simple Q - IKEA floor protector - which side faces down?

One side seems to be flatter/smoother, but also a bit stickier - though no residue is left on your fingers after touching it...
the flip side has a slight texture to it, like frosted glass almost.
the label would be readable when the flat/grippy side is facing up... but then maybe the label is meant to be read only when you peek at the non-used side (like with a chair or table)
it's plastic, clear, and has no other distinguishing features
i originally thought the grippier side down, but now im wondering because it is flatter (better for rolling?), and the other side has texture - (meant for gripping the floor?) maybe it should be turned?
gah
and for the record yes it does matter - I'm one of those people who knows which side of a sheet should face down on a bed, which way a shower curtain should face, and a roll of tp should be oriented on the dispenser

And my chair rolls just fine with the textured side up

Its not meant to go on a carpet, is it?
and the texture on the other side is decoration and also because walking on extremely smooth surfaces is weird
There's a sticker on the thing that describes which way is up, I haven't removed my sticker so I'm looking at it right now =)
thanks guys - solved.
just was one of those questions where you had to ask other people
