Preventing rugs from sliding on a laminate floor

Laminate has been one of the most popular flooring options in the Netherlands for years. It is affordable, easy to maintain, and available in countless designs. However, laminate has one disadvantage: its smooth top layer means that rugs and runners can easily slide.

With a high-quality anti-slip mat for laminate, your rug will stay in place better. This not only increases safety in your home but also protects both the rug and the floor from unnecessary wear and tear.

Why does a rug slide on laminate?

Laminate has a hard and smooth finish, which results in little friction between the floor and the underside of a rug.

This can cause a rug to:

  • slowly slide;
  • become crooked;
  • develop curled corners;
  • wear out faster.

An anti-slip mat provides extra grip between the floor and the rug, significantly reducing these problems.

Is an anti-slip mat safe for laminate?

Yes, in most cases.

A high-quality anti-slip mat is designed for use on hard floors like laminate. However, always check the maintenance and warranty conditions of your floor's manufacturer to ensure the chosen combination is suitable.

If in doubt, test the anti-slip mat in an inconspicuous area first.

The benefits of an anti-slip mat on laminate

An anti-slip mat offers several advantages:

  • More grip between floor and rug

  • Extra safety for children and the elderly
  • Less wear and tear on the floor and rug
  • Fewer curled corners
  • More comfort when walking

What size anti-slip mat do you need?
