Benefits of Rug Pads
While a beautiful area rug can transform the look and feel of your home, adding a rug pad underneath provides a layer of protection and functionality you can't afford to overlook. Rug pads offer a multitude of benefits that enhance the overall experience of your area rugs, from extending their lifespan and preventing slips to adding cushioning and improving noise reduction. In essence, a rug pad is an investment that optimizes the comfort, safety, and performance of your area rugs 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.
