Rug Pads for Interior Designers

Designed for the way designers actually install: one visit, one crew, one shot at the reveal.

Short answer

Rug Pads for Interior Designers

Interior designers use custom-cut felt rug pads sized to the exact rug rather than trimming a stock pad on site. UnderItAll pads arrive perforated in 2-inch increments, so a designer or installer peels the pad to size by hand in seconds, with no scissors, no dust, and no measuring on a client's floor.

What gets in the way

The problems this actually solves.

Cutting a pad on a client's floor is a bad look

Kneeling on a finished floor with shears in front of a client undoes the impression you spent months building. It also produces felt dust that ends up in drapery, upholstery, and HVAC returns.

Stock sizes never match the rug

A 9x12 pad under a 8'11" x 12'2" rug leaves you either short on one side or trimming freehand. Neither result is what you specified.

Install day is the least flexible day of the project

Rugs land on the same day as art, accessories, and photography. Time spent fighting a pad is time taken from styling.

What changes

What an install-ready pad gives back.

Perfect fit, specified once

Order the pad at the rug's finished dimensions. It arrives cut to size with perforated edges for final adjustment.

Minutes, not an hour

Peeling perforations to a final size takes seconds per side, compared with measuring, taping, and cutting felt by hand.

Client-ready presentation

No shears, no offcuts, no felt dust on a newly finished floor.

Trade-only pricing

Credentialed designers get trade pricing, dedicated support, and access to the full size range.

Answers

Interior Designers: frequently asked questions

The answers this audience asks for most, with links to the detail behind each one.

What rug pads do interior designers use?

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.

Can rug pads be custom cut?

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 do perforated rug pads work?

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.

Who qualifies for the UnderItAll trade program?

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.

How much time do perforated rug pads save on an install?

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.
