Why Rug Pads are Good for your Wood Floors
Hardwood and wood floors can be strong yet susceptible to damage from everyday use. Some common causes of damage to wood floors are the rough backs of rugs rubbing against the floor or furniture legs causing scratches and indentations. These don’t have to be problems if you use the right rug pad under your rugs.
A quality rug pad has many functions. It prolongs the life of any area rug. It also provides a non slip feature where slipping is an issue. A rug pad can also add comfort and sound insulation. Finally, a rug pad acts as a barrier between rugs and furniture and your wood floors, hence protecting and prolonging the life of all hardwood and wood floors.
For all area rugs, there should be a rug pad. Now, let’s look at the best choice in rugs pads to offer the best protection for wood floors. Since there are many rug pads available, I like the solid ones for the best protection. There are solid jute rug pads and solid jute and rubber combination rug pads. The quality versions of these solid rug pads are dense enough to withstand heavy furniture indentations as they protect your wood floors.
There are the rug pads with the open weave, or holes, and as these are readily available, if floor protection is your main concern, the better choices are the solid pads. The non slip rug pads with holes are fine for providing a non slip feature yet thay are not quite heavy or solid enough to resist much furniture weight from possibly damaging your wood floors.
The solid rug pads that protect best are either 1/4 of an inch thick or thicker. These pads act as a strong barrier between the rug and your floors and usually prevent much damage. Rug Pad Corner offers two types of these solid pads and both are quite dense for wood floor protection. You may find other places that offer solid rug pads as well.
For the best in hardwood floor protection where you have rooms with area rugs, choose the right solid rug pad and you will avoid significant damage to your floors. The small investment now will save you from a possible small fortune in floor repairs later.
