The question 'What should you put under your carpet so it doesn't slip? ' should be as important as the choice of carpet. It is not about aesthetics, of course, but it is about home safety, a fundamental and often underestimated aspect. In many homes, carpets make a fine show as a furnishing element in many rooms. However, when they are not positioned correctly or do not have a non-slip base, they can pose a real danger to adults and children, especially in transit areas such as hallways.

In this article you will discover how important it is to provide a non-slip net under the carpet to prevent any accidents. With our practical advice, you can buy everything you need on the Olivo.shop website with complete peace of mind! 

If you are wondering what carpet anti-slip is for, you should know that slips and falls are a major cause of accidents in the home, especially in areas such as bathrooms, kitchens and hallways, where the floor can be wet or slippery. A carpet that moves or shifts unexpectedly can create dangerous situations, especially for the elderly and children. Using an anti-slip mat, therefore, is a smart, simple and effective measure to:

• Prevent falls and injuries:the anti-slip netting reduces the risk of slipping, and ensures that the mat adheres to the floor.
• Increase stability:keeping the mat in place helps preserve its position, preventing it from curling or moving as people or pets pass by.
• Protect the floor:An anti-slip base prevents the rug from moving around all the time and protects both the rug and the floor from wear and accidental damage.
• Extend the life of the rug: Minimising movement also reduces the wear and tear on the material, with the colours and texture remaining intact over time.

On our e-commerce Olivo.shop you can find various solutions to make your carpets safer and more stable. These include two types of anti-slip netting in different widths and cuttable in rolls. The perfect choice if you want to add safety at an affordable price and according to your room size.

Anti-slip carpet netting in roll form, 80 cm

This anti-slip carpet netting features a width of 80 cm, making it extremely versatile and suitable for carpets of various sizes. Made of rubber, the net adheres excellently to the floor and keeps the carpet firmly in place even in high traffic areas such as kitchens and living rooms. The roll format allows you to receive the exact size you need for the carpet you own.

His main features:

• Width: 80 cm, ideal for large carpets.
• Material: Rubber, tough and durable.
• Flexibility: Can be cut to size to fit the carpet perfectly.

Anti-slip net for roll carpets, 50 cm

For those looking for a more compact solution or needing to apply anti-slip to smaller carpets, the anti-slip net for roll carpets, 50 cm is the ideal choice. With the same qualities of grip and safety as the 80 cm version, this option is perfect for medium-sized carpets or areas where space is more limited. Again, the ability to cut the mesh to suit your carpet makes it extremely practical and customisable.

His main features:

• Width: 50 cm, suitable for medium-sized carpets or special applications.
• Material: made of durable rubber, ensures a secure grip.
• Versatility: easy to cut and adapt to any shape and size.
• Safety: ideal for preventing the risk of slipping in high-traffic environments.

The application of carpet anti-slip is not limited to one room. In fact, it is essential in every room of the house where the risk of slipping can be high. Here are some practical examples:

In the kitchen
Kitchens are dynamic environments where splashes of water or oil can easily make the floor slippery. A non-slip carpet in the kitchen, for example the Washable cotton kitchen carpet available on Olivo.shop, can be made safe by the use of a non-slip mesh. This carpet, made of cotton, offers a soft and comfortable surface, but to ensure maximum safety it is advisable to place an anti-slip net underneath it.

In the bathroom
The bathroom is one of the rooms most at risk due to the presence of water. Even a small rug without a non-slip backing, such as the Modern Cotton Rug available on Olivo.shop, can become a fall trap if not properly anchored to the floor. Using non-slip netting in the bathroom provides greater stability, preventing accidents, especially on wet surfaces.

In the kitchen and dining room
In addition to the kitchen, the dining room or other transition areas can also benefit from non-slip netting. The Washable cotton "Rigo" carpet with fringes, for example, is a decorative element that can be used in convivial spaces, where the risk of slipping increases when guests or children pass by. A well-positioned non-slip net ensures that the carpet remains firm, offering comfort and safety to those who use it.

Outdoors or transitional spaces
Not only inside the home, but also in covered outdoor areas or transitional spaces such as entrances and hallways, the use of non-slip nets can be a winning choice to avoid accidents. Although carpets with rubberised bottoms are often used in these cases, additional anti-slip solutions may be necessary in special situations.

Not all are non-slip carpets and often a carpet is chosen for its aesthetic qualities and the comfort of the material, such as cotton, which however does not in itself offer adequate adherence to the floor. Olivo.shop offers various solutions for carpets without a rubberised backing, designed to enhance the decor of the home, but which require the aid of a non-slip net to ensure maximum safety.

1. Washable Cotton Kitchen Rug
The Washable Cotton Kitchen Rug is practical and easy to clean. Made of high-quality cotton, this carpet is durable and perfectly suited for kitchen environments. Thanks to its composition, it can be machine washed, keeping it fresh and hygienic. However, to prevent it from slipping when preparing meals, it is advisable to use an anti-slip net to make it stable.

2. Modern cotton bathroom carpet
The modern cotton bathroom carpet is an ideal solution for contemporary bathroom design. Thanks to the cotton, the carpet effectively absorbs water, keeping your feet dry and safe. In addition to its elegant design and ability to add a touch of style to the room, the use of an anti-slip mesh is indispensable, especially in an environment where the risk of slipping is high.

3. Washable cotton 'Rigo' carpet with fringes
With the washable cotton 'Rigo' carpet with fringes, we offer you a product that is both elegant and practical for rooms such as kitchens and living rooms. Although it is machine washable and has an attractive design, however, it does not have an integrated non-slip bottom. The addition of an anti-slip mesh allows it to complement and fully exploit its decorative qualities without compromising safety.

4. Natural" organic cotton bath mat
The "Natural" organic cotton bath mat stands for sustainability and functionality. Handmade and available in two sizes, this carpet is distinguished by its assorted geometric patterns, a decorative element with great impact. Its natural and refined touch for the bathroom can be enhanced by a simple non-slip net that makes it safe for a space where water is always present.

Installing non-slip netting to the carpet you will be purchasing is a simple operation, but one that requires care for best results. Here are some practical tips for positioning it correctly and making your product a fully-fledged non-slip carpet!

1. Measure your carpet:before purchasing non-slip netting on Olivo.shop, it is important to measure the dimensions of your carpet accurately. This will allow you to choose the most suitable size, be it the 80 cm or 50 cm version you have seen before.
2. Cut the net to size: Once you have chosen the size, cut the net so that it fits perfectly to the shape of the carpet. Be sure to leave a small safety margin on each side to ensure that the netting does not lift up.
3. Clean the floor:Before positioning the netting, it is best to clean the floor thoroughly to remove dust and debris that could affect its adhesion.
4. Position the netting:Stretch the non-slip netting on the floor, ensuring that it adheres perfectly to the surface. If you are using roll netting, follow the instructions to achieve an even adhesion.
5. Position the carpet: Gently lay the carpet over the non-slip netting, ensuring that there are no creases or air bubbles that could affect its stability.
6. Check the adhesion: Finally, walk lightly over the carpet to check that the netting is doing its job correctly. If the mat is still moving, it may be necessary to reposition or cut the net further.

In addition to the obvious safety benefits, the use of an anti-slip carpet netting also has other benefits that contribute to the well-being and care of the home. Which ones?

Keeping the carpet in place reduces the wear and tear on the material, preventing damage caused by continuous rubbing against the floor.

A carpet that stays in place enhances the décor, preventing movement that can spoil the harmony of the room.

With the carpet firmly anchored in place, cleaning and maintenance becomes easier, as the risk of accidental slipping during washing is reduced.

Antilisk nets are not only reserved for carpets with non-rubberized bottoms. They can also be used as an additional support for carpets with a non-slip bottom, providing extra safety in particularly slippery environments.

The choice of what to put under the carpet to prevent it from slipping is fundamental to ensuring safety in your home. Using an anti-slip net, such as those available in rolls from Olivo.shop (both the H 80 cm and H 50 cm versions), not only prevents accidents and falls, but also helps to keep the rug stable and in perfect condition over time.

Whether it is a washable cotton kitchen rug, an elegant modern bathroom rug, the elegant 'Rigo' fringed rug or the natural 'Natural' bathroom rug made of organic cotton, the use of non-slip netting is a practical and indispensable solution for those who do not want to compromise on safety or style. As well as protecting the occupant, this solution helps to preserve the beauty and functionality of the rugs, making them a reliable and long-lasting piece of furniture.

Investing in non-slip netting means caring not only for your home environment, but also for your own safety and that of your loved ones. Don't let a simple detail, such as the movement of the carpet, become the cause of accidents: choose safety, choose quality and customise your space with the solutions offered by Olivo.shop.
