By using rug pads underneath all your rugs, you’ll improve the feel of your rug while also reducing wear. The padding absorbs the impact of footsteps that would otherwise destroy the fibers into the hard surface underneath it. Rug padding will also give the rug a more cushioned feel that will help reduce any shifting or movement of the rug.
There are several types of padding that can be used, depending on the size, type, and location of your rug.
For Large sized rugs, from about 7′x10′ and over, that are heavy enough that they don't move or slide, or are anchored down by furniture, we recommend our "Fiber" padding.
About 1/2″ thick
Made of bonded fibers from excess carpet scraps
Provides cushion to protect the rug and give added comfort
For Medium sized rugs, from about 4′ x 6′ and up, we recommend "Rug Stay Padding". It can also be used on large rugs that have a tendency to shift.
About 1/4″ thick
Made of bonded fibers from excess carpet scraps
One side is coated with rubber to provide non-slip qualities. The other side has a rough texture to help hold the rug in place.
Also provides cushion to protect the rug and give added comfort
For Small sized rugs, we have an "Anchor" padding. It is a 1/8″ thick solid rubber that helps hold small rugs in place. This pad is the best for non-slip qualities, but doesn't provide much cushion.
About 1/8″ thick
Made of solid rubber
Primarily used for small rugs or very thin larger rugs.
For area rugs located on wall to wall carpet, we have double-stick padding options to help keep your rug from buckling and shifting.
Most pads are cut to fit your rug, so no additional work is required when you receive the padding. You may even call in your padding order for pick-up at our store in Kensington.Contact us for more information, or to order a new padding for your rug.
