Flooring Underlay

Flooring Underlay - Cut to size!

While not always visible, flooring underlay plays a critical role in:

  • Enhancing comfort and usability
  • Protecting the structural integrity of your flooring
  • Reducing long-term maintenance costs

Selecting the right underlay depends on your specific flooring type, the conditions of your subfloor, and the purpose of the space.

We stock a range of branded foam (8mm, 10mm and 11mm options for a cushioned underfoot feel), rubber (premium underlays available for extra durability), wood and laminate underlays, as well as underlays that can be used with underfloor heating.

Each type of underlay is sold by the square metre to create an affordable option that saves you money.

Not sure which underlay you should choose? No problem! Our team are experts at everything flooring, so head down to your local store to see our stock and speak to a member of our team.

Door Bar

Door Bars

A flooring isn’t complete without a door bar that helps bridge the transition from one room to another at the threshold.

Also known as threshold strips, these small accessories are the finishing touch to your flooring.

Door bars aren't a one-size-fits-all solution, meaning you have a variety of sizes and profiles to pick from. We stock a range of sizes and profiles so you can find the perfect one to fit your home's interior decor and new flooring.

Most of our door bars are available in aluminium (silver look) or anodised (brass look) finish but we do also have samples of coloured bars we can order in quickly.

We also have a selection of non-started bars available, so just ask if you need something specific because we will likely be able to source it!

Carpet Grippers

Gripper Rods

Gripper rods, or carpet grippers, secure the edges of the carpet in wall-to-wall carpet installations. They keep the material stretched, taut, and securely in place.

In our stores, we stock dual grippers that are suitable for concrete and wooden floors. We sell them in single 1.52 metre (5 foot) lengths.

Buy your gripper rods today at your local store.

Carpet Tape

Adhesives

Adhesives are important for laying flooring as they are specialised bonding agents used to secure your flooring materials to the subfloor. They help ensure the flooring remains stable, durable, and securely fixed in place so that it can withstand foot traffic.

In our stores, we stock carpet and vinyl spray can adhesives that you can use when fitting either type of flooring yourself.

We also stock double-sided tape in a range of convenient DIY sizes to help you.

Head down to your local store to buy the best solution for your flooring choice.

Karndean Floor Care Kit

Karndean Accessories

As Karndean is a specific flooring brand, it has its own range of accessories.

We hold stock of adhesive tubs, cleaning kits and individual cleaning bottles for this flooring type in all our stores. So, if you have chosen Karndean flooring, you won’t need to go elsewhere for the accessories you need.

Cybergold Rug Control Spray

Rug Control

There is nothing more frustrating than a rug that keeps moving or sliding around on your floor.

Luckily, there is a solution to prevent this!

At Carpet Barn, we stock Cybergold Rug Control spray. This is a super-strength spray that will stop your rugs and mats from moving, slipping and sliding on any surface.

It will work on:

  • Wood
  • Laminate
  • Vinyl
  • Stone
  • Ceramic and porcelain tiles
  • Fitted carpets

Using it couldn't be easier. All you need to do is:

  1. Spray the back of the rug.
  2. Let it dry overnight.
  3. Lay the rug in its place.

When spraying the rug, you will need to make sure that you don’t spray on anything but the rug backing.

Don’t worry. It doesn’t stick your rug to the floor, and you will easily be able to lift it and re-lay it without having to re-spray.

Stop by your local Carpet Barn Store to pick up a bottle for just £14!
