Felt Backing

Felt is one of the most popular secondary backing fabrics for hand tufted rugs because of its many advantages. One of the main advantages of using felt as a secondary backing fabric for hand tufted rugs is that it provides extra strength and stability to the rug. Felt is a dense, non-woven fabric which gives the rug additional support, making it more durable and less likely to warp or wear out over time.

Felt also provides additional cushioning and insulation to the rug, making it more comfortable to walk on and reducing noise levels. This is especially important if the rug is going to be used in a high-traffic area. Additionally, felt is resistant to mold and mildew, making it a great choice for areas with high humidity levels.

Finally, felt is relatively easy to install and comes in a variety of colors and textures, making it easy to customize the look of a hand tufted rug. As a result, felt is an ideal choice for secondary backing fabric for hand tufted rugs.
