Rug Pad Saves Hardwood Floor

Rug Pad Saves Hardwood Floor under any area rug. Since a rug can receive much use and stress, a rug pad will prevent wear and damage to hardwood floor.

Area rugs can truly make a room and they require proper protection for both the rug and the floor. If we think about the use we give a rug, it receives much stress and pressure. Furniture sitting on the rug and our foot steps walking across the rug can push down into the rug to create stress. This pressure can lead to the back of the rug scratching the floor, as well as furniture denting the hardwood floor. Use of the proper rug pad can truly preserve any hardwood floor.

Rug Pad Saves Hardwood Floor in the form of a solid and dense felt rug pad. While there are many popular mesh looking rug pads in stores, they do not provide the necessary protection. A solid felt rug pad acts as the best protective barrier between rug and hardwood floor. Felt rug pad is available in various densities. The more dense the rug pad, the better the protection to hardwood floor. While a few qualities will provide protection, if possible, choose a 40 ounce dense felt rug pad to provide maximum resistance to pressure and stress.

Hardwood Floors are an investment and can be sensitive to various things. It is important to use a rug pad under any area rug. Some rugs require a non-slip rug pad to keep them in place and there are felt and rubber rug pads for this purpose.
