Should I use a rug underlay?
Non-slip underlays are essential safety and preservation. They prevent rug migration, protect hardwood or stone from moisture, and reduce sound in apartments. We can source quality underlays as part of your project or advise on sourcing. Underlay cost is typically 15–20% of the rug cost.
What underlays do you recommend?
There’s a direct correlation between underlay quality and rug longevity and safety. We source premium underlays and can include them in your order. Standard choice is natural rubber with felt backing—it’s durable, long-lasting, and safe on all flooring types.
Can you include underlays in my order?
It’s easier and more coordinated if we source underlays as part of your order. We know the exact rug dimensions and can provide a perfectly fitting pad. If you prefer independent sourcing, that’s fine—just ensure it’s non-slip and appropriate for your flooring.
