You might have thought of putting a rug under your pool table. Rugs are a great way to provide additional support and stop movement during play. They can reduce noise and let you style the space. However, you should be aware of the disadvantages of using rugs.
First, be careful when moving a pooltable on carpets. You can easily damage the floor when you move it across a hardwood floor. Carpet will become divots from the impact of your legs. A drop sheet or cover can be used to protect the carpet. Another drawback is that you will have to re-level it.
If you want a rug to be level, it will need to be re-levelled under a pool table. You may also need to re-level the rug after a few months. Because the carpet will settle, the pool table's level status will change.
Your rugs may also be stained by the pool liquid. Rugs can be contaminated by chalk and balls. For that reason, it's a good idea to clean your rugs at least once a month.
If you don't have the budget to purchase a rug, you can consider installing linoleum flooring instead. Linoleum flooring is durable and easy to install. However, it won't protect the floor the way that a rug will.
A square or circular area rug will give your game room a traditional feel. You also have the option of a range of sizes for area rugs. The size of the area rug should be appropriate for the table's dimensions. A pool table placed on a rug protects your floor and reduces the chance of you slipping.
Pool tables are very heavy. Many people bump them while walking, or when making shots. It can be very difficult to get rid of these dents. It is important to choose a rug that is thick enough to protect the floor underneath it.
Finding a rug can be difficult. You may not be able to find a quality rug that is affordable, but you may struggle to find one that suits your needs. Consider your room, your pool table, and the style of your home. If you're a minimalist, consider a muted color. On the other hand, if you like to add a lot of style to your room, go for a colorful rug.
You might need a rug 3 to 4 feet wide, depending on the size your pool table. Avoid wrinkles and bunching. For this purpose, wrap the rug around your table's feet and slide the rug under it.
A rug underneath your pool table can help to protect the flooring, reduce noise and let you style the room. However, it is important to watch your pool table and make sure you check it regularly.
