Rug Pads & Underlayment
The right pad underneath your rug will not only keep you safe from slipping, but also increase the longevity of your rug by protecting the knots. We offer free samples of all three types of pads that we carry.
Our pads are $2.50 per square foot. Each one is custom cut for your rug, leaving the pad approximately 1.5” smaller than your rug on all four sides to ensure a seamless fit.
