Rug pad questions, answered.

The pad is cut to your rug's dimensions at the factory, then scored with perforations every 2 inches along the adjustable edges. On site you tear along a perforation line to remove a 2-inch strip, exactly like tearing a paper towel. No scissors, no measuring, no dust.

• How It Works
• Rug pads for interior designers

A scissorless install means the pad reaches its final size without a cutting tool. Because the pad ships cut to your rug size and perforated in 2-inch increments, any final adjustment is done by hand. Nothing sharp comes out on a client's floor.

• How It Works

Yes. Every UnderItAll pad is cut to order at the dimensions you provide, then perforated in 2-inch increments for final adjustment. There is no stock-size compromise and no in-store cutting table involved.

• How It Works
• Rug pads for rug retailers

Cutting from a roll costs labor, produces scrap you pay to dispose of, and rarely yields a straight edge on felt. A custom-cut pad arrives at the right size with a factory edge, and the 2-inch perforations still allow field adjustment.

• Rug pads for rug retailers

Luxe 1/4 inch is the trade default: it adds cushion, body, and acoustic damping under most rugs. Luxe Lite 1/8 inch is for low-profile situations such as door clearance, transitions, layered rugs, and thin flatweaves.

• Sizing guides

Yes. That is the point of the perforations. If the room or the rug measures differently than expected, pull along a perforation line to remove a 2-inch strip. It takes seconds per side and requires no tools.

• Installation FAQs

Measuring, taping, and hand-cutting a felt pad to a rug typically runs twenty to forty-five minutes per rug, plus cleanup. A perforated pad needs seconds per adjusted side and no cleanup, so most teams recover the better part of a working hour on a multi-rug install.

• Rug pads for design firms

None. Unroll the pad, let it relax for a moment, pull along a perforation line if the room requires adjustment, and set the rug on top. No shears, knives, tape, or adhesive.

• How It Works

Yes, when the material is right. A felt pad lifts the rug off the floor so grit cannot grind into the finish, cushions furniture load, and stops the rug from sliding and abrading. The risk comes from latex- and rubber-backed pads, which harden and break down over time and can leave a residue on a finish.

• Rug pads for flooring professionals

It can. Many hardwood and LVP manufacturers exclude damage caused by pads with latex, rubber, or adhesive backings, which degrade over time and can discolor a finish. A latex-free felt pad avoids that category of failure entirely.

• Rug pads for architects

Yes. Latex-free recycled felt is safe on luxury vinyl plank, porcelain, ceramic, marble, terrazzo, and sealed concrete. On very slick stone, the 1/4 inch pad's density gives the rug more to hold onto.

• Floors and protection FAQs

A custom-cut 1/4 inch recycled felt pad, latex free, sized to each rug. In high-end residences the floors and the rugs are both expensive, and the failure modes that matter are finish damage and visible pad edges, both of which are specification problems.

• Luxury rug care

100% post-recycled felted fiber — polypropylene, polyester, and nylon — densified into a uniform pad, with a Daisy Grip pattern that holds the rug and the floor. There is no latex rubber in it anywhere, which is what keeps it breathable and free of the odor rubberized pads are known for.

• About UnderItAll

Latex breaks down. Give it a few years and it hardens, crumbles, or turns tacky against the floor, and a pad stuck to a finish leaves a mark that only refinishing removes. Going latex-free removes that whole failure mode, and the odor that comes with it.

• Rug pads for architects

They are made in the USA and manufactured in Georgia, then cut to order and shipped from the same operation. Domestic manufacturing is what makes same-day cutting and one-to-three-day delivery realistic.

• About UnderItAll

Interior designers, design firms, architects and specifiers, rug and furniture retailers, showrooms, hospitality and contract designers, and flooring professionals. Approval requires business credentials such as a resale certificate or professional registration.

• Join Our Trade Program

Yes. UnderItAll sells to the trade, not to homeowners. Pricing, the full size range, and account support are available to credentialed design and retail professionals who apply and are approved.

• Join Our Trade Program

Yes. Trade professionals can request a sample set showing both thicknesses and the perforation in hand. Feeling the perforation separate is the fastest way to understand why the install is different.

Pads are cut and shipped the same or next business day, and typically arrive in one to three days. Because manufacturing and cutting happen in the same domestic facility, custom sizing does not add a lead-time penalty.

• Shipping and lead times

Interior designers overwhelmingly specify custom-cut felt pads rather than stock sizes, because a stock pad either shows at the edge or has to be trimmed on site. The trade standard is a 1/4 inch recycled felt pad cut to the rug's dimensions, latex free so it cannot damage a finished floor.

• Rug pads for interior designers

Retail pads are made to fit a shelf: a handful of stock sizes, usually a fiber-and-rubber composite. Trade pads are made to fit a rug: cut to order, denser felt, latex free, and supported by an account that can answer a lead-time question during a client meeting.

• About UnderItAll

A dense felt pad, latex-free, cut to the rug's exact dimensions. Antique Persian rugs fail first at the unsupported edge and under furniture load, so full coverage matters more than thickness. Avoid anything with a tacky backing, which can transfer to an aged foundation and cannot be reversed.

• Rug pads for fine rugs
• Luxury rug care

Luxe 1/4 inch suits most fine rugs — enough density to spread furniture load and add acoustic damping. Drop to Luxe Lite 1/8 inch where height is constrained: door clearance, floor transitions, layered rugs, thin flatweaves, and radiant heat.

• Luxe vs Luxe Lite

Yes, in two ways. An undersized pad leaves the perimeter unsupported, so every footstep flexes the foundation against a hard floor — that is where old rugs give out. And a latex or rubber backing can degrade and transfer onto an aged foundation, which is not reversible.

• Protecting hand-knotted and antique rugs

Felt is a densified fibre pad that cushions and supports. Rubber pads grip through a tacky backing. Hybrid pads bond the two. UnderItAll makes felt with a latex-rubber-free Daisy Grip, which holds mechanically rather than chemically — so there is no backing to harden, crumble, or mark a floor finish over time.

• Why latex-free matters
• How the Daisy Grip works

Both. Credentialed trade professionals can request a sample set showing each thickness and a live perforation, and approved accounts buy at trade pricing on every order with no minimum. Approval takes one to two business days with business credentials.
