Our underlays are available in a range of high-quality, eco-friendly materials that grip both the floor and the rug without leaving residue or causing damage to either surface. They are available across a range of sizes to suit different rug formats, from smaller bathroom and kitchen rugs through to larger living room and dining room pieces. The correct sizing is slightly smaller than the rug itself on all sides, which keeps the underlay concealed and allows the rug edges to lie flat naturally.
For households with children or pets, the safety dimension of a non slip rug underlay is as important as the practical one. A rug that shifts underfoot in a busy household is a trip hazard, particularly on smooth floors. Our pet friendly rugs and playmats collections both pair well with an underlay. Underlay is worth including with any rug on a smooth floor surface, but it is particularly valuable at larger scales. A bigger rug has more surface area to shift and make adding an underlay an important addition. Our oversized and larger format rugs across the natural, washable rugs, and lounge and living rugs collections all benefit from a correctly sized underlay beneath them.
Installing an underlay is straightforward. Place it flat on the clean floor surface, position the rug on top, and smooth from the centre outward to remove any air or movement. No adhesive or fixing is required. When you clean the rug or move furniture, the underlay lifts easily and can be repositioned without any damage to the floor.
