Runner Rug 2 ft x 78 ft Indoor/Outdoor Low Profile - Slip Resistant

Our review of the Runner Rug 2 ft x 78 ft finds it most useful for households that need a long, narrow floor covering that stands up to heavy use. The single biggest reason to buy is its combination of a low-profile 1/4 in pile and a non-slip rubber backing, which together make this rug easy to place under low-clearance doors and secure on smooth floors without an extra pad. The material is dense polyester with stain resistance and fade resistance, so it works well where spills and traffic are constant.

Key Features

• Low-profile pile: The 1/4 in pile keeps the rug comfortable underfoot while avoiding bulk that could snag under doors or create tripping hazards.
• Non-slip rubber backing: The rubber backing grips floors so the rug stays in place in entryways and hallways without needing an additional rug pad.
• Durable polyester construction: High-density polyester provides a non-shedding surface that resists fading and stands up to frequent vacuuming in busy areas.
• Easy care: Spot clean with mild soap, wipe spills quickly, and rotate periodically to prolong appearance and performance without dry cleaning.
• Custom sizes available: More than 200 sizes can be made to order, which allows trimming or using sections for stairs, shelves, or custom layouts.

Who It's For

This runner is ideal for homes with pets, children, or heavy foot traffic where a low-profile, easy-to-clean runner is needed in kitchens, hallways, entryways, garages, or RVs. People who want a rug that stays put without adding a separate pad will appreciate the non-slip rubber backing and the durable polyester face.

Shoppers who need plush cushioning or deep pile for extra comfort should look elsewhere, as this product is deliberately low profile at 1/4 in to allow door clearance and easier cleaning. Also, those who need machine-washable rubber-backed rugs should avoid machine washing this item to prevent backing damage.
