Rug Pads & Underlayment
A proper pad is essential to the performance, safety, and longevity of your rug. The right padding prevents slipping, reduces wear on the foundation and knots, improves comfort underfoot, and helps rugs lie flat and stay in place.
All of our pads are custom cut to size, trimmed slightly smaller than your rug on all sides for a clean, seamless fit. We offer multiple professional-grade options and are happy to help you choose the best pad based on your rug, flooring, and lifestyle.
Pricing & Custom Fit
Our rug pads are $2.50 per square foot and are custom cut for each rug, leaving the pad approximately 1.5” smaller on all sides to ensure it remains hidden and fits perfectly.

DuraHold® Rug Pad (Hard Surface Floors)
-
Ideal For
Rugs placed on hard surface flooring including hardwood, tile, concrete, Saltillo, stone, and laminate.
-
Description
Approximately 1/4” thick, DuraHold® is our most popular and highest-performing rug pad. It features a two-part construction: a natural latex rubber backing that grips the floor without damaging finishes, and a dense recycled felt surface that grips your rug while providing cushioning and protection.
We’ve carried this pad for over 40 years, and it is widely considered the top-of-the-line rug pad. It is also the only pad we recommend for use on hardwood floors, as it will not stain, discolor, or break down when used properly.
Why It’s Our Go-To
Natural latex rubber backing (safe for hardwood floors)
Prevents slipping without adhesives
Cushions and protects rug fibers and knots
Long-lasting and environmentally responsible
Carpet Pad
-
Ideal For
Medium to large rugs installed on top of wall-to-wall carpeting.
-
Description
Approximately 1/4” thick, this dense synthetic fiber pad is designed specifically for rugs placed over carpet. It adds structure and firmness beneath the rug, preventing sinking, shifting, or bunching underfoot.
Unlike rubber-backed pads, this option allows the rug to sit securely on carpeted surfaces without gripping too aggressively, making it ideal for larger rugs where stability and even weight distribution are key.
Low Profile Underlayment
-
Ideal For
Small rugs, doorways with clearance issues, entry rugs, runners, and rugs needing extra grip without added height.
-
Description
Approximately 1/16” thick, this felt-like, low-profile pad provides strong grip while keeping thickness to a minimum. It is dual-sided for versatility:
Gray side up for rugs placed on carpet
White side up for rugs placed on hard floors
This pad is ideal when height is a concern or when a traditional cushioned pad would be too thick.
Rug pad cost is calculated based on the square footage.
Please use our calculator by entering your rug dimensions below. An overhang of 1.5 inches is recommended for most rugs (3 inches less than rug size on both width and length), and our calculator automatically adjusts for those few inches.

My most favorite rug shop of all time! Service is always courteous, professional and helpful, and promised times for completion of services (multiple rug cleanings in my case, though I aspire to buy in the future!) can be counted on. I’ve had all kinds of rugs with stains, needing general cleaning and even small repairs, and in each case the rugs came back as though they were new! I’ll be proud to put them down in my new home, and will gladly sing the praises of this delightful company!

Tomas and his team are as good as it gets. Great service and a Huge inventory of beautiful carpets. We purchased a beautiful area rug from Tomas and we were very impressed by all aspects of how they do business, above and beyond is the way they operate. Service after the purchase has been more the excellent, would highly recommend the Asian Trade Rug Co as the place you need to go when you are looking for a new rug.

My wife and I have purchased three rugs here, and have had another cleaned with remarkable results. The folks here are wonderful and extremely knowledgeable about every detail of the construction and history of their products. The prices are very fair. We’ll buy there again without a doubt.

We can’t say enough good things about this business. Not only did they do a great job cleaning a dhurrie rug for us, but Ali, their master carpet repair man, repaired a treasured rug for us after we thought it had been destroyed by the dry cleaners. The rug, a remnant from the old Mountain Oyster Club downtown, was torn in several places when we foolishly sent it to be dry cleaned. From now on we will only take our rugs to Asian Trade Rug Company for any cleaning or repairs.

We took our oriental rugs for cleaning after having a bad experience elsewhere. They were very reassuring and knowledgeable and we are very pleased with the results. We recommend Asian Trade Rug Company wholeheartedly.

After having our area rugs cleaned at Asian Trade Rug Company this last spring, we recently purchased two rugs from Asian Trade Rug for our home. Not only were we pleased with both the process and the results from their cleaning our rugs, but also we are very pleased with our new purchases from Asian Trade Rug Company. Its entire staff makes the process for both easy, comfortable, and convenient. They have a wonderful selection, so if you are interested in traditional, antique, tribal/nomadic such as Gabbeh, and so on, you very likely will find something you love.
