Can we use a fiber padding under areas rugs? Also are the rubber like no slip pads work for area rugs to help stop slipping.
Hi Nina,
Yes, fiber padding under rugs is recommended. You will need to be cautious with any rubber or latex slip pads as they can react with the finish and cause dulling or worse.
Can I use a rug on my Cali vinyl flooring if it has thermoplastic rubber on the pad?
Hi George,
We only recommend fabric-backed rugs as rubber and other backings can sometimes react with the floor finish. If you love the rug, and want to use it, you could place it in an inconspicuous area for a week or two just to be sure there is no issue.
