Injuries due to sliding, falling and tripping within the home are more common than you think. Whether you are an owner of laminate, tile, or hardwood flooring, area rugs on these slippery surfaces can be the cause of a spill before anyone can say “FREEZE!” But have no fear, here at rugpad.com we have all the answers for helping to protect your home and making it a safer place to live with our rug gripper pads.
Life Without The Rug Gripper Pad
The rug pad acts as an extended buffer between the rug and your floor, and with advanced grip technology, the rug gripper pad has the ability to provide a non-slip layer to the floor to help prevent movement of your rug.
Without a non-slip rug gripper, the area rug will move across your floors freely without any grip. All of our rug pads have a preferred side to be placed down onto your flooring to provide gripping technology. Be sure to place the rubber, and/or PVC grip side down.
Bunching
One of the pesky problems of having a rug without a rug gripper pad is the bunching and shifting that can occur, specifically in high traffic areas (generally caused by pets running through your living space or children playing).
A simple solution can look like the Super Grip Natural rug gripper pad to help with any bunching. If you decide to add a design element to your carpeted master bedroom, bunching and shifting is a common side effect. When seeking to stop bunching on carpeted surfaces, the Rug On Carpet Rug Gripper Pad is the perfect solution!
Tripping
Rug gripper pads additionally help to prevent any tripping that goes on within the home. As previously stated, as acting as a buffer between the rug and the floor, the rug gripper pad will provide additional traction and can help to stop a tripping hazard in your home.
