Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What makes the Gorilla Grip Extra Strong Rug Pad Gripper different from other rug pads? A: The Gorilla Grip Extra Strong Rug Pad Gripper utilizes a proprietary high-grip technology designed to provide superior traction on hard floor surfaces. Unlike standard rug pads, its extra-strong construction ensures your rugs stay firmly in place, preventing slips and skids, while also offering a protective layer for your floors.
• Q: Will this rug pad protect my hardwood floors? A: Yes, absolutely. The thick, cushioning material of the Gorilla Grip rug pad acts as a barrier between your rug and your hardwood floors, preventing scratches, scuffs, and general wear and tear. It helps maintain the pristine condition of your valuable flooring.
• Q: Is this rug pad suitable for use on tile or laminate floors? A: Yes, the Gorilla Grip Extra Strong Rug Pad Gripper is designed for use on a variety of hard floor surfaces, including tile, laminate, vinyl, and linoleum, in addition to hardwood. Its primary function is to grip the floor and the rug, providing stability on all these surfaces.
• Q: How thick is the Gorilla Grip Extra Strong Rug Pad Gripper? A: This rug pad is designed with a substantial thickness to provide both cushioning and grip. While the exact thickness can vary slightly by size, it offers a noticeable layer of support and comfort underfoot, enhancing the feel of your area rug.
• Q: Will this rug pad cause my rug to slide on plush carpet? A: This particular model, the 'Traditional Pads for Hard Floors,' is optimized for use on hard surfaces. While it will grip your rug well, its primary grip is against the hard floor. For use on carpet, we recommend our specialized carpet rug pads, which are designed to grip the carpet fibers and prevent movement.
• Q: How do I prepare the rug pad for use? A: The rug pad comes ready to use. Simply unroll it and place it on your clean, dry hard floor surface. Then, lay your rug on top of the pad. Ensure the pad is smooth and flat for maximum effectiveness.
• Q: Can I cut this rug pad to fit a custom-sized rug? A: Yes, the Gorilla Grip Extra Strong Rug Pad Gripper can be easily trimmed with sharp scissors or a utility knife to perfectly fit any custom-sized rug. For best results, lay your rug on top of the pad, mark the excess material, and then cut along your markings.
• Q: How do I clean the rug pad? A: To clean the rug pad, vacuum it regularly. For deeper cleaning, you can gently spot clean with a mild soap and water solution, then rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before placing your rug back on top. Avoid machine washing or harsh chemicals.
• Q: Is the material safe for my floors and the environment? A: The Gorilla Grip Extra Strong Rug Pad Gripper is made from durable, high-quality materials. It is designed to be safe for use on most sealed hard floor surfaces and does not contain harmful chemicals that could damage your floors or pose a risk to your health.
• Q: Will this rug pad help reduce noise? A: Yes, the cushioning effect of the thick rug pad can help absorb sound, reducing echo and noise transfer within a room. This makes it beneficial for adding a layer of quiet comfort to your living space.

• Q: Can this rug pad be used with underfloor heating? A: This specific rug pad model is not explicitly designed or tested for use with underfloor heating systems. Using it with underfloor heating may affect heat distribution and could potentially damage the rug pad or the heating system. We recommend consulting with your underfloor heating system manufacturer before use.
• Q: Does the white color of the rug pad show through light-colored rugs? A: The white color of the rug pad is designed to be discreet. In most cases, especially with thicker rugs, it will not be visible through the rug. Its primary purpose is functionality, not aesthetics from below.
• Q: What are the key benefits of using a rug pad? A: The key benefits include preventing rugs from slipping and bunching, protecting your floors from scratches and wear, adding cushioning and comfort underfoot, reducing noise, and extending the life of your rug by providing a stable base.
