Our premium anti-slip rug underlay is engineered specifically to secure your hand-woven and flat-weaves, preventing unwanted movement and significantly reducing trip hazards.
Why Choose a Premium Underfelt?
-
Safety First: Firmly grips both the floor and the rug to keep your space secure.
-
Added Comfort: Provides a luxurious layer of cushioning under your flat-weave kelim.
-
Thermal Insulation: Boosts insulation, adding noticeable warmth and softness underfoot.
-
Protects Longevity: Reduces friction between the rug and the floor, preserving the delicate fibers of your hand-woven pieces.
Simple DIY Installation
Available for individual purchase, our anti-slip rug underlay is designed for straightforward installation. Simply unroll and position it beneath your rug. It comes in a range of popular sizes, and for a truly custom fit, you can easily trim it down using sharp scissors or a utility knife. Pro Tip: Having an extra person to hold the material taut can make trimming the underfelt even simpler.
Performance on Different Surfaces
While this anti-slip mat grip is highly effective on most flooring types, please be aware that on exceptionally slick surfaces—such as highly polished tiles—the grip may be less pronounced. However, for standard hardwood, laminate, and most stone floors, it provides an exceptional, secure hold.
4. Frequently Asked Questions
Does this anti-slip rug underlay work on underfloor heating? Yes, our premium underfelt is breathable and safe for use with most modern underfloor heating systems, ensuring your hand-woven kelims stay warm and secure.
How do I clean the mat grip if it gets dusty? If the underlay loses its “tackiness” due to dust, you can usually wipe it down with a damp cloth or a mild soap solution to restore the grip. Always let it dry completely before replacing the rug.
Should the pad be the same size as my rug? Actually, we recommend that your anti-slip rug underlay be cut about 2-3 cm smaller than the rug on all sides. This ensures the edges of your flat-weave taper naturally to the floor, preventing any visible bumps.
