Area rug under pads are used to keep rugs in place, protect finished flooring, and improve overall comfort underfoot. In Victoria homes, they are commonly used under area rugs placed on hardwood, laminate, vinyl, and tile surfaces.

An under pad plays an important role in how an area rug performs over time. Slip resistance, thickness, and material all affect floor protection, wear on the rug, and how stable the rug feels during daily use.

Choosing the right under pad helps prevent shifting, reduces friction against the floor, and adds cushioning where it is needed. This makes it easier to select an option that suits both the rug and the surface beneath it.
