The Importance Of A Good Quality Area Rug Pad
Since we are experts on all things area rugs and flooring, our expertise definitely includes rug pads. We know that properly caring for your area rug, and the flooring beneath it, starts and ends with a good quality area rug pad.
As rug and flooring experts, we've seen first-hand the damage that can occur to our customer's rugs and/or flooring, when the wrong rug pad is used, or one isn't used at all. This damage can range from minor stickiness, and the minor breakdown of a rug pad, to permanently damaged area rugs and flooring that will need to be refinished or replaced.
As mentioned, the degrees of damage can vary, but regardless, it should all be taken seriously. Most customers will buy the cheapest pad on the market, just to save a few dollars, and then will end up spending thousands to replace or refinish their floors. Yes, all because of one cheap little rug pad. Below you can see three different severities of floor damage:
Moderate Damage
More Severe Damage
Most Severe Damage
On the left (moderate damage), you can see that the use of a poor quality pad left markings on the hardwood floor.
In the second picture (more severe damage), you can see that the low quality rug pad began to break down and deteriorate, leaving permanent residue of the rug pad on the hardwood flooring.
Lastly, as you can see in the third picture (most severe damage), the area rug deteriorated along with the rug pad — thus permanently affixing both the broken down pad and rug to the tile.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t matter what type of flooring you have. You can have hardwood, engineered wood, ceramic tile, porcelain tile, luxury vinyl, laminate or vinyl, and they all can be damaged by a poor quality area rug pad.
This also applies to area rug quality. Whether your rug is machine-made, tufted or handmade, all rugs can be permanently damaged by a low end area rug pad.
We’ve seen this happen far too many times to our customers, and have even been the company our customers have called to replace their damaged floors. We don’t want to see this happen to any more floors, so we’re here to help.
We source our own area rug pads, offer custom-cutting, local pick up and even ship nationwide.
The three area rug pads we offer are all our tried-and-true favorites. While each of these rug pads serves a different purpose, they will all protect your area rug and the flooring beneath it. Additionally, none of them will damage your floors or area rugs.
You can choose from our Ultimate Rug Pad, our Premium Rug Pad or our Waterproof Rug Pad.
We offer a wide range of sizes as well as a custom-cutting service. With custom-cutting you are sure to have the perfect size rug pad for your rug.
You may shop in store or online. For any questions on selecting the right rug pad, or to inquire about having a rug pad custom cut, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We are always here to help!
