Action backing is a type of rug and carpet backing that is made of woven synthetic fibers.  The backing improves sound dampening, improves durability and prolongs the life of the rug.  The backing provides stability and structure to the rug weave.  We offer action backing on both indoor and outdoor rugs.  Action backing on a rug does not provide a non-slip surface.  A rug pad is recommended for use under action backed rugs.
