can I put a rug on top of this mat?

it would depend on the type of rug. it was have to have a non slip back or it would slip around.

Yes, they grip floors perfectly so rug will work like extra padding over them

Hi. The closest I'd have to area rugs are the extra mats that I put down in our front entrance for the winter months. The vacuum suction can be lowered very easily [there's a dial on the vacuum to increase/decrease suction power] so I do not have any issues.Regards,Duane

I think it would depend on the weight of the frig and the thickness of the carpet. While the mat is very substantial, I don't think it would be suitable under a full size frig, especially on a deep pile rug. It may work o.k. under a compact frig like the ones found in some hotel rooms.

No- I don't believe so. It is okay on a rug though. It really doesn't roll around.

I am sorry I cannot help you as my mat is on carpet. If you find out the answer let me know as we are about to replace the area's carpet with wood flooring.

No, I have hardwood floors and I put a thick blanket between it and the floor. I would lay it directly on carpet though.

I do not see why not. Just remember you can not walm on it for some time and no rugs or furniture for days.

Yes but it will be hard to move. If it's on carpet it will not roll out from under them. if on bare floor you will need to buy caps for the legs to prevent it scratching your floors.

I do not have a problem with mine going from hardwood to rugs. The rugs we have aren't super thick- as they are generally in front of an outside door etc. I think as long as there is a good backing on the rug where it won't move significantly it would be fine even on thicker rugs.

I wouldn't think so, it's more of a soft material. I would definitely suggest taking an additional mat

Place the mat under the legs. My problem was that this mat won't stay in-place on carpet anyway.

Mine is on tile floor. Depending on the thickness & pile of the rug, it may wobble somewhat.

I don't see why not. It is flat on both sides, not like the rug ones with the little nubs. I has an anti slip side and works great. I have wood floors, and it stays in place. It is made to protect the surface under it, so it doesn't matter what that is.

I just don't think it would be stable enough on a rug to give an accurate weight unless it's a very thin rug. So, I guess MY answer would no. I wouldn't set mine up on a rug.

The instructions say to use it outside but if the foyer is tile it should be ok. Do not put it on any soft surface or carpet. The rubber backing may melt. Bear in mind this is only a 36" mat but the mat itself will be warm and it may even warm up a couple of inches of the floor around it too.

Use a slipping mat. The stuff that usually goes under the rug to keep it from sliding. That should help

Yes...as mentioned by another, if the rug is lightweight, make sure you don't use too much suction, or stand close to where you're vacuuming so it doesn't lift up. Be caeful with tassels, also
