Why an anti-slip underlay?

'Shall I go for a patchwork or a high-pile rug?' After much deliberation you've made a choice. You've found the perfect vintage rug for your bedroom. At the sight of the refined patterns, you can't contain your joy. How lovely! Until the moment you tripped over your brand new rug. Ouch! The rug turned out to be quite moveable due to the refined material. Although you got away without injury, it wasn't pleasant. How do you prevent your next trip? Meet the anti-slip underlay. Add an anti-slip underrug as an essential with every rug purchase and you're always playing it safe. Not only is it safer, but there are many benefits to it. What exactly are these? Volero lists them for you!

Eliminates the risk of slipping and tripping

Your rug is essentially glued to the floor by the underlay. An anti-slip underlay is made from synthetic polyester fleece, this is flexible material that mainly ensures extra stability. It provides a resilient foundation for your rug. You could say that rugs are a soft surface for a fall – but with an underlay you prevent this completely. Slipping with the rug will barely happen to you anymore! Do you have a busy toddler at home? They too will be less likely to trip. The underlay also removes ugly curls on the corners of the rug. Not only a benefit for looks, but certainly for safety and living comfort!

Keep your rug beautiful and young

Extend the lifespan of your brand new carpet? An anti-slip underlay can play a big role in this. Vacuuming has never been so easy now your rug stays perfectly in place! Your rug won't develop unevenness when there are no wrinkles in the carpet. Thin rugs are more vulnerable to lumps and curls. The underlay reinforces your rug. This way your carpet not only looks sleek and well-kept, it also gets a full, sturdy appearance. What more could you want?

Psst, does the underlay itself need maintenance? You can simply wash an anti-slip underrug. Don't do this too hot, thirty degrees is recommended. Don't worry, the anti-slip effect won't be reduced by this.

An anti-slip underlay preserves both rug and floor

Bad memories of a shedding rug or scratches on the laminate? When you buy an anti-slip underlay, these nightmares are a thing of the past. A rug that constantly shifts causes friction and possible scratches. So buy an anti-slip underlay to keep not only your carpet but also your floor beautiful! An underlay prevents so-called friction. Keep both your rug and your floor scratch-free. Not entirely unimportant: an underlay doesn't leave adhesive residue on the floor.

Completely convinced? But oops! You bought the wrong size? The anti-slip underlay is easy to trim to a smaller size so it matches your rug perfectly. Volero sells the underlay in multiple sizes, for every rug you could want. The underlay contains no harmful substances or plasticisers, it's made from 100% synthetic polyester fleece with acrylic impregnation. Do you have underfloor heating? Don't worry about cold feet because the underlay has no effect on the warmth given off by the underfloor heating.

Gives your rug extra softness

Perhaps the biggest reason to order an anti-slip underlay... your rug feels thicker and therefore softer when you walk on it. Think of it as an extra layer of softness under your already soft rug. Your feet sink deeper into the rug, making it feel softer and more luxurious. Especially recommended for high-pile rugs!

In short: an anti-slip underlay gives your rug more luxury, a longer lifespan and brings more safety when in use. Enjoy your rug longer, more stylishly and safely with an anti-slip underlay!
