You've likely considered installing a rug beneath your pool table. Rugs provide support and can prevent you from moving during play. They can be used to style your space and reduce noise. But, you need to be aware that there are some disadvantages to using rugs.
First, when you move a pool table on carpets you need to be careful. It's easy to damage the floor, especially if you're moving it across a hardwood floor. The legs will leave divots in the carpet. A drop sheet or tarp can help protect the carpet. Another disadvantage is that you'll need to re-level the table.
You will have to re-level the rug if it is to be placed under a pooltable. You may also need to re-level the rug after a few months. This is because the pool table will settle and lose its level status as the carpet settles.
You can also get stains on your rugs from the liquid in your swimming pool. The rugs could be stained by chalk or balls. You should clean your rugs at the very least once per month.
You can install linoleum flooring if you don’t have the funds to buy a rug. Linoleum flooring is durable and easy to install. However, it will not protect floors the same as a rug.
If you prefer a traditional look for your game room, you can choose an area rug in a square or circular shape. 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.
The weight of pool tables is quite heavy. Many people bump them while walking, or when making shots. These dents can be difficult to remove. You should choose a rug thick enough to protect your floor.
Finding the right rug can be difficult. Although it is possible to find an affordable rug of good quality, you might have difficulty finding the right rug for your needs. Take into account the space, style and pool table of your home. If you're a minimalist, consider a muted color. If you want to add style and color to your space, choose a vibrant rug.
A rug between 3-4 feet in width may be required depending on the size of your pool tables. Avoid bunching and wrinkles. For this purpose, wrap the rug around your table's feet and slide the rug under it.
A rug can be used under your pool table to reduce noise, protect it, and give you the opportunity to decorate the room. But be sure to keep an eye on your pool table and check it out regularly.
