Rug Pads: The Best Recycled Jute Rug Pad

<h1>Rug Pads: The Best Recycled Jute Rug Pad</h1>Author: <a title="Luis Santamaria" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/luis-santamaria/273820.htm">Luis Santamaria</a> Although there are excellent quality rug pads available containing real, natural rubber, there are people who shy away from this type of rug pad based on the myth that it may cause damage to their floors. This is true of some rubber based rug pads but not all. For those of us who prefer not to use a rubber based rug pad, the answer is simple. There is a great quality jute rug pad that is made for all types of area rugs on all types of floors and it is perfectly harmless. In this case, what is important is to choose the jute rug pad that is made of recycled materials and one that is a solid weight. Jute rug pads come in various weights and choose the 40 ounce weight if you can. The higher weight adds density and thickness and this is important for a few reasons. Be careful that the jute rug pad you choose does not contain a common, inexpensive material called polypropylene, or a form of plastic, as this may eventually harm your floor. I like one particular jute rug pad that is produced of recycled materials and does not contain any rubber, plastic or petroleum based products. The materials are mainly recycled wool and nylon carpet fibers that are needle punched together and compressed into a dense rug pad. The density of this pad is important in that it resists traffic and this protects the floor from indentations and scratches. Another important element of a dense jute rug pad is that it creates a solid foundation for the back of your rug and this minimizes any premature wear to the back of your rug from rubbing against the hard floor surface. Although there are various jute rug pad weights, the best jute rug pad available is a 40 ounce weight. This means there are 40 ounces of material per square yard of rug pad. This is important for all around protection to floors and rugs. The weight of this jute rug pad also adds comfort as well as sound insulation when needed. The best recycled jute rug pad is mold and mildew resistant as well as fire retardant. This rug pad does not contain any odor and does not breakdown or shed.
