What Happens When You Don’t Have Proper Rug Padding?
Without proper rug padding, even the highest quality Oriental rugs, Persian rugs, or Hand-Knotted rugs can suffer damage. Common issues include sliding, wrinkling, bunching, and scratches on your floors — all of which shorten your rug’s lifespan. We’ve seen beautiful rugs arrive at Sharian Oriental Rug needing restoration simply because they weren’t supported by quality padding. Investing in the right rug pad protects the rug’s foundation, ensures safety, and enhances comfort underfoot. Don’t wait for damage to show — let our experts guide you to the right solution.
Why Rug Padding Shouldn’t Wait
Rug padding is not just an accessory — it’s essential to maintaining the beauty and integrity of your Oriental or Persian rugs. Waiting too long to replace or install a rug pad can lead to premature wear, curling corners, and even permanent creasing. At Sharian Oriental Rug, we’ve restored Hand-Knotted rugs that were warped or damaged due to missing or worn-out padding. We recommend replacing your rug pad every 5–10 years, depending on use. Timely padding enhances stability, comfort, and protects both the rug and your floors. Don’t risk it — let our trained professionals help you prevent costly damage.
Recommended Rug Padding Options
At Sharian, we don’t just offer rug padding — we provide expert solutions tailored to your rug’s unique needs and flooring type. Our team will guide you to the right underlay to protect, preserve, and enhance your rug’s performance.
For Rugs on Hard Floors:
Recommended: Durahold™ Rug Padding
This premium underlay features a rubberized bottom that grips hard surfaces and a ridged synthetic fiber upper layer that secures your rug in place. It helps eliminate ripples and buckles while adding comfort and durability. Rugs should be pulled tight over the pad, and the pad trimmed slightly smaller than the rug to prevent edges from curling.
For Small Rugs or Runners:
Recommended: Omni Rug Underlay
Omni is a low-profile, high-performance pad ideal for tight-clearance areas such as entryways, hallways, and under doors. It provides excellent grip and stability without added height.
For Rugs on Carpeted Floors:
Recommended: Teebaud Non-Skid Rug Underlay
Teebaud is specially designed for use on top of wall-to-wall carpeting. Its unique texture helps prevent slipping, bunching, and dangerous tripping hazards — perfect for layering decorative rugs over carpet.

FAQs
We recommend replacing your rug pad every 5 to 10 years, depending on foot traffic, usage, and the condition of the pad. Older pads can break down and lose effectiveness over time.
Yes. High-quality rug padding adds grip and stability, especially on hard surfaces like wood, tile, or laminate. This prevents your rug from shifting or bunching, reducing trip hazards.
While installation is possible on your own, Sharian offers professional custom-cut rug padding for a precise fit. Our team ensures it’s trimmed properly to protect your rug and floor.
Most rugs benefit from padding — whether it’s an Oriental rug, Persian rug, or a hand-knotted piece. Padding adds cushion, protects floors, and preserves the rug’s structure and longevity.
We recommend Durahold™ rug padding for rugs on hard floors. It features a rubber bottom for grip and a textured fiber top to secure your rug in place without damaging your floor.
For rugs over wall-to-wall carpeting, we suggest Teebaud Non-Skid Rug Underlay. It’s designed specifically to prevent movement and bunching on soft surfaces.
Absolutely. Padding adds a layer of softness and cushioning underfoot, making your rug feel more luxurious. It also absorbs sound — ideal for multi-level homes or apartments.
Omni Rug Underlay is perfect for small rugs or runners in areas where height is limited. It provides a strong grip and stability without added bulk.
Not with Sharia-approved products. We only use premium, floor-safe rug pads that are compatible with all types of flooring, unlike cheaper alternatives that may leave residue or cause discoloration.
We offer custom cutting, but pads may not always be available for immediate pickup. We recommend calling ahead at (404) 373-2274 to place your order and avoid delays.
