contiguous United States and 30 day returns, with return shipping the responsibility of the customer. We are happy to announce today that we have revised our Return Policy to state that returns are accepted within 30 days and return shipping is now free.

There is always an incentive to buy your rug pads from Rug Pad Corner and the first one is the fact that our rug pads are like no other – The finest materials and construction safe for all floors and homes. Today, we are happy to offer another incentive and that is the fact that any return is now free shipping – Rug Pad Corner will pay for the return shipping charges. This very welcomed part of our Return Policy comes after much demand from some customers and we listened – Effective April 15, 2015, there are no return charges if you need to return your order to us, for any reason at all.

“I think one of the biggest surprises to our customers when they place their first rug pad order is that fact that shipping is free”, states Sam, managing member of Rug Pad Corner. “I am sure that the same customers will now be equally surprised and pleased to know that returns won’t cost them anything either!” Sam explains that there are customers who ask how much shipping will be if they need to return their item – the answer now with the new Return Policy is that shipping is no charge and the staff at Rug Pad Corner is looking forward to saying this to more and more customers.

Customers normally pay astronomical fees for return shipping and this has always bothered us at Rug Pad Corner – So bothersome, that we often offer customers our return shipping rates that are simply deducted from their final refund. This fact alone makes it that much more satisfying to now offer Free return shipping – Customers will no longer need to struggle with high UPS, FedEx or USPS shipping rates. “It may sound ironic, yet based on the fact that we will be making the ordering process even more comfortable for customers, we’re actually happy to pay for any return shipping that needs to be paid for”, says Sam.

Returns at Rug Pad Corner comprise less than 1 percent of sales, considerably lower than the e-commerce standard of 10%. This means that for every 1000 rug pads shipped and delivered, only about 10 may be returned, whereas the e-commerce norm states more like 100 items can be returned. Considering this fact, Rug Pad Corner is pleased to pay for its customers’ return shipping.

If you have shopped Rug Pad Corner already, then you know how simple and easy ordering your rug pads actually is. In the event you now need to return part or all of your order, as long as you purchased it April 15, 2015 or later, you will also see how easy and simple that is – Just send an email and we will reply with the return instructions and pre-paid return label. Shopping for your rug pads has literally never been easier.

As if there weren’t enough reasons to trust Rug Pad Corner for your rug pad needs, we give you one more!

The Rug Pad Retailer of the Year award is sponsored by Rug Pad Retailers of America and is based on several criteria – The store’s commitment to customer service, the materials within its rug pads, prompt and reliable shipping, as well as value driven prices on rug pad offerings. Based on this criteria, more than 100 interior designers, customers, rug stores and architects voted and Rug Pad Corner was voted as Retailer of the Year.

The following results were recorded on March 30, 2015, and are related to Rug Pad Corner’s results based on a consistent score of 5/5:

In an industry where products are commonly misrepresented, it is reassuring to know that our followers appreciate what we actually offer – Genuine natural American-made rug pads without any chemicals, plastics or adhesives.

Rug Pad Corner and its family of members stem from all aspects of the flooring industry and we are committed to maintaining our promise of manufacturing natural rug pads made without the common additives that can harm the floor and air we breath.

Due to increased demand for our products from countries such as England and Australia, we have recently added the feature of International ordering on our web site. Effective March 1, 2015, customers from England and Australia can now purchase rug pads and get them shipped to them, with no customs charges on orders under $1000 to Australia.

Rug Pad Corner ships thousands of packages a month within the contiguous United States and in 2014 we added shipping to Canada. With an increased demand for our products to other countries, the shipping to Canada has proven very successful. During the last few months, we have also seen interest from residents of England and Australia with several email inquiries for our products from those countries. After much review and consideration, as well as negotiations with our shipping carrier, UPS, we are pleased to announce the addition of international shipping.

There are many homes using area rugs on hardwood floors in Canada, England and Australia. This, along with the fact that a supply of quality rug pads is almost non-existent in those countries, created this opportunity for Rug Pad Corner. After receiving and reading multiple email requests from residents in those countries, we decided that there should be no reason why those homeowners and renters cannot enjoy the benefits of our rug pads on their floors. In early 2014, with the North American Free Trade Agreement, we started offering and shipping rug pads to Canada. Since our rug pads are American-Made, our deliveries to Canada are exempt from Customs and Duties, a very nice feature for those residents. Based on the amount of orders shipped to Canada last year, along with the increased demand for rug pads from the other countries, we finally decided to start shipping to England and Australia.

Orders and deliveries of rug pads to Australia are exempt from that government’s Customs and Duties if the order is under a $1000 value. So, many Australian residents can now benefit from the protection of our rug pads with a door-to-door delivery as if the order is being shipped domestically. If an order exceeds $1000, then standard Customs and Duties charges apply. For those United Kingdom residents, delivery of our rug pads involves standard Customs and duties. In either case, the fact that residents from these international areas can benefit from the protection and safety of our rug pads is a huge benefit when considering their very limited local shopping options.

Rug Pad Corner continues to offer the finest natural quality rug pads with free shipping to addresses within the contiguous United States. Happily, we now also offer these same rug pads to residents of Canada, Australia and England – Customers pay the same product prices as our domestic customers with the shipping charge added to these prices. We are extremely pleased to know that those customers within Canada and Australia are able to enjoy our deliveries with no extra charge of Customs or Duties, making it more possible than ever to reap the benefits of our rug pads.

Rug Pad Corner is happy to announce that we are now shipping rug pads to Canada. Canadian residents can now benefit from our rug pads with no customs or duties to be paid on any of our rug pad shipments.

Canada offers an excellent market for our rug pads, as many residents have homes with hardwood floors covered with area rugs. And, with a colder climate in winter months, the demand in Canada for area rugs and rug pads is greater than other regions. Each one of our rug pads can now be shipped to Canada via UPS with the added benefit of not having to worry about Canadian Customs or Duties charges. Since we offer genuine American-made rug pads, we follow the NAFTA, or North American Free Trade Agreement – This agreement allows us to ship our American-made rug pads into Canada without the receivers having to incur extra customs or duties expenses.

No Customs or Duties on Canadian Deliveries

Our rug pad prices are the same for our United States and Canada orders with only one difference – There is a shipping cost that must be paid to ship the orders into Canada. This shipping cost is simply the cost that UPS requires to ship each order and we do not add any surcharges or premiums to this cost. Once a Canadian customer places their order on our web site and pays the item cost and shipping, there are no other charges – The order is processed and shipped door-to-door without any delays, just as if it was being shipped within the United States. Canadian customers can now benefit from our American-made products in more than one way, particularly without the need to pay extra government fees for delivery.

Rug Pad Corner ships rug pads within the United States, Hawaii and now Canada. Just like with our U.S. orders, orders to Canada are available as rug pads in standard sizes and custom sizes. Canadian customers can choose from our rug pads online and request to have them custom cut based on their rug sizes. There is no extra charge for custom rug pads and no delay in processing the orders. Most of our rug pad orders are custom cut and this is a regular part of business for us. Rug pads shipping to Canada include our Ultra Premium felt and rubber, our Superior all felt, our Super Hold natural rubber and No-Muv rug on carpet pad. Every product we offer is available to ship to Canada in every size and shape that we offer.

For quite some time, we have had many requests to ship our rug pads to Canada and one of the main restraints we encountered was that Canadian deliveries were subject to extra fees. Now that our products are covered by NAFTA, we are proud to be able to offer our products and service to Canadian customers without the need for them to pay extra for government import fees. In regards to the UPS shipping fee, since there is an extra shipping cost to deliver to Canada, this is the only extra cost to customers. Our Canadian visitors can read more about shipping to Canada at the Rug Pad Corner Canada Shipping Page.

Since we developed it, more than 500,000 sets of DURA-GRIP have been shipped across the United States, Canada and Australia. Our furniture gripper pad is helping thousands of people with the common problem of furniture slipping on the floor.

What was once a simple little pad that effectively stops furniture from slipping and sliding on any hard floor has now evolved into a household name. Based on its effectiveness, DURA-GRIP has attracted homeowners and business owners from across the nation and abroad as one of the best ways to prevent furniture moving and damaging floors. Originally promoted as a furniture gripper to use under various pieces of furniture, DURA-GRIP has evolved to now being used under furniture, objects of art, medical equipment and washing machines, to name some of them.

DURA-GRIP In The U.S. and Further

In 2011, we started offering DURA-GRIP to customers in the United States. In a short time, word spread on the effectiveness of this furniture gripper pad and hundreds of orders every month soon turned into thousands per month. We received hundreds of positive customer feedback, as well as requests from other parts of the world, namely Canada, England and Australia. Based on our aggressive shipping affiliations, we pursued these countries and we started shipping our first sets to Canada, Australia and England with lower than expected shipping rates. Our DURA-GRIP is now proudly being used in homes across the world and we intend to expand on this as more international requests are received.

Furniture and More

We created DURA-GRIP to use under common furniture that caused severe slipping issues, namely sectional sofas and recliner chairs. While the bulk of orders in the first year were used under such pieces of furniture, customers began to experiment to use it under other objects, such as medial equipment, washing machines and the like. A medical office looking for a solution to prevent their machines from vibrating against the floor ordered a trial set. Based on the success of the pad, more and more sets were ordered and DURA-GRIP uses were extended to businesses as well. The same test was used under dancing washing machine to discover that DURA-GRIP kept those machines in place and prevented the common noise and vibration of the feel against the floor. In a short time, our DURA-GRIP gripper pads were being ordered for various uses related to stopping items moving, vibrating and making noise against any hard floor surface.

Made From Recycled Materials

Perhaps one of the best features of our DURA-GRIP pads is how they are made. We use excess scraps from our rug pad orders and instead of disposing of them, we actually re-use them to produce DURA-GRIP. Perfectly new and unused material is prepared to go through our normal manufacturing process to produce all sizes and shapes of our DURA-GRIP furniture grippers. We are very proud to maintain our greener commitment with the manufacture of DURA-GRIP and you can be assured of a product that is made with thoughts of preserving the environment.

Over 500,000 homes across the United States, Canada and some other areas of the world have enjoyed the effective power of DURA-GRIP to stop their furniture from sliding all over the floor. This common problem has been causing frustration among homeowners, as furniture is always being misplaced and floors and walls are being damaged – Until the arrival of DURA-GRIP. With these gripper pads under any furniture leg, there is no more moving, sliding or damage to any floor or wall.

Handmade rugs are truly works of art and it seems the older they are, the more they are worth. Antique rugs that are properly cared for can be worth much more than when they were new and there are a few reasons for this.

When we refer to Antique Rugs, we mean those that are handmade from various parts of the world. Perhaps the most popular origin of today’s Antique Rugs is Iran, or what used to be called Persia, hence the term Persian Rugs.While Iran was the largest producing country for fine handmade rugs, other countries, such as Turkey, capitalized on their weaving talents as well. In the realistic sense, an Antique Rug is one that is at least 100 years old. Since it is difficult to find rugs at least this age, many dealers and collectors start calling a rug an Antique when it is at least 80 years old.

Handmade and Meant to Last

Today’s Antique Rugs are valuable because they are handmade. Skillful artisans actually sat on a loom to weave the rug that could have taken the better part of a year to make. Depending on their intentions, the weavers would weave their design based on various criteria and each design elements was different from the other – Adding to the charm and character of a genuine handmade rug.

On a loom made up of a grid of cotton from left to right and top to bottom, weavers hand tie each piece of fabric, in most cases wool, around the foundation. The top of this becomes the pile of the rug and the bottom, or knot, becomes the back of the rug. You will notice that with handmade rugs, the design and colors come through to the back and this is a reflection of the knots. As the weavers knot the fabric from left to right, they slowly work row on top of row, packing the fabric down after several rows. With each hand tied knot, the weavers are referring to a hand drawing of the final rug design – So talented that they can actually look to their side at the design and transfer what they see onto the loom through each hand tied knot.

Better With Use

When the rug is finally complete and ready for use, it is used on the floor and should be walked on. Remembering the method of packing down the rows of knots, with each foot step on the rug, pressure forces the knots of the rug to become even tighter. This is the reason old fashioned rug dealers are often heard saying a handmade rug only gets better with use – As it is walked on, this actually adds to the density as the pressure forces the knots to get even closer. Handmade rugs are some of the rare items that actually get finer, or better, with age and use. Unlike their machine made counterparts that flatten and look used quite quickly, finer hand knotted rugs appreciate in value and appearance with time.

One-Of-A-Kind

Perhaps one of the most unique facets of today’s Antique Rugs is that each one is truly one-of-a-kind! This means that there are not two identical rugs made. Based on the fact that each rug was handmade by different weavers, or even if the same weavers finished one rug and started another, it is impossible for the design and colors to be identical from one rug to the other. This fact adds great value to the rug, unlike machine made rugs that are perfectly woven, identical by the hundreds or thousands. Just like a rare signed oil painting, a quality handmade rug becomes more valuable based on it uniqueness.

Lack Of Technology Adds To The Value

Today, unlike that of years ago, technology plays a role even in the art of handmade rugs. Somehow during some part of the production of new handmade rugs, there is some technology involved. It can be a machine packing down the rows of hand tied knots, or it can be a machine that clips the face fibers of the rug when it is complete – In any case, some machinery is used in the making of handmade rugs today that was non existent in the making of rugs of years ago, making Antique Rugs today even more valuable and rare. For a change, a lack in technology when those rugs were being made actually means a greater value lies within each rug.

While rugs are viewed as floor coverings to be walked on, Antique Rugs also take on another meaning – They are true works of art that are considered to be actual investments. If you are fortunate enough to possess one of these rugs, it is imperative that you take care of the rug with routine cleaning, rotation of the rug and use of a proper rug pad. All of these factors can result in many more years of life even to rugs that are over one hundred years old today. Remember, your Antique Rug cannot be duplicated, so enjoy and appreciate it for what it is – A unique heirloom.
