Rug Antislip
How do I stop rugs moving around?
A rug antislip is a material placed underneath to stop rugs moving. We've heard some weird and wonderful stories over the years of how people have tried to stop rugs moving. Some have been creative, others have been a little more aggressive. Whilst some have worked, others haven't. Though, we wouldn't recommend the ones that worked - nailing a rug to the floor isn't a long term solution.
So what can you do if you don't fancy nailing your rug to the floor. Well, at Fringes of Plymouth we have spent years on a painstaking mission to find the very best material to stop rugs from moving. Most of the materials that we found have boasted to be the "best on the market" - a bold statement. But far from true. There was a fantastic product that we would get imported, but supply was inconsistent. It's all well and good having a fantastic product, but we have a service to provide too!
We guarantee it will work - or your money back!
Disclaimer - this is not a sales gimmick. We are THAT confident in the rug antislip, that we offer a money back guarantee if you feel like it isn't working.
Please note: our money back guarantee is only offered if the rug antislip is used as recommended. See below.
How to use antislip for your rug
It's very simple to use too. On hard floors, simply peel off the protective layer, place it on the floor, place the rug on top. It's no harder for carpeted floors either. Instead of the black side up, it's grey side up. Couldn't be simpler.
The entire underside of the rug most be covered to stop the rug from moving. We have tried using it in strips, we have tried just popping strips around the edges of the rug, but these methods don't work. These methods we found actually caused damage to the pile of the rugs.
How long does it last?
This greatly depends on how often it gets taken up. We recommend cleaning the floor underneath the rug before laying down the rug antislip. Once the rug antislip is laid, you shouldn't need to take it back up - nothing can get underneath. The less often you take up the rug, the longer the rug antislip will last. Prior to moving our showroom around, we had a rug with with our rug antislip underneath and it lasted over three years.
Is there anything else I can use it on?
Believe it or not, our rug antislip can be used in other situations. Some of our customers have been super creative - we have been told that our rug antislip has been used to keep car mats in place, to stop sofa cushions from moving and even under a cat bed on laminate flooring. You're only restricted by your imagination.
