• Duo-lock Pads are a better-quality, thicker pad and the most common pad that we recommend. Designed for 4 x 6 or larger-sized area rugs on any hard surface or wall-to-wall carpet when you’re not using heavy furniture on the rug. (See below No Muv Pad for heavy furniture use with an area rug on top of wall-to-wall carpeting).

Durahold pads keep the rug from stretching out of shape, secure it in place, and add luxurious cushion to the feel of your rug. Like all rug pads, the rug pad must be cut to fit the rug by trimming the pad 1 ½" inches smaller than the rug itself on all four sides. This will make the rug lay smoothly over the edge of the pad to avoid a tripping hazard. Very important! You must use a carpet knife with a fresh blade for trimming!

• Teebaud Pad is a thin pad designed for smaller rugs, runners, and rugs with a slick backing. Slick backing refers to a very highly dense machine-made rug. Teebaud Pads are also designed for smaller rugs on top of wall-to-wall carpet or hard surfaces to keep them from crawling. It really locks the rug in place!
  The grey side of the pad is for hard surfaces, and the white side is for wall-to-wall carpeting. When this pad is applied to a hard surface, it will leave a slight residue on the floor. But don't fret! If you take a clean white cloth, apply 409 to the towel (not the floor), and gently rub, no harm will be done to your floors! Frequent removal of the pad is not necessary with every cleaning. Just vacuum and then take a damp cloth and go around the edges of the rug. Frequent removal of the pad should be avoided, as its tackiness will wear off. Remember to always ask the installer of new hardwood how long you should wait before placing any pads on the newly installed hardwood!
• Grip It Solid Rug Pads are designed for 5 x 8 or larger rugs going on hard surfaces when you don’t really need the extra cushion, and it’s not in a lived-in area, breakfast table, formal dining, etc. This thinner pad will also work better where constant chair movement is involved in the application. Grip It Pad comes in standard sizes and is very easy to trim with a nice pair of scissors. It also requires you to trim 1 ½ inches off all four sides of the rug.
  
  
• No Muv Rug Pad, most people don’t even know this pad exists!!

It's firmer to the touch and designed to prevent an area rug from buckling where the legs of the furniture sit when you’re using an area rug on top of wall-to-wall carpeting. This rug pad must be cut to fit the rug as well by trimming the pad 1 ½" inches smaller than the rug itself on all four sides. This will make the rug lay smoothly over the edge of the pad to avoid a tripping hazard. Very important! You must use a carpet knife with a fresh blade for trimming and be very careful not to cut the carpet underneath!

No Muv pad can't be folded when shipped.
