Why do your area rugs need rug pads?

Rug pads may seem like an after-thought, however they are absolutely essential for protecting both your floors and the rugs and carpets in your home. When it comes to valuable hand-knotted antique rugs, a high-quality rug pad is an absolute must. 

• Rug pads protect your Oriental area rugs from damage caused by furniture and foot traffic by providing a layer of cushion and by absorbing shock and weight. 

• Non-slip pads also keep rugs from slipping, wrinkling and bunching, which can not only cause tripping hazards but secondary events such as rip, and ruin rugs. 

• By raising rugs off the floor (to varying degrees, depending on the rug pile) rug pads promotes air circulation and makes vacuuming easy which in turn reduce dirt and dust  - the number one cause of rug degradation

What padding materials and types work best for your antique area rug?

Antique Oriental and Persian rugs are made of the highest-quality natural fibers such as wool and silk which require a padding of similar quality, ideally natural materials. We provide both best quality polyester fabric padding, and sustainable natural rubber and felt (often made from recycled fibers) made in the USA according to the highest manufacturing standards. 

The rug pad choice (ratio grip to cushioning) depends on your area rugs pile and size. 

• E.g., if your rug is a flatweave rug, particularly a small or medium size, you’ll be looking for more grip and low to moderate cushioning. 

• For thicker, heavier pile or larger sized rugs in living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms grip will likely be less important than cushioning. 

These are just examples. For choosing the right padding type and material, please request a consultation with our experts. Depending on the area rug assessment , So Cal Rug Masters will pick the adequate padding that serves your rug best.
