WATERPROOF: Protect your floors from spills, pet accidents, and everyday mishaps. The moisture barrier—crafted from thermoplastic rubber (TPR)—keeps liquids from seeping through to your floors, preventing long-term damage. CUSHION: The thin cushioning offers a subtle soft feel underfoot, added sound absorption, insulation, and extra comfort for area rugs in busy spaces. LONG-LASTING PROTECTION: Durable felt protects flooring from long-term damage, such as scratches, scrapes, punctures, other types of abrasion wear, and discoloration from area rug backing. CUSTOMIZABLE SIZING: Simply trim your rug pad with scissors to fit any area rug size or shape by cutting approximately 1-2 inch short of your area rugs perimeter. EASY TO USE: For carpet, place the rug pad under your rug with the felt side down toward the carpeting. For hard surface flooring, place the rug pad under your rug with the non-slip latex rubber side facing down toward the floor.
