Ultra Premium rug pad at Rug Pad Corner

Another excellent rug pad in the world of rubber rug pads is Ultra Premium rug pad offered by Rug Pad Corner. This is a dense 1/4 of an inch thick rug pad that really performs as a rug pad should.

The important thing to keep remembering about rubber rug pads is that there are many out there that are not actually made as well as they should be. Some rug pads may claim to possess rubber yet the way the rubber is applied makes a difference. Other rug pads may not even contain real rubber, but a sprayed on adhesive that looks and feel like rubber but is actually not rubber.

This Ultra Premium rubber rug pad prides itself in being made in the USA with a real rubber layer attached to a recycled felt surface. Upon first glance at this rug pad, it is obvious that it is a quality rug pad. There seems to be no question about the fact that the lower surface is an actual layer of natural rubber.

The purpose of a rubber rug pad is threefold. First, like all rug pads, a quality rubber rug pad should protect the rug from premature wear by acting as a barrier between your rug and the hard floor. Next, a rubber rug pad should protect your floor from any scratches or damage. Finally, a quality rubber rug pad should prevent slipping of your rug on any type of hard floor.

If it is a real rubber, you do not need to worry about anything sticking to your floor. Over time, as is natural of rubber, the rubber will dry out and need to be replaced. The quality rubber rug pads will last over 12 years before needing replacement.

If you have fine area rugs and need a rug pad for protection of rug and floor while preventing slipping, it’s worth your while to check out the Ultra Premium rug pad at Rug Pad Corner.

Durahold: A Real Rubber Rug Pad

April 1st, 2010

Durahold felt and rubber rug padOne of the more quality rubber rug pads available is by a company in Florida. This rug pad is called Durahold. Durahold is actually one of the original felt and rubber rug pads that other rug pads try to imitate today. There are a few things that separate Durahold rug pad from others.

First, the backing on a Durahold rug pad is truly a real rubber. Many rug pads contain a rubber like imitation to cut down on costs yet Durahold contains only natural rubber that is meant to last much longer and hold up much better than other rug pads. To know that your rug pad is actually a Durahold, the rubber is a medium purple color, not one found in any other rug pad. Durahold holds a U.S. Patent and cannot be copied.

Next, Durahold is made in the United States. The entire rug pad is made here and the rubber part is attached in the United States. There is complete control of production.

Durahold’s rubber lower surface is made in an exclusive tire tread pattern. This is done to allow more actual rubber to be in contact with more floor, hence creating the ultimate non slip rug pad. There are many rubber rug pads available with a smooth texture and as this may be fine, it is not as good for gripping strength as one with more of a pattern, like the Durahold rug pad.
