Not just for slippage, a rug pad can help preserve the life of your rug. Rug pads protect the rug from every day wear by giving it a soft, supportive foundation that keeps it in place. Most rug pads can also be cut with scissors to match the exact size and shape of your rug. Choosing the right size rug pad A rug pad should be slightly smaller in size than the actual size of the rug. If the rug pad is slightly smaller than the rug, then the edges of the rug will taper to the floor. This prevents any trip hazard by a heel of a shoe catching on the edge of the rug. This also prevents premature wear and curling at the edge of the rug as it is walked on.

The final reason why the rug pad should be smaller than the rug is so that the edge of the pad is not seen. The way to determine what size your rug pad should be is simple. Jet Engine T ShirtThe rug pad should be about two inches less than your rug size on all four sides. T Shirt Division 88So if the size of your rug size is 8’x10’, then the rug pad size should be 7’10”x9’10”, a total of two inches less in each dimension, which is the same as one inch less on all four sides.Military Tires For Sale Ca Benefits of using a rug pad Reduces the wear and tear on the rug. Helps to absorb the impact of feet and noise. Makes vacuuming the rug easier. Helps to protect the flooring underneath the rug from being scratched by the back of the rug.

Adds a layer of cushion between your feet and the hard floor. For rugs placed over carpet, choose a pad of with thick polyester fabric coated adhesive. This type of pad prevents darker color rugs from bleeding through on to lighter colored carpets. For a rug placed on a hard flooring surface such hardwood, tile or laminate, choose a rug pad that has a nonslip coating on at least one side. This side should be placed on the hard surface floor to insure that the rug stays in place and does not slide around on the floors surface causing a potential tripping or falling hazard. free delivery & free returns*Today homeowners have many more choices when looking to buy a hardwood floor for their home. Thanks to advancement in flooring technologies homeowners have the option of buying a real hardwood floor, a laminate floor or even a resilient floor with a wood visual appearance. The difference being that both laminate flooring and vinyl flooring rely on a digital photograph of a real wood plank or tile to give the appearance of real hardwood plank flooring when installed.

Over the years the flooring technology has improved dramatically allowing flooring manufacturers today to be able to take a digitized photograph of an existing floor and apply it to a special backing material and then layering a protective wear surface over the top. The benefit of this process is laminate flooring can duplicate any wood plank with tremendous realism, including old historic wood flooring while keeping the costs down to the consumer. So which floor should you choose? The answer lies in understanding the pros and cons of hardwood flooring versus laminate flooring as it pertains to where the floor will be installed, your expectations, budget and lifestyle. Also, not all hardwood flooring qualities and laminate flooring styles are the same in durability, price, recommended applications, or performance. For example: ¾" solid wood flooring is not recommended to be installed over concrete slabs or below grade basements. Also, keep in mind the less costly laminate flooring will not have the true realism of real hardwood, texture of wood, nor the durability that the more expensive laminates will have.

This also hold true with hardwood flooring. Better performing hardwood floors with more styling and better finishes will cost you more. Because hardwood floors are a natural product they are more susceptible to fading from UV sunlight, whereas a laminate floor will not fade from sunlight. Area rugs and walk off mats may cause discoloration with a hardwood floor but not with laminate flooring. For hardwood flooring use mats and rug pads with non-staining backings. For the do-it-yourself flooring project laminate flooring is a better choice unless you are real handy with saws and staple guns or nailers. Laminate flooring offers a glueless, tongue-and-groove locking system that makes installation much easier for the novice. Although we are starting to see engineered wood flooring offered as well with a glueless, click-locking installation system. Laminate flooring as well as some engineered wood floors are actually floated over the top of the sub-floor. The planks are never adhered to the sub-flooring underneath.

This allows these type floors to be used in almost any room of the home, except for the wet areas – bathrooms. Many homeowners have pets in their homes which can be a problem for flooring, especially hardwood flooring. The first thing pet owners need to realize is that NO FLOORING IS WARRANTIED AGAINST PET DAMAGE! Although laminate flooring's wear surface is highly stain, scratch and moisture resistant which lends itself better to people with dogs. The more expensive laminate floors have a better wear surface and a moisture-resistant core to help prevent spills and pet accidents from destroying the fiber core backing. High end engineered wood floors also boost a very durable stain and scratch resistant, UV cured poly-urethane wear layer that can last for years. Cats can retract their claws but dogs cannot, so keep the claws trimmed to help prevent scratching the flooring. This is especially true for bigger more playful dogs that like to run around the room with the kids. Concrete slabs present their own set of possible issues when it comes to flooring.

Concrete slabs must be fully cured, dry and clean before installing any flooring. Since you cannot nail or staple flooring directly into the slab your options are to choose a glue-down or floating engineered wood floor or a laminate floor. The slab also has to be level in order for the planks to fit correctly together during installation. This is true whether you choose laminate or engineered wood flooring. If you are concerned about that some time you may need to repair the flooring and want to refinish the floor than your best option is hardwood flooring. Laminate flooring cannot be refinished and is not as easy to repair as wood flooring. Also, touching up scratches and marks in a hardwood floor is possible but not a laminate floor. Quality hardwood flooring is a bigger investment but will last much longer and add real value to your home. At the same time, the more expensive laminate flooring styles are getting much closer today to replicating the visual appearance and texture of real wood plank flooring.
