Dalton, Ga. —

Oriental Weavers USA Inc. — parent of Oriental Weavers of America and Sphinx by Oriental Weavers — is expanding its area rug padding lines to include organic and outdoor options.

The Green Pad features an organic polymer composition that offers non-slip protection as well as eco-friendly attributes. True to its name, the pad is green in appearance. The company claims it is more durable than many other natural rug pads on the market, and is therefore offering Oriental Weavers' 10-year wear warranty on the product.

The Outdoor Rug Pad is designed to lift area rugs off outdoor floors to allow moisture to escape and evaporate quickly, protecting both the area rug and the surface underneath.
