Finding Crafty Carpet Rug Pads

October 14th, 2010

One reason for the Rug Pads Protect Area Rugs decay is because when there is no rug pad, the bottom of the rug rubs against the hard flooring beneath it. Obviously this is like carpet rug pads. As you can imagine, a rug is not simply laid on top of the concrete or wood that is already in place. A rug pad can serve the same purpose for your rug.

Rug pads provide extra cushioning. If you don’t have anything underneath your rug, this dirt will just sit there and grind away at the bottom of your rug as it is walked on. But has little, or nothing, to do with rug pads usually. To avoid this, make sure that the proper rug pad is used.

Rug pads protect the carpet underneath. A rug pad helps your rug “stick” to the floor, keeping it in place, and making it safer for everyone. This is similar to Oriental rug pads frequently. In addition to the durability that a rug pad will add, you should also consider that it will make the job look better as well.

Rug pads aid in the prevention of bacteria, odor, mildew and mold build up. I hope you are now convinced that a rug pad is a good idea. As you can imagine, when you are walking on a rug with a pad underneath it will be much more comfortable.

Rug pads reduce the number of falls and slips. And one final tip, when laying your rug pad down, make sure you read the instructions to ensure you are putting the right side down - some pads have different textures on the bottom to help it grip better to the floor. It is better to be safe than sorry. Rug pads come in all shapes and sizes and most can be sized with a pair of household scissors.

Have You Ever Thought About Amazing Rug Pads

August 24th, 2010

Overtime, even the most durable rugs show signs of aging. Obviously this is like rug pads. Of course, if the rug pad is left out, or a low quality option is used, you are going to notice this as well; just not in the same way. But, ask yourself this, if you purchased a new car, would you skip the oil changes? Of course not, as everyone knows, changing your oil prolongs the life of your engine and helps you get the most out of your car.

After all, most people purchase area rugs so they don’t have to walk on the hard floor. If you have a closed cell pad, the dirt is held and cushioned - it’s not constantly ground against the hard floor. But has little, or nothing, to do with carpet pads usually. In fact, the only way that you could do this would be by lifting the entire rug; a process that you probably do not want to get involved with.

Rug pads protect the carpet underneath. What about safety? Have you ever walked on a rug - especially on a runner - and have it slip underneath you? Have you ever tripped on a curled up edge of a rug walking into a room? In these days of ready law-suits, the last thing you want is a hazard waiting to happen - most importantly to keep you and your family safe, but also to prevent unfortunate accidents for guests. This is similar to felt rug pads frequently. With the proper pad you can be rest assured that the rug is going to lay as it should.

Rug pads aid in the prevention of bacteria, odor, mildew and mold build up. While safety and protecting your rug are the most important reasons to invest in a good quality rug pad, there are a number of other reasons. Finally, a quality pad will also make your rug more comfortable to walk on.

Rug pads reduce slippage. And one final tip, when laying your rug pad down, make sure you read the instructions to ensure you are putting the right side down - some pads have different textures on the bottom to help it grip better to the floor. No matter who is installing your new rugs, make sure that you do your research into the pad that is being used. The benefits of rug pads far exceed the inexpensive price of acquiring them as they are very affordable.

The Newest Addition to the Aquamog Family is the Aquamog CCX-238

May 30th, 2010

The Aquamog was first built in the early 1980’s by Aquatics Unlimited (AU). The McNabb family founded AU in 1975.

Both Tom and Dave McNabb help design the Aquamog brand and line of equipment throughout the 1980s and 1990s while with AU. Tom continued the Aquamog product line into the new century by adding the MarshMog. Tom’s new company Clean Lakes, Inc. located in Martinez, California and Dave’s company DK Environmental in

Lafayette, California have been working together on the Aquamog project for about 10 yrs. and in February ‘09 the Aquamog CCX-238 was introduced into the aquamog family.

The vessel know by many as the swamp cutter; swamp rig; cookie cutter; tule cutter; various other names was in “no name land” so to speak. It did not fit the mold of conventional aquamogs as being a multi-purpose aquatic maintenance vessel. But is has now worked its way into the aqua-mog group of machines.

With 10 years of testing and rigorous evaluation Tom and Dave thought that the machine with out a name had finally proven itself as a true Aquamog. The Aquamog CCX-238 had meet all the critical challenges to become an Aquamog. The Aquamog CCX-238 has now completed all the tests and is ready to stand side by side with the rest of the Aquamogs.

What makes the Aquamog CCX special is its ability to get into areas that cannot be accessed by the MarshMog or the Aquaomg PRX-163 and Aquamog SRX-109. As Well it has been found that the Aquamog CCX system of removing aquatic emergent vegetation such as cattails and bulrush can be performed in a fraction of the time and more efficiently than with the other aquamogs. This equates to a less more spent by clients and users of the machines.

As with the other Aquamogs the McNabb’s have a unique way of naming the aquamogs after their best attributes. The Aquamog CCX-238 is no different. The Aquamog CCX-238 is named the 238 horse-power Detroit engine that it has humming under the back hood. The CCX stands for “Cookie Cutter eXtraordinaire”. The “Cookie Cutter” part of the name was picked due to its ability to create channels through any type of aquatic emergent weed with easy, just like a cookie cutter through dough.

The following is a list of some of the other aquamog names and how they where derived.

Aquaomg PRX-163 - 163 Horse Power and PRX stands for “Power Rig eXtraordinaire”

Aquamog SRX-109 - 109 Horse Power and SRX stands for “Small Rig eXtraordinaire”

HarborMog HRX-109 109 HP and HRX means for “Harbor Rig eXtraordinaire”

Aquamog WRX-225 225 HP and WRX stands for “Walking Rig eXtraordinaire”

Thus it is only fitting to give the Aquamog CCX-238 is proper name. All of the aqua-mogs that where manufactured by the McNabb’s will be featured over the next few months in a series at www.aquamogs.com. Please check those sites for additional info on the other Aquamogs and projects that they have done all around.
