Title: Carpet Gripper
Post by: PhilRich on 15 January 2012, 20:19:18
Can anyone recommend a carpet gripper to stop rugs sliding on a laminate floor? I've just had the living/dining room carpet removed & replaced with laminate but my 3 Jack Russells are dashing up & down the length of the house at full speed & riding the flying carpets rugs into the double glazed patio doors at a hell of a lick!  :D ;D :y

There are a few things including a tape.

The best stuff seems to be the rubber stuff that some people use for tools etc

Silicone acetate.


(bathroom sealant that smells like fish and chips, (vinegar) not of ammonia (stale piss.... )


spread it liberally in lines across the area to be covered,  then put the rug down  on it and weight it down....

(as long as we're talking thick non high value rugs)

once it cures the rug will stay fixed in place, but can be peeled off later without damaging the floor.

if you object to the back of the rug being covered in the stuff, ( it does NOT easily come out of fabrics)
a smart move is to use a backing rug ,  of something heavy that won't let it bleed right through while curing,  with strips of velcro around the edges if necessary, and the posh rug on top....


or you can just lay it on top, it will at least not go flying so easily.


you get the idea by now i'm sure....



i use the stuff regularly for work,  fixing open cell foam panels to walls and ceilings, as well as rugs to floors.....


it still  peels off after several years with not too much trouble....   but doesn't peel off by itself just to annoy you.....    usually even if you get it wet.

During the course of my adult life I have had the pleasure of knowing at least one 'carpet gripper' and all I can say is thank God for their ability and tenacity. :-* :-*
