Frequently Asked Questions
| Q: | Why should I have a pad (underlayment) under my specialty rug? |
| |
| A: | A high quality pad (underlayment) will make your area rug much more secure and less likely to move or slip. If a pad is too thin and flimsy, it will not hold the rug as well, especially over time. For rugs placed over wall-to-wall carpeting, a pad with some body and stiffness is necessary to hold the rug in place, especially if the pile of the carpeting is plush or if there is heavy furniture on the rug.
The benefits of the proper pad placed under your Oriental or specialty rug include:
- Gripping power
to keep your area carpet firmly in place.
- Cushion
for comfort, impact resistance and reduced wear to your area carpet.
- Appearance and safety
your area carpet lays smooth and flat, avoiding tripping hazards.
- Flow-through ventilation
to allow your area carpet to breathe, resulting in easier, more effective vacuuming.
