Question:

Will a jute backed rug scrape up a laminate wood floor?

I want to put a rug down in the middle of my living room that has laminate wood floor. I have a couple of larger dogs that tend to run aound on occasion. The current rug has a smooth back and slides when they skid to a stop on it. The replacements that I've looked at all have the jute back and I'm concerned that when they cause this type to slide across the floor, over time it will behave like sandpaper and scuff the floor. I know I can put a rubber anti slip pad on the back to prevent some of it, but won't it still eventually scuff the wood laminate over time around the edges?

Answer:

You need a rug grip for a rug to floor application. You can get these inexpensively at Target or Home Depot, although they can vary in quality, so buy the best one you can afford. They come in standard sizes, but can easily be cut to fit. Get a size that will cover the entire area of the rug up to one inch of the edges. You'll be glad you did.
