Ideal for Hard Floors

AKO Profilo V Anti-Slip Underlay is ideal for use beneath rugs on wooden floors, tiled floors, stone floors, flagstones and old floorboards. It is especially useful on uneven surfaces, helping to reduce rug movement and prevent uneven wear.

The anti-skid grid helps keep your rug securely positioned, reducing the risk of the rug moving beneath your feet. It also provides additional cushioning and comfort, making hard floors feel softer underfoot.

Suitable for Underfloor Heating

The open mesh structure allows air to circulate, making this rug underlay suitable for use on hard floors with underfloor heating systems.

What Is AKO Profilo V Underlay Made From?

AKO Premium Profilo V Underlay is made from PES and glass fibre yarn coated on both sides with a special PVC foam. This creates a durable, flexible and resilient anti-slip grid structure suitable for a wide range of household applications.

How to Use AKO Profilo V Underlay

1. Measure the size of your rug.
2. Unroll the required length of underlay.
3. Cut the underlay slightly smaller than the rug so it remains hidden from view.
4. Place the underlay flat on the floor.
5. Position the rug over the top.

For large rugs, lay multiple lengths of underlay side by side to cover the required area. Use General Purpose Cloth Duct tape to join the lengths together and help keep them correctly positioned and prevent separation post-installation.
