DUAL SURFACE: Perfect for use on both hard and soft surfaces. Simply place the natural rubber backing side down for hard surfaces and place the felt side down for soft surfaces, such as carpet. PROTECT YOUR FLOORS: Protects against abrasion and wear on all flooring types while also reducing pile crushing from furniture. MAKE YOUR RUG LAST LONGER: The added cushion from a rug pad provides a layer of protection, giving it long lasting usability in high traffic areas. NON-SLIP GRIP: The durable slip resistant rubber backing side provides stability and helps to prevent slipping, bunching, and wrinkles, keeping the rug surface smooth on the floor, which makes vacuuming easier. CUSTOMIZABLE: While these pads are pre-cut for various sizes, some rugs may arrive slightly altered, so each rug pad can be cut-to-size to fit what you need.
