Frequently Asked Questions
Why tape down rugs?
Rug edges curl and catch feet. Rugs slip on hard floors. Taping them down keeps edges flat and stops movement. Safer but you keep your rugs.
What tape do you use?
Double-sided carpet tape or non-slip backing - depends on the floor and rug. We choose what works for your situation.
Can you tape any rug?
Most rugs, yes. Some delicate or antique rugs may not be suitable - we'll advise if that's the case.
Is removal an option?
Yes - sometimes it's safer to remove rugs entirely. We can discuss both options and do what works best for you.
