Oriental Rug Pads
Oriental rug pads may not sound like the kind of thing you would want to spend your money on especially if you are new to rugs and you have just bought your new rug or are planning to acquire one soon. Most people never get to understand why they should get a rug pad since all they need is to have the rug in their house ands use it. But you will be surprised to learn that a rug pad is as crucial and in fact it is very key to the protection of your rug and subsequently the huge investment you have made in purchasing the rug. Here is why you cannot afford not to invest in quality oriental rug pads, if you intend to buy an oriental rug.
Oriental rug pads provide non-skid protection
This is perhaps the most important benefit of using oriental rug pads; the pad basically ensures that your rug does not skid on the floor hence preventing it from causing falls due to slipping off under foot especially when they are placed on extremely smooth surfaces like linoleum or hardwood floors. An oriental rug pad will firmly grip the rug plus the floor; in addition to eliminating any wrinkles in the rug which often lead to tripping.
Oriental rug pads protect the floor
A rug placed a-top a wall-to-wall carpeting can easily cause damage to the fibers through its backing; in fact a harsh or stiff backing can scratch the finish on a vinyl or hardwood flooring. The oriental rug pad will simply prevent direct contact between the rug backing and the surface beneath with the overall effect of protecting both the carpeting and the floor.
Oriental rug pads enhance the comfort of carpeting
Part of the reason we get rugs is to derive some level of comfort from the carpeting; so you will be looking for the kind of carpeting that will improve the comfort-this is exactly what the oriental rug pads will help you achieve. The pads will make the rug’s surface softer and quite easy to stand on even if it it’s for long periods of time. The room and the floor get a more luxurious look thus adding to the comfort that you want to feel in your house.
Oriental rug pads absorb sound
Oriental rug pads will always ‘kill’ the sound of someone walking on the rug; walking can be a source of interference to the relaxing nature of your room. The pad absorbs the sound thus making the surrounding area silent and helps to protect occupants of other rooms from disturbance due to footsteps. The oriental rug pads will also act as perfect sound proof to any noise occurring in lower floors.
