Anti-Slip Underlay: Choosing the Right Option for Your Rug or Runner

Keeping your rug or runner safely in place doesn’t have to be complicated. Our anti-slip underlays are designed to prevent movement, improve comfort, and protect your flooring—without the need for any glues or adhesives.

What Makes Our Anti-Slip Underlay Different?

Our underlays use a specially developed, bonded technology that grips both the floor and the rug. This means:

• No sticky residues or marks left behind

• No adhesives, sprays, or glues required

• Safe for a wide range of flooring types

• Suitable for use with underfloor heating

Which Anti-Slip Should You Choose?

We offer two main types of anti-slip underlay, depending on your flooring and comfort preference:

1. Fleece (Best for All Floor Types)

This option is made from polyester fleece impregnated with a bonded acrylic resin, meaning the anti-slip properties are built directly into the material.

Best for:

• Carpet (and hard floors)
• Customers wanting a soft, fabric-based underlay

Benefits:

• Guaranteed no residue transfer
• Safe and stable on all surfaces
• Works with underfloor heating

Available options:

• Dual Fleece White – Thin, with excellent grip and minimal cushioning

• Super Dual Fleece – Nearly twice as thick, offering the same grip with added comfort underfoot.t

2. Mesh (Best for Smooth Floors)

Made from high-quality PVC with a reinforced mesh structure, this option is ideal for hard, smooth flooring.

Best for:

• Laminate, hardwood, vinyl, and other smooth surfaces

Benefits:

• Strong grip without damaging floors
• Will not break down or leave residue like some rubber alternatives
• Suitable for underfloor heating

Available options:

• Extra – Thin with excellent anti-slip performance
• Profilo – Thicker design for extra cushioning, with a unique weave that helps airflow and flexibility

How to Use Your Anti-Slip Underlay

Fitting your underlay is quick and easy:

Method 1 (Recommended for most rugs and runners):

1. Lay the anti-slip underlay directly onto the floor
2. Place your rug or runner on top
3. Allow a few minutes for everything to settle flat

Method 2 (Best for smaller runners):

1. Turn your runner face down
2. Roll out the underlay onto the backing
3. Flip both over together and position them in place

Final Tips

• Choose fleece for versatility across all floor types.

• Choose Mesh for maximum grip on smooth floor.

• Opt for thicker options if you’d like extra cushioning underfoot.
