Cork underlayment for rug or rug pad

3 years ago

Can I use cork underlayment as a rug pad? Maybe even as an area rug? I'm looking for ways to reduce sound transfer between parts of the house, and help protect the oak floors. The rugs on top of the cork will be synthetic--nylon or polypropylene.


I'm guessing there's a reason this isn't a good idea, since I can't find any information online about doing so. Since my Google searches aren't turning up any pros or cons, I would be grateful to anyone who can explain to me why this will or won't work.
