The Benefits of Recycled Jute Rug Pads
Recycled jute rug pads are an excellent choice for use under area rugs are hardwood and all wood floors. There are two types of rug pads that contain jute. The first is a 100% recycled jute rug pad and the second is one that consists of the same jute along with a layer of solid rubber on the bottom. This pad is useful for rugs that tend to slip.
Material
The material in the recycled jute rug pad is usually made from recycled carpet fibers. These are not used carpet fibers but ones that are excess from various carpet mills. The fibers are compressed together through a needle punching process to produce a rug pad dense enough to protect both rug and floor, yet soft enough to add extra comfort.
Safe for all Floors
Since recycled jute rug pads do not contain anything harmful to floors, they can be used on all types of floors, even laminate floors. There is nothing in the rug pad that can react negatively with any type of floor.
Noise and Sound Insulation
Jute rug pads, particularly the 40 ounce weights, can reduce and eliminate noise from above. For apartments or multi-level homes, walking on hardwood floors can lead to sound and noise. This can be disturbing to most people living below and a dense jute rug pad under rugs will absorb much of the sound and noise.
Mold and Mildew Resistant
The recycled jute pad is mold and mildew resistant. This is a great feature for areas of humidity or dampness. Due to the nature of the jute, this rug pad is also capabale of being used on concrete floors and in basements.
CRI Green for Air Quality
The recycled jute rug pads are CRI rated for clean air quality. The rug pad does not contain any chemicals, latex or adhesives and is odor free.
Comfortable
Although rug pads should be used for protection of rug and floor, they can also add comfort. The 40 ounce recycled jute adds between 1/4 and 1/2 of an inch of extra comfort. This is especially useful in rooms such as bedrooms and family rooms where people tend to sit and gather on the rug at times.
