Rug Pad Use: There are a number of reasons you should always use a rug pad with your area rug. Safety: All rugs shift underfoot, including rugs with furniture placed on top of them. Rug pads are constructed to be less slick than the back of a typical rug, and some even include tacky surfaces to help anchor the rug more securely. This keeps the rug more stable under foot traffic, and also helps prevent bunching. Stability: When a rug shifts, it creates friction between the floor and the rug backing, which can cause premature wear. This can also cause damage to hardwood floors or tiles, particularly if dirt or debris gets under the rug. Not only do rug pads increase stability, but they also help keep rugs flat, which keeps dirt and debris from collecting under the rug. Ventilation: When rugs aren’t properly ventilated on the bottom, moisture can seep into the back of the rug and weaken it, as well as potentially causing mildew. Using a rug pad that allows for proper ventilation can help keep your rug cleaner and moisture-free. In addition, vacuum cleaners work much better on rugs when there is sufficient airflow underneath. Cushioning: Foot traffic continually presses rugs down into the floor, which causes continual wear and tear on the rug’s back and pile. Adding a layer of padding helps cushion the rug and lesson pressure, helping to prolong the rug’s life. In addition, the extra padding helps deaden sound in the room.

Rug Pad Installation: Once the rug pad is properly trimmed, place it where you want the rug to lie on the floor. Position the rolled-up rug on one end, with the edges evenly aligned to leave about an inch overlap on all sides. (Make sure your rug is straightly lined up with the pad.) Then, unroll the rug onto the pad, making sure that it lies flat without bunches.
