Superior Jute Rug Pad Reduces Apartment Noise

July 2nd, 2010

For those who live in an apartment, condo or co-op, you may be familiar with the noise that comes through the floor above. This apartment noise is normally caused by the sound of walking, playing or running on the floor above.  Many apartments have some sort of wood floor and even if you place a rug on the floor, noise will penetrate through the rug and to the floor.

40 ounce jute rug pad for noise reduction

One of the best ways to reduce noise in apartments is with the right rug or carpet pad. The traditional spongy carpet pads used under wall to wall carpet will not reduce much noise. This type of carpet pad is spongy and allows the foot to sink to the floor and continue to make noise. The best rug pad for noise reduction is a solid and dense jute rug pad, specifically a 40 ounce jute rug pad.

Superior jute rug pad is made of a 40 ounce quality which makes it one of the most dense jute rug pads available. This allows Superior rug pad to resist the weight of foot traffic and absorb much of the sound that can come through to the floor. When you place Superior jute rug pad under your area rugs, walking on the rug no longer means hearing heavy sounds and noise.

Many apartment buildings require residents to have a rug pad under their rugs, mainly to avoid noise for those living underneath. You may opt for a variety of rug pads yet if you are looking for one of the best rug pads to reduce noise, Superior jute rug pad is one of the best. It does not contain any chemicals or odor and should last around 15 years. Visit Rug Pad Corner for more on Superior jute rug pads.

People often search for the right rug pad for hardwood floors that will not mark or damage their floor.

Many of these rug pads either contain some sort of chemical or adhesive that stains the hardwood floor or a rubber imitation that sticks to hardwood floors.

There are two rug pads that are safe for hardwood floors. One of them contains recycled felt jute that does not have any latex, glue or adhesives.

Tips on Buying Rug Pads Online

May 28th, 2010

Online stores have obviously become a very popular outlet for many items and rug pads are no different. If you find the right online store, you will have the best rug pad you can find for the money, and there are only a few of these stores around. The problem with the many of the online rug stores or home decor stores is that they offer rug pads that are drop shipped to you. This means when an order comes in, they send the order to a warehouse not affiliated with them and the warehouse then processes your order and ships it to you. The online store never sees or touches the rug pad. The rug pad is just one item of hundreds or thousands that this store may offer.

The best way to buy a quality rug pad online is to make sure you are buying from a company that actually ships the rug pad direct from them to you. There are very few online stores that do this and even fewer that cut to your order. Most online stores ship pre-cut and pre-packaged rug pads and I definitely shy away from this. Pre-cut and packaged rug pads are folded numerous times to fit into a plastic bag and then stuck on a shelf until they are purchased. The problem here is that the folding creates very stubborn fold lines that may not come out once in your home until it is too late. This creates an uneven looking rug, trip hazards and premature wear to your rug in the areas of the fold marks.

At Rug Pad Corner, great pride is taken in cutting each order as it arrives. Rug pads are all this company sells and the pads are stocked in rolls, not packages. Each order is cut when they receive it, hence eliminating the folding problem. There may be a few other stores that offer rug pads in this way and if you care about the quality and condition of your rug pad, along with its performance once you receive it, be sure to buy your rug pad from one of the online stores that does not fold them and leave them in packages. A great test to determine if the store drop ships pre-packaged rug pads or not is to ask them to cut it to a specific size. If they can, then chances are the rug pads are on rolls.

Felt Rug Pad Saves the Floor

May 19th, 2010
Ultra Premium felt and rubber rug pad at Rug Pad Corner

Ultra Premium dense felt and rubber rug pad

There are some homes in which a waterproof rug pad would be the ideal rug pad. Although there technically is not a waterproof rug pad, we recently heard of a story with a felt rug pad that could be as close to waterproof as they come.

A woman noticed some staining on her area rug so she decided to look into it. She lifted the rug and noticed that the new puppy has used the rug as wetting grounds for a few weeks! She also noticed some staining on the felt and rubber rug pad underneath. As damp as the rug and pad were, one thing that amazed her is that the hardwood floor underneath did not get damaged.

She explained that it seemed like the rubber layer of this felt rug pad kept the urine from seeping through to the floor. Although the felt rug pad was wet, the floor was not. This truly saved her hundreds of dollars in refinishing and for this she was grateful.

She contacted the rug pad store from where she ordered the rug pad and asked if the pad could be cleaned. They asked her what the origin of the stains were and when they heard that there were several areas of dog urine, they were honest and told her that any cleaning would just be a temporary band aid. The gentleman told her that the felt rug pad could be spot cleaned yet after a few weeks of urine sitting in it, he didn’t want her to chance keeping it in the house.

She agreed and ordered a replacement of the same rug pad. What she did get, to her surprise, was a 10% discount because of the circumstances for the replacement. She was extremely appreciative and received her new rug pad for normal use again.

If you think you may encounter extra “spills” or “accidents” on your rug, try using a dense felt and rubber rug pad that could resist the spill long enough to avoid any damage to hardwood and all types of wood floors.

Ultra Premium dense felt and rubber rug pad can be found online at Rug Pad Corner.

Ultra Premium Felt and Rubber Rug Pad

May 15th, 2010

felt and natural rubber rug padThe spotlight of this post is on an excellent rug pad that we have found to work on all types of hard floors with all types of area rugs. Ultra Premium rug pad has good body, seems to be constructed very well or excellent materials.

This type of rug pad should be used under rugs to protect the rug, protect the floor and prevent slipping, if this is an issue. The lower surface of Ultra Premium is obviously a natural rubber and we like this. There are too many rug pads out there that skimp and use a spray adhesive. While you may save a little up front, in the long run this imitation rubber may prove to be expensive with damage to your floor.

Ultra Premium prides itself on a recycled felt jute surface that has a slight texture to hold rugs to the pad. This is important to prevent your rug from crawling on the rug pad. Crawling rugs could cause trip hazards as well as experience premature wear.

Because Ultra Premium contains real rubber, it is safe for all floors. There is a misconception that rubber harms floors. On the contrary, it is one of the best products to use for anti slip. Again, it is the rubber like products that could damage floors.

Since it is a 1/4 of an inch dense pile, use Ultra Premium under persian rugs, oriental rugs, modern rugs and all types and ages of area rugs. It is meant to prolong the life of any rug while protecting the hard floor from scratchesand damage.

Ultra Premium felt and rubber rug pad can be found at Rug Pad Corner. The wonderful part of this store is that a part of the every day service is to custom cut the rug pad to each order. Your rug may vary slightly from a standard size, so your rug pad should be cut to your rug size, avoiding having to cut it yourself at home.

Where to Buy Custom Rug Pads

May 9th, 2010

One question that comes up often when buying rug pads is exactly what size rug pad do you need. Well, most stores we found will ship a precut rug pad and leave it up to you to cut it if it needs trimming. This is okay for those thinner non slip pads but when it comes to a thicker, more dense solid rug pad, cutting is not so easy.

There is an online store, Rug Pad Corner, that specializes in cutting each order when they receive the order. Let’s face it, due to space and inventory issues, there aren’t too many stores willing to custom cut your rug pad, unless they charge a small fortune. Well, the folks at Rug Pad Corner take pride in doing just that, without the high surcharge.

The rug pad ordering process at Rug Pad Corner is simple and clear. Choose the type of rug pad you want and you will find a nice feature that asks you to type in the rug size. From this, your rug pad will be cut slightly smaller, allowing for the edges of your rug to fall nicely to the floor. Custom rug pads are a great offer since all one has to do when they receive the pad is open it up and place the rug on top of it.

It is important to have your rug pad cut smaller than your rug to keep the edges of your rug on the floor. This will keep the rug pad hidden as well as prevent excessive wear to the edge of your rug by avoiding shoes from catching the edge if it is raised off the floor.

We discovered that Rug Pad Corner will custom cut any of the rug pads they offer and there seems to be no shipping delay for this and no extra cost. The next time you are in the market for a rug pad, especially if you have a special size, give them a try and eliminate any tedious task of having to cut the rug pad yourself.

felt jute rug pad at Rug Pad Corner

Recycled thick felt jute rug pad

There are many stores that sell rug pads yet not many that specialize only in rug pads. Rug Pad Corner only offers what seems to be some of the finest rug pads available.

Upon visiting the Rug Pad Corner web site, you can immediately notice the attention to detail in rug pads. From questions and answers on various rug pads to actual customer ratings, Rug Pad Corner is truly a rug pad store!

One nice thing about this rug pad store is that every rug pad they offer, in every size and shape, can be cut based on the exact size of your rug. This is a plus since some rug pads are not that easy to cut once you receive them. Custom cut rug pads without the premium charge are a plus! The main reason Rug Pad Corner is able to cut to size is due to the fact that each order, regardless of size, is cut right off the roll upon order. In this case, the folks at Rug Pad Corner are able and more than willing to cut to the rug size.

You’ll notice three types of rug pads offered. They have selected some of the finest rug pads. Choose a jute rug pad that does not contain any latex, glue or adhesive. For a non slip rug pad, Rug Pad Corner offers a great felt and natural rubber rug pad. They pride this Ultra Premium rug pad on having natural, as opposed to a spray adhesive, rubber to provide the best non slip features as well as being safe to hard floors. Finally, Super Hold is a thinner polymer rug pad that is an excellent non slip rug pad when thickness is an issue.

We ordered a Superior jute rug pad in size 9×12 and we left a note that the rug is 8′8″x11′9″. Our rug pad arrived three days later exactly one inch less than our rug pad on all four sides. This allowed our rug edges to stay down on the floor and the rug pad was out of sight. the 3/8 of an inch felt jute pad truly has no odor and is as comfortable as any rug pad out there. Obviously a quality rug pad!

Customer service seemed exceptional, prices are fair and shipping is quite fast and free. All in all, these guys take rug pads seriously and if you are ever in the market for a quality rug pad with excellent service, give Rug Pad Corner a try.

April 19th, 2010
Superior rug pad for laminate floors

Superior rug pad for laminate floors

Many floor people dealing with laminate floors will advise against using a rug pad containing glues, chemicals or latex. This is true because of possible negative effects between the rug pad and the finish on the laminate floor.

There are some excellent choices in rug pads for laminate floors without posing any harm to the floor. A recycled felt jute rug pad is available that does not contain any glues, latex or adhesives and is perfectly safe for laminate floors and all wood floors. If non slip is an issue, a felt and natural rubber rug pad is also safe for laminate floors. Here, the important thing is that the rubber is real rubber and not a “rubber like” substance that can harm the floor.

We have tested a Superior rug pad and found that it is a safe solution for rugs on laminate floors. This rug pad is pretty dense to protect area rugs and floors, does not have an odor and obviously does not contain any latex or adhesives. One interesting thing about this tug pad is that it is hard to find in most stores due to the fact that it does not come precut and prepackaged. Rug Pad Corner is a store we we found this rug pad and where it can be purchased in any size and many shapes.

In the non slip world of rug pads, since there are many available with a non rubber substance, for laminate floors it is important that the non slip side be an actual layer of rubber. A quality rubber rug pad will not stick to laminate floors. It is the imitation rubber rug pads that contain a sticky spray that eventually can leave that spray imprinted on your laminate floor. There are some stores that offer a quality version of a felt and rubber rug pad and it is important to make sure that the rubber is not a spray latex or chemical.

When it comes to rug pads for laminate floors, follow some simple rules and you will avoid any damage to your floor. If you do not require a non slip rug pad, the choice is obvious – A felt jute rug pad such as the Superior rug pad offered by Rug Pad Corner.  If non slip is required, then make sure to get one with solid rubber and your laminate floors should be fine for years to come.
