Seagrass rugs and hardwood floors
Comments (7)I have Saltillo tile floors throughout my house now, and a rug pad was a definite concern for me for leaving waffle marks. I ordered my rug pads from The Rug Corner-so look into them. They are very well made and more expensive, but seem to be totally worth it now that I have them. They feel so much better under the rugs than the thin ones anyway-just be careful of door openings to make sure the door can open across the rug if need be, because they are thicker. I will say, I have had wood floors for many years before getting the Saltillo tile floors, and I never had a problem with the latex rug pads. I think the problem lies, especially on Saltillo tile and heated floors, the latex melts onto the floor, which has happened to me in a small area and I could not remove it....See MoreWhat is the best rug pad for an 8x10 Kilim rug on hardwood?
Comments (4)All felt if you have no concern about the rug slipping. (like when the rug is under furniture) A felt and rubber combo if you do. This site has a ton of explanation. https://www.rugpadusa.com/collections/for-hardwood-floors...See Morewhat is best pad to use over hardwoods if using polypropylene rug?
Comments (5)The problem is we can't see what pad you are considering. I always suggest purchasing a pad that CLEARLY STATES "Safe for Hardwood Floors". If it doesn't SAY IT, then it doesn't MEAN it. If you have a link to the rug pad you want to use, please load it. We can have a look at the link to check for the wording "Safe for Hardwood Floors". If in doubt, visit www.rugpadusa.com They may be expensive but they are worth every penny when it comes to hardwood floor protection. Personally, I would not wish to use an indoor-outdoor rug over hardwood, but it is a personal choice and it has already been purchased. You now need to remedy the situation by finding the appropriate rug pad to protect the hardwood from the area rug. Suggestion: "Safe For Hardwood Floors" is the bare minimum you can use....See Morerug pads safe for hardwood floors
Comments (2)100% felt pads from Rugpad USA. Put the soft side down on the floor and the "plasticy" side up. Amazon has tons of reviews. I just got mine 2 weeks ago. Very pleased....See Morebadgergal
