Dear fellow listers,
I work at an 1891 historic house (As I have said previously) and the large
rugs in the house all extend into the visitor walkways. Someone in the past
(before I came to work there) put down plastic covers that have little
cleats on the bottom to protect the rugs from wear and tear. These cleats
are damaging our wood floors and probably our rugs, too. So I have been
asked to research alternate means to cover the rugs and protect them from
the wear and tear of visitor traffic.I understand that it is best to keep
rugs where they cannot be walked on, but that may not be an option.
I have looked at the list archives and several conservation websites, but
didn't find much. So I am asking for your help, observations, experiences,
etc. Thanks in advance for your help!
Sincerely,
Chris Godbold
Assistant Curator
