5 Ways to Prevent Carpets from Slipping on the Floor

In most homes, floors are decorated with carpets or small rugs. They create a special coziness, transform the interior, and insulate the room.

The only drawback is that they are difficult to fix. Constant movement and sliding not only eventually becomes annoying. But it can also lead to the residents of the house falling and getting injured.

However, slipping can be prevented in several ways:

Underlay

Underlay will prevent slipping. But it is important to choose and use it correctly.

Use a tape measure to measure the length and width of the carpet. If it is not possible to purchase an underlay exactly the size of the floor covering, buy a larger product and then cut off the excess.

It is recommended to use a vinyl backing. Rubber or plastic products can ruin a wooden floor.

Prepare 4 strips of double-sided tape or special carpet tape according to the size (length, width). Glue them to the underside of the carpet along the edges. If necessary, stick additional adhesive tapes in the center to more securely attach the backing. Peel off the protective film. Apply the backing, press well.
