Many may find this step unnecessary or unimportant but it’s actually not. This detail provides various benefits for you, your rug, and your overall rug area.
So, what are rug pads and why should you use them? As the term illustrates, rug pads provide foundation, comfort and cushion needed for your rugs. First off, they provide protection for homeowners, and all who will eventually step on your rugs, by making sure that your rugs are in place and anchored properly to avoid slipping, for instance. Likewise, pads provide protection for your floors by preventing scratches to your hardwood floors, among other preventive measures. Another benefit of a rug pad is promoting cleanliness and helping prolong the life of your rug. Surely you are aware that mildew, dirt, mold, and unpleasant odors can set in under your rugs? A pad can help prevent or lessen the occurrence of such things. And with a pad acting as a buffer between your floors and rug, it can certainly help to conserve and extend the life of your rugs. Lastly, but definitely not the least, a rug pad improves the quality, feel, and look of your rug and rug area. Got unwanted grout lines, for example? A pad will make sure that such unsightly things will not show and any uneven aspects of your floor will not be felt.
