What is rug padding? What is the benefit to getting rug padding for my rug and should I get it for my rugs? Because I get these questions all the time, I know what most people are thinking about this subject. And while there is the added factor of adding a little more cushion beneath your rug while you walk on it or even holding it in place to prevent it from ending up on the wrong end of your home, there is another, more important purpose for rug padding.
You wouldn’t want to drive a car that didn’t have shock absorbers, would you? Of course not! Rug padding acts much the same way for your area rugs as the shock absorbers do for your car. Walking on your rug may not seem like it’s a big deal or that there’s much force in walking on your rug to make much of a difference at all, but trust me – it is a big deal! Padding takes on much of the pounding from walking on your rugs, easing the weight and compression on the knots. It softens steps and helps to preserve and protect the knots of hand woven rugs and all other types of rugs as well. When you have a delicate rug, you can expect wear and tear to show even faster and more easily than a sturdier fiber – a high quality padding will help to minimize the effects on your rug.
Because we know how important an investment rug padding is, Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care has made sure that we carry the best quality padding that we could find. I use it in my own home under my flat weave rug and it works like a dream to keep it in place.
