Elite Grip 2'2 x 8' Runner Rug Pad

This is an excellent choice for active households. The polyester material is durable and provides the "Elite Grip" required to keep runners firmly in place during quick movements from children or pets. By securing the rug, you not only improve safety but also reduce the noise of footsteps in long hallways, creating a quieter and more stable environment in the busiest parts of your home.

This rug pad is designed for easy home customization and can be trimmed with standard household scissors. For the best fit and appearance, we recommend trimming the pad so that it is roughly one inch smaller than the rug on all sides. This allows the edges of your runner to taper elegantly to the floor while ensuring the pad remains completely hidden.

A rug pad is highly recommended for runners in high-traffic areas like hallways. This Elite Grip pad provides essential non-slip security to keep your runner from bunching or sliding, which significantly reduces trip hazards. Beyond safety, the 0.25-inch polyester cushioning absorbs the impact of foot traffic, protecting both your rug’s fibers and your underlying floors from premature wear and tear.

Yes. This pad is specifically designed to be non-marring and is guaranteed not to damage, stain, or leave a residue on hardwood or other hard-surface flooring. By creating a protective barrier between the rug backing and the floor, it prevents the abrasive "sandpaper effect" that occurs when a rug shifts, helping to preserve your floor's finish for the long term.

With a low-profile height of only 0.25 inches, this pad adds a luxurious feel and protective cushion without significant bulk. This slim design is specifically intended to provide maximum grip and comfort while maintaining the necessary clearance for doors to swing freely, making it a perfect solution for entryways and transitional spaces.

This unique pad features a two-sided design engineered for versatility across different surfaces. It works effectively on hard-surface flooring and is equally adept at preventing rugs from "creeping" or shifting when layered over wall-to-wall carpeting. This dual-surface capability makes it an ideal choice for adding stability to rugs in carpeted bedrooms or hallways.
