FAQs
Can these be used on heated floors?
Yes, the materials are stable and can be used on most underfloor heating systems, though you should check your flooring manufacturer's guidelines first.
Will these leave marks on my hardwood floors?
No, the gripper is designed to be residue-free and should not damage or discolor standard finished hardwood floors.
How do I cut the material to size?
You can use standard household scissors to trim the gripper to any shape or size required for your specific application.
Can I use these on carpet?
These grippers are specifically designed for hard surfaces and will not provide the same anti-slip benefit when placed on top of wall-to-wall carpet.
Is the material waterproof?
Yes, the design is waterproof, making it safe for use in kitchens or bathrooms where moisture might be present.
Troubleshooting
The rug still slides after installation.
Ensure the floor surface is clean and free of dust or wax buildup. You may also need to increase the surface area of the gripper coverage.
The grip seems less effective than when new.
Dirt and dust often accumulate on the gripper. Hand wash with warm soapy water, rinse, and let it dry completely to restore tackiness.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: clean your floor thoroughly, lay the gripper flat, and place your rug directly on top. For the best fit, cut the gripper approximately 2-5cm smaller than the rug size to ensure it remains completely hidden. The product is compatible with all hard floor types, including sealed wood and polished stone. To care for your grippers, simply wipe them down with a damp cloth or hand wash in warm, soapy water. Allow them to air dry completely before placing them back on your floors to ensure maximum friction is restored.
