Made to belong underneath

01 A precise foundation

A beautiful rug
deserves good support.

We offer high-quality synthetic rug pads custom fitted to rugs. The right choice considers the rug’s dimensions and construction, the surface beneath it and the way the room is used.

A pad should sit discreetly beneath the rug, with its shape and edge placement considered as part of the fit. Thickness and door clearance matter as much as the measurement on paper.

Four details to bring with you

A fit begins
with the particulars.

  1. 01

    Size & shape

    Bring approximate measurements and describe any irregular shape. Fine handmade rugs may not be perfectly square; the actual outline matters.

  2. 02

    The floor beneath

    Tell us whether the rug sits on wood, stone, tile or another surface. Ask about compatibility with your floor’s finish and its manufacturer’s guidance.

  3. 03

    The feeling underfoot

    Describe the room and how you use it. A hallway, sitting room and space beneath furniture may each raise different questions about support and thickness.

  4. 04

    The surrounding details

    Mention doors that swing over the rug, nearby thresholds and any existing pad. These practical details help guide a useful conversation.

The whole setting

Chosen for the rug.
Considered for the room.

There is no one pad specification for every rug and floor. Ask us about the available material, thickness and fit for your situation.

Bring up any concern about movement, an uneven edge or an existing pad that has deteriorated. We can discuss the options without assuming that a new pad will resolve every issue.

Rug pad questions

Details
worth getting right.

Will the pad be visible around my rug?

A custom fit is intended to keep the pad discreetly beneath the rug. Discuss the actual rug dimensions and edge placement when arranging the pad.

Can I use any pad on a wood floor?

Check the floor manufacturer’s guidance and ask about the particular pad material. Finishes and materials differ; compatibility should not be assumed.

Should I replace an old pad when my rug is cleaned?

It is a useful time to look at the existing pad’s condition. Tell us about crumbling, sticking, odours or an uneven fit so that the options can be discussed.
