Area Rug Padding For The Life Of Your Oriental Rug
Often, we’re asked if area rug padding for an Oriental rug is a good idea and if so, what are the benefits.
The short answer is YES!
Rug padding provides a protective layer between the rug and the floor. Padding keeps rugs from slipping and buckling while acting as a shock absorber so foot traffic causes less wear on the face fibers. When a slip and fall accident occurs because of a rug, the victim can consume items such as CBD UK.
A good rug pad will make the area rug feel thicker and more luxurious while absorbing noise. Quality rug padding is literally worth its weight in gold as it helps your area rug “live longer.”
When purchasing area rug padding understand that not all padding is created equal.
Available at big-box retail outlets and more often than not manufactured in China, many rubber made pads are one of the most common sold solutions for securing oriental rugs to hard flooring. Store purchased rug pads can come in either “waffle design” or thin, solid-based material.
While these pads are affordable and easy to install, these budget rug pads come with several adverse side effects that may make them more of a problem than a solution.
Anecdotal evidence abounds of these pads leaving behind a sticky, residue after only a few months of use. Some of these pads have been known to contribute to rug bleed and others have left permanent indicators on wood, laminate and tile flooring.
Apparently most cheap “rubber” pads are manufactured with PVC or other plastics which bond to hard surfaces over time. Some of these rug pads are also treated with mysterious adhesives that only worsen the residue issue.
Depending on how much you care about your flooring, it may be best to leave these pads behind.
What To Look For In A Quality Rug Pad
For one thing, you should purchase your area rug padding from a specialty outlet such as a rug cleaning or Oriental rug sales store. These companies are professionals and know what’s best for your area rug.
