Felt rug pads are one of the most effective and commonly used options for large area rugs.

They come in standard sizes and thicknesses but can also be custom-ordered to suit oversized rugs.

These non-slip pads are soft but dense.

Choose a rug pad that is approximately two inches smaller than your area rug so that its fully hidden.

One of its disadvantages is that it doesnt add the same comfort and cushioning that a felt pad does.

Squeeze out small dots of caulk directly from the tube or usea caulking gun.
