Keep Your Rug, Lose The Risk
Love your rug but it's becoming a hazard? Edges curl, it slides? Securing tape fixes this. Flat edges, no movement, keep the rug you love safely.
💡 Pro tip: Rug tape is better than rug grippers for most situations. Grippers can bunch up - tape keeps the whole edge flat.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the tape work?
Double-sided tape goes under the rug edges, sticking to both floor and rug. Keeps edges flat and stops sliding. Won't damage floors when removed.
Will it damage my floor?
No - we use proper rug tape that peels off cleanly. Won't leave residue on wood, laminate, or vinyl. Safe for all floor types.
Can you secure any rug?
Most rugs yes - cotton, wool, synthetic. Some very thick or backed rugs may need different solutions. We check and advise.
How long does it last?
Rug tape lasts months to years depending on traffic. We can redo it when needed. Much better than curling edges.
