decor help

We have hardwood floors and noticed that our current area rug is digging in to them a bit. What kind of rug should I look for so it doesn't have the binding or gripper stuff on the back? Woven rugs? We'll just be moving the one we have over to the dining room where there's tile and then put down a new one. I just need a search term. Thanks!

Re: decor help

  • You will typically find rugs with binding or padding on the back. You may want to get a rug pad that will protect your rug and your floor.

    Link  It should also keep it from slipping.

  • We have one. It doesn't work to keep the edges from still gripping in. I think there's a rug that is almost like a blanket material, but I can't think of what it's called.

  • I have a rug of FLOR tiles put together on my bamboo and haven't had any problem with them scratching.

  • I love Flor tiles! I use them a lot. They have shag versions and regular carpet versions. They are great.

  • Might have to look into it. do they link together somehow or am i going to have a puzzle to put together all the time?

  • Just kidding. I see the sticker things they use in the corners. How dog friendly would it be, though? I just envision it being a constant battle to keep the thing together.

  • Oh my gosh, those things look brilliant. We need to two new rugs for our place and these might totally be the solution.

    I've had mine for a year and only replaced one sticker. Ours is in the kitchen and takes a fair amount of abuse and water. I don't have dogs - but the cat has been caught scratching her nails on it and I haven't had a problem.

  • My office floor is made of them of them. We use them a lot on jobs as well. I've never had an issue with them.

    What is great about them is buy a few extra and if one gets ruined by a dog you can either pick it up and clean it or replace it. I have used them to create 'area rugs' when I use them. I've used the flat normal plush ones and then switched to a shag rug to create a rug under a living area. They are a great product. They are also a green product.
