Q&A answers generated with AI assistance.
Will this rug pad damage my hardwood or laminate flooring?
This pad is specifically engineered with a non-marring guarantee, making it safe for both carpeting and hard-surface flooring like hardwood, laminate, or tile. The felt material provides a protective barrier that prevents the rug backing from scratching your floors while securing it firmly in place.
Is a non-slip rug pad necessary for a 5x7 rug in a high-traffic entryway?
In high-traffic zones like foyers or entryways, a non-slip pad is a critical safety feature. The Elite Grip technology ensures your rug stays anchored to the floor, significantly reducing the risk of slips or trips. Additionally, the pad acts as a shock absorber, protecting the rug’s fibers from the crushing force of heavy foot traffic and extending the life of your investment.
Can I use this rug pad on top of wall-to-wall carpeting to prevent "rug creep"?
Yes. This unique two-sided pad is designed to perform on both hard surfaces and existing carpet. When used over carpeting, the felt texture creates the necessary grip to prevent your area rug from shifting or "creeping" as people walk across it, which helps maintain a neat and safe environment in carpeted bedrooms or living rooms.
My rug is slightly smaller than 5x7; can I resize this pad at home?
Absolutely. For the best aesthetic and safety, we recommend trimming the pad so that it sits approximately one inch inside the edge of your rug. This specific pad is designed to be easily customized using standard household scissors, ensuring a perfect, invisible fit for your specific rug dimensions.
Does this rug pad provide significant cushioning for a more luxurious feel?
This high-quality felt pad measures approximately 0.25 inches in depth. This thickness provides a noticeable layer of comfort and cushioning underfoot, making even low-pile rugs feel more substantial and luxurious. Beyond comfort, this density also helps absorb sound, making it an excellent choice for upstairs rooms or urban apartment living.
What is the benefit of a felt rug pad compared to a standard thin mesh pad?
While thin mesh pads provide basic grip, a dense felt pad offers superior protection and longevity. The solid construction prevents dirt and fine debris from sifting through the rug and acting like sandpaper against your floor's finish. Furthermore, the full-surface support helps prevent the rug's backing from stretching or losing its shape over time.
