Custom Cut Rug Pads

Customer Questions & Answers

• Q:

  Are you able to make half-round rug pads? I see round is listed under shape, so I'm wondering if it could just be cut in half.

  A:

  Just select your shape and plug in the right dimensions. Then in the 'special instructions' box inform us that your rug is a half circle and we will cut the perfect fitting pad.

• Q:

  How much smaller than my rug will you cut the Superior Lock pad I am ordering?

  A:

  We will take between 1" and 1.5" off all sides depending on the thickness of the pad you select. Our custom cutting and trimming service will ensure that the pad is a perfect fit for your rug.

• Q:

  I have bought a pretty thick indoor/outdoor rug for my den. I am considering the Super Lock Natural and am wondering if I should order a pad that is one inch or two inches smaller than the rug.

  A:

  There's no need for you to worry about anything like that because we will figure it all out. Just enter your rug's exact dimensions on the site when you place your order. With our free custom cutting and trimming service we will take between 1" and 1.5" inches off all sides of your chosen pad so it will be a perfect fit for your rug.

• Q:

  Will I easily be able to cut the Contour Lock rug pad down to size?

  A:

  Yes, the Contour Lock 1/8" pad is very easy to cut at home.

• Q:

  We would like the Nature's Grip pad for a 15'1" x 6'1" rug but need it in one piece only. Is this possible?

  A:

  For that size rug, the Nature's Grip pad will come in one piece. When you plug in your rug's dimensions on our site it will tell you if we need to send two equal pieces.

• Q:

  I have an oddly shaped room that I need a rug pad for. How difficult is it to cut the Superior Lock pad to fit around nooks and doorways? If I send a floor plan with dimensions, would you be able to custom cut it to those specifications?

  A:

  Yes, just input the exact dimensions on our website, and we will cut the pad for you so that it fits perfectly.

• Q:

  Can your rug pads be cut to fit an oddly shaped rug like mine?

  A:

  Yes, we can cut a custom fitting pad for you as long as you plug in the exact dimensions on our website. You will be able to trim most of them as well. The Anchor Grip and Super Lock Natural pads are the easiest to trim.

• Q:

  We plan on using Eco Plush under bookcases and other stationary pieces of heavy furniture to prevent their bases from making indents on our luxury vinyl tile flooring. Since we plan on cutting the material what thickness would you recommend?

  A:

  I would suggest the 1/4" thickness to make it easier for you to cut.

• Q:

  I am looking at the Nature's Grip rug pad for my odd-sized 3'5" x 5'5" rug. If I order this pad will you automatically cut it so no edges peek out from under the rug?

  A:

  Yes, with our free custom cutting service, we will take 1" off all four sides so the pad will fit right under your rug.

• Q:

  I intend to order a rug pad that is 1/3" thick. Will it be difficult for us to cut it so that it conforms to the custom shape of our rug?

  A:

  If you are going to be cutting at home, I would say be careful and use a very good pair of carpet and fabric shears.

• Q:

  What pad do you recommend for a 9' x 13' area rug on a beautiful oak floor? It is big enough not to slide around and I would like minimal thickness. Also, is it recommended to offset the pad from the carpet's dimensions?

  A:

  I recommend our Eco Plush pad to protect and add some cushioning to your floor. This 100% heat-pressed felt pad comes in three thicknesses: 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2". With regards to the second part of your query, the answer is yes. If you bought a pad the same size as your rug it will never lay flush. So, with our free custom cutting and trimming service, we will cut one inch off all four sides.

• Q:

  I'm debating between rectangle and oval. I'm DIYing a faux fur rug and so I'm customizing the shape. I want the corners to be rounded but not too rounded like oval might be. Will I be able to cut the Eco Plush 1/4" rug pad to my desired shape?

  A:

  Yes, you will be able to. The Eco Plush 1/4" rug pad can be easily trimmed with a pair of good scissors.

• Q:

  Can your rug pads be cut to size? I am looking for a half round and other shapes.

  A:

  Yes, they can be. When you place your order online give us the exact dimensions of your rugs. You will also see a special instructions box where you can tell us what you want.

• Q:

  Can I cut the Nature's Grip pad at home?

  A:

  Yes, you can provided you have a really good pair of shears or a carpet blade.

• Q:

  When I order a rug pad is it possible not to get it cut down? I have a custom application.

  A:

  Yes, that’s fine. There is a box for special instructions. Just state that you do not want the pad to be cut down.

• Q:

  I just purchased a braided oval rug and want to order a pad. If you cut a pad to your standard size of oval, the corner curves may be different from the degree of curve in the rug, am I right? What do you usually do in the case of an oval?

  A:

  We do trim the pad to fit the rug. We cut oval all the same way. If you are still concerned, you could purchase a thinner pad that is easy for you to cut at home just in case the curves are different. But in most cases, the oval rug pads we cut are absolutely fine.

• Q:

  Is there a charge for your custom cutting service?

  A:

  No, there is no charge for custom cutting your rug pad. This is a free service we offer with every order. We will cut 1" off each side of the pad so that it's not visible and so your rug can taper over its edges properly.

• Q:

  Do you cut rug pads to size for an oval-shaped rug?

  A:

  Yes, we do. When you are on the product page of the pad you want you can enter your rug's dimensions and select an oval shape from the dropdown menu for rug shapes.
