Because the felt cushion is made of recycled polypropylene, it is scratchy enough to hold without damage. If you have hard floors, you place the felt side up, against the back of your area rug, with the rubber against the floor.

Once you find a quality recycled thick jute rug pad for your outdoor rug, now look at the density, or weight. Jute rug pads come in 20, 28, 32 and 40 ounce weights. The higher the weight, the more dense and thick the rug pad and the better the rug pad is. The recycled jute is needle punched together to compress into a thick rug pad. The amount of fiber used is determined by the ounces, or weight. Hence, a 40 ounce jute rug pad means there are 40 ounces of material per square yard of rug pad. This means that the rug pad is extremely dense and will resist quite well to protect the back of your rug from premature wear as well as protect your floors. One more aspect of a denser rug pad is that it does not shed or breakdown easily.

I just had a cork plank floor installed in my kitchen and the pad I got for the flatweave throw rugs is not holding them in place. Any suggestions for what sort of pad would be safe for the floor and keep the rugs in place?
