Underlay provides a cushioning layer between the rug and the floor, reducing wear and tear. Handmade rugs, crafted with natural materials like wool and silk, benefit from this added protection, which minimizes friction and preserves their intricate designs.
A quality underlay prevents your rug from slipping, ensuring safety in high-traffic areas. This is particularly important for very large rugs, vintage rugs or carpets, or silk pieces that may shift on smooth surfaces like hardwood or tile floors.
Underlay also enhances the rug’s comfort underfoot, adding a plush feel to your space. It can even improve sound insulation, reducing noise in busy households.
Additionally, underlay acts as a barrier against moisture and dirt, protecting your floors and maintaining the rug’s cleanliness. For handmade rugs from the London Persian Rug Company, an underlay is an investment in preserving their beauty and functionality.
Choose a high-quality underlay tailored to your rug’s size and material. The right underlay ensures your Persian or Oriental rug remains a stunning centerpiece in your home for years to come.
