NON SLIP: The latex rubber backing provides additional grip under your area rugs to help prevent slipping, sliding, bunching, and wrinkles during everyday use. (area rug not included) DURABLE COMFORT CUSHION: Choose from three felt thickness options - 1/4", 3/8”, and 1/2" - offering various levels of soft feel underfoot, flooring protection, sound absorption, insulation, and all-around extra comfort for your area rugs in any room around your home. RECOMMENDED USE: Larger area rugs, over 5x8, with latex backing provide the best non-slip functionality. For added non-slip grip to scatters, runners, and other smaller area rug sizes under 5x8, it is recommended to use rug tape or non-slip corner tabs to help prevent slipping and sliding in high traffic spaces. CUSTOMIZABLE SIZING: Simply score the surface and trim your rug pad with scissors to fit any area rug size or shape. For the 3/8” and 1/2" thick rug pad options, it is recommended to trim the pad 2” short of your area rugs perimeter. For the 1/4" thick rug pad option, it is recommended to trim the pad 1” to 2” short of your area rugs perimeter. FLOORING TYPES: For carpet, simply place the rug pad under your rug with the felt side down. For hard surface flooring, place the rug pad under your rug with the non-slip latex rubber side facing down.
