Rug Underpads - Ask the Expert

We at Terry's Rugs Expert who cares and specializes in washing and repairing Persian and oriental rugs for more than 35 years (since 1982), come to the conclusion that of the 1000's of rugs from our clients in Ottawa-Gatineau homes and offices that we washed and repaired in our shop at Terry's Rugs since January 2001, most of them needed extra washing, extra minor repairs and did reveal more wear and tear signs due to not having the proper under-padding.

Know the funny thing is, consumers are not to blame for not having proper pads under their precious rugs!

Most rug retailers of the area supply mesh pads as quality under-padding for rugs. However, mesh pads are too thin to absorb anything. Sorry but that's wrong information from the so-called rug experts.

Mesh pads are just anti-slipping underlay. They don't absorb pressure of simple walking and furniture, and they wrinkle and stick to floors.

Without pads or with a pad that doesn't protect rug fibers from getting matten-down, or simply protected from moving around, your valuable rugs won’t last as long. All foam or mesh pads in the market do not give the total protection your rugs and hardwood floors need.  

Only luxury-pad was design to extend your rugs life and protect your floors.
