The Benefits of
Area rug pads are thin layers of material placed between your area rugs and your hard floors. While they might seem like a small addition, they offer a multitude of significant benefits. Primarily, rug pads protect your underlying floors from scratches, staining, and wear caused by the rug's backing and movement. They also prevent rugs from slipping and bunching, enhancing safety and preventing trips and falls. Rug pads can add an extra layer of cushioning underfoot, increasing comfort and reducing noise.
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.
