Some folks think padding serves one purpose which is to make their area rug feel more luxurious when they walk across it. That’s surely a benefit however, here at Arizona Oriental & Specialty Rug Care we know better. The truth is luxury is actually the least of the reasons pad is necessary.
With regards to fine area rugs, think of it this way…. Just as our dental hygienist tells us we only have to floss the teeth we want to keep I like to say only use a quality pad under the rugs you want to last!
Ok, so what am I talking about? It’s pretty simple - padding is to an area rug what shock absorbers are to a car. Pad lessens the effect of heavy foot traffic across the rug like shock absorbers lessons the effect of a washboard, bumpy road rattling your car apart. Pad protects the knots of hand woven rugs and also softens the steps and helps preserve tufted and all other types of rugs as well by taking much of the pounding, which without pad your rug would receive. Pad greatly helps distribute the weight and compression put on knots as well as the face fibers. Keep in mind that the more delicate the face fiber, the faster wear will show and a quality pad will help minimize this wear.
Another great benefit of pad is it helps the rug to grip and stay in place, avoiding rug movement and bunching up which can be a serious trip hazard.
I own a flat weave rug and with NoMuv padding under it, the rug is a pleasure and remains in place. Well worth the investment!
