Will this keep rugs in place over hardwood floors?

I found that this product works well on non-porous surfaces; it doesn't work well on rugs and carpeting but I've used this product, Duck Brand 519244 Hold-It Adhesive for Rugs, that is a roll of double-sided tape that works very well and doesn't damage the surface of the floor or stain the carpeting. Amazon carries this product if of interest. Hope this helps!!

I found it ineffective in holding down small objects on the counter in our RV so I wouldn't trust it to hold a rug in place on hardwood floors.

No way. My pictures move now, even with the putty sticking them to the wall, and then and I have to restraighten them. No earthquake. Just a stray breeze or something. Your carpet would stay stuck for a minute.

I don't think it would work well over the rubber guard. I took off the guard that was there anyway because I couldn't get it adjusted correctly so it wouldn't scratch my wood floor. These little twin guards work great for me.

We have rugs and hardwood so I can't answer about carpet, but it worked fine on the rugs

yes,just have to unfold. it works if you place on a non skid rug.like with a rubber backing.

I think it will really struggle with rugs. I would spend the extra on a roomba. I had to return one of these because it would struggle switching surfaces.

Yes, this stays put very well. I too use it on my hardwood floor. It's a very substantial product. It won't move. In fact, the ONLY problem I have had with it is that I left it open for a few minutes after use and my cat got to it as a scratching pad! That, it cannot withstand!

Hi Darren! I put an extra blanket over the cover they provide on top of the bed I keep outside and it works great through the blanket but I don't know if it would work with a rug over it. In my opinion it would depend upon how thick the rug is. But it does work very well with a blanket over it. I'm sorry I can't fully answer your question but I do hope this information is helpful!

Haven't personally tried, but it's a tension system so if you make sure the tension is enough before locking it down it ought to stay put. If there's a chance of the rug being pulled out from under it, so to speak, I would think twice. But on wall-to-wall shouldn't be a problem.

There are no "grabbers" on the back of this mat so it'll probably still move around a bit on a rug/carpet but it will definitely keep the flooring out of the way of a chair. Hope that helps.

I don't think it will slip. I do not use it on carpet, but have an area rug. That works fine.

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 can't say for sure, but with this foam not having a cloth cover, it stays in one place much better than those with a cover (a prior experience), ...so my guess is that it would stay where you put it. If not, you could purchase the thin, non-skid, flexible meshes, often used under small scatter rugs, and the foam would more than likely, stay in one place.

I've got 2 of these. One for the 1st floor and one for the 2nd (Yeah, I know - I'm too lazy to carry the thing up and down the stairs). I have hardwood floors throughout and 9 different area/throw rugs scattered about. Haven't had any significant issues. Though if the rug has long tassels, I could see them potentially getting tangled in the brush. Another potential issue is if the rug is unusually deep (like a heavy shag), it might have some trouble making the transition from floor to rug.

I believe it will unless the carpet is high. I have wood floors and an area rug and my grand-kids seemed to do alright pushing it on the rug. It is a little harder going from floor to rug. This is a really sturdy cart and made so it will not tip over easy. My grand-kids love it.

The rack uses a lever to slightly expand the length of the rack to lock it in place between the floor and the ceiling. As long as the carpet is stable (i.e. not prone to slipping), then this rack should work. The rack will fail to hold if the base is easily displaced. A slick floor, sloped floor, or easily moved rug or carpet would cause the rack locking mechanism to become ineffective.

Yes. The only place it won't go is hardwood floors onto a really thick (1-2 inch ) rug. I have a large area rug and it just goes along the side and won't go over the hump

Yes, I have wooden floors also. It will stay in place while you exercise. I have an area where I exercise and the mat stays down until I pick it up, no slipping.
