If you’re wondering when to use a pad for your area rug – the answer is always! Padding your rug will help it last longer.

Using a rug pad under your area rug will also:

• Prevent mold and mildew from setting in.
• Keep your rug looking uniform with clean lines.
• Create more cushioning under your feet, making your rug more luxurious.

Rug pads come in virtually any size, and can be cut to fit a custom-shaped rug. Invest in rug padding for all your area rugs to keep your rug looking newer longer.
