Q:How much padding would I need to cover a total of 35 yrads
by|Apr 16, 2024
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Thank you for your question. One roll of Contractor 3/8" is 6' x 45' which is 30 square yards. If you need 35 square yards, you can purchase one full troll of Contractor and then purchase one roll of the Trafficmaster Area Rug pad which is a 6x8 roll and gives you the extra 5 square yards you need. The Area Rug pad is the same product as the Contractor.

          Q:Can this pad be used under an area rug on a plank luxury vinyl tile flooring?
          by|Jun 23, 2023
          2 Answers
          Answer This Question

          A:  Yes it could. I just don't know how you would hold them in place. You might could use carpet tape to hold them to rug. You of course would not want to put tape or adhesive on your nice floor.

          by|Jun 30, 2023

            A:  Thank you for your question. Yes, this product can be used under and area rug on top of a luxury plank vinyl tile. This product would give you the added comfort you are looking for with your area rug.

              Works well
              It’s easy to work with carpet padding. It provides enough padding for rooms that don’t have cement/concrete flooring.

              Has some extremely hard material in it. After walking on top of it decided it needed to be cut out. Some spots were already ripped, or had missing material. While moving it around a piece of hard plastic or glue fell out, which was huge. If it went under without being noticed it would definitely hurt if you stepped on it. For the price, you get a good amount of it. 3/5

                bad math in lake wales, florida 33853
                I only needed 120sq feet of padding. Both sales associates sent me home with 3 rolls of this padding. * one roll covers 250 sq feet!! I didnt know this untill after reading the reviews. So anyway i kept one roll and had plenty left over to cover the room a second time. So now the pad is 3/8x2 thick and equal to 10lb rather then its orignal 5 lbs

                  Great for sound insulation too
                  I used this padding under all my apartments through rugs with better then expected results. Walking on the floor can no longer be heard by my down stairs neighbor. It is super soft on the feet and helps to hold the rugs in place. It also insulates against bad weather too. One unsuspecting feature of the padding was how well it reduced echos and improved overall acoustics of the place. I ended up making cool acoustic panels by mounting the padding on thin wood covered in a speaker grill cloth. Placed around the apartment, our conversations can no longer be heard outside of the thin walls and the home theater sounds awesome. Worth it!
