With our growing product line, it can be confusing to determine which product should be used for which situation.  

[Our original Rug Gripper**™ **product](https://www.otitech.com/rug-gripper) is designed to hold rugs and mats in place over any floor surface. It is removable and releasable, and ideal for a temporary hold. You can pick up and move your rug or mat, along with the Rug Gripper**™** product anytime you’d like, and it will not harm your rug or the floor underneath.  

 

[Opti-Grip®](https://www.otitech.com/opti-grip), on the other hand, is a double-sided tape that has a very aggressive adhesive. It is used in commercial applications to install carpet, vinyl, cove base, and other flooring accessories. It is not releasable or removable and is considered a permanent installation product.
