A:  You will want to trim enough of the rug pad to allow the edges of the rug to lay flat at the edges to the floor. A general rule that works for most rug thicknesses is to allow a 1" border around the rug pad. So on your example on a 8x10 rug - a rug pad would be trimmed to 96"x118".

A:  I am unable to answer the question other than to say that I believe I went to the distributor and or the manufacturer and asked them the same question when I was shoping for a pad because we were placing the pad on high end wood floors and wanted to ensure that the pad would not damage the wood. I suggest you get the answer to your question from the manufacturer. Good luck.

A:  If your deck is covered, then use of the Premium All-Surface rug pad will work. If outside to the elements of rain, the key to an outdoor rug pad is to help the area rug dry out quickly. The needled fiber pad will have a tendency to hold the moisture under the area rug.

A:  Yes, this would protect your hardwood floors. Recommendation is that the fiber side is placed up with the rubber side down. This will aide in the couch from sliding, but will be able to be moved with resistance in short moves.

A:  Yes, you would place the rubber side down on hard surfaces. Follow the instructions on the wood polish manufacturer used to make sure that the appropriate amount of time is planned to allow the wood polish finish to dry and cure before placement of the rug pad & area rug.

A:  That is how I am using it. I would assume no problems.
