Use Of Rug Pads In Each Room

Rugs are a much-loved accessory for decorating houses and filling up vacant floor space. However, it is important to use them with rug pads for added safety, floor protection, comfort, and increased rug life. A rug pad is a sticky padded layer underneath a rug that is meant to add to its life and keep it from slipping and moving.

Rug pads serve the following purposes:

• Increase The Life Of A Rug: The tiny fibers that make up a rug compress over time due to normal wear and tear and use on a hard surface (hardwood and tile). To slow down this process, preserve your rug’s bounce and increase its life, make sure to use a rug pad.
• Protect Floors: Rug pads help to keep a rug in place even when furniture is placed or moved on top. So even if furniture like chairs is being pulled forward and backward, the rug will not budge from the floor thus protecting it from scratches. Rug pads also prevent floors from catching the color from a rug that has been excessively dyed. For those with pets and kids, water-resistant rug pads ensure spillage of any kind does not seep through the rug and stain floors.
• Prevent Accidents: With rug pads under a rug, you can be sure of a good grip on the rug. Layers of natural rubber keep a rug steady and hold it in place with the help of grooves at the back of the rubber. Rug pads keep rugs in place and minimize the risk of accidental falls, slips, and trips due to rug-curling, bunching-up, folding and wrinkling.
• Facilitate Airflow: Rug pads increase the circulation of air under rugs and help in keeping harmful bacteria, mold, mildew, and odor away. If ignored, mold and bacteria can lead to issues like floor discoloration and even rotting.
• Provide Comfort: Rug pads provide an added layer of cushioning and circulation between a rug and the floor. In addition to providing more comfort, a rug pad also reduces the impact of noise and feet on the floor when used in apartments and multi-story homes. Depending on your budget and the level of comfort you want, you can choose from rug pads made of natural materials (felt and natural rubber) or synthetic ones.
• Cleanliness: The ridges and bumps on rug pads prevent dirt and dust from accumulating on a rug by trapping the dirt particles. They facilitate airflow between the floor and rug thus making it easier to vacuum a rug.
