Benefits of Underlay

We recommend that new underlay is bought with every new carpet for a multitude of reasons, including the following

It prolongs carpet life

Placing an underlay beneath your carpet will keep it looking plumper and feeling more luxurious for longer, by avoiding a worn and trampled look in 'heavy traffic' areas. An underlay forms a layer of protection between your carpet and the floor below it, meaning therefore that the carpet can spring back to its full height with ease after being walked upon and each individual fibre is not damaged permanently by this impact.

Added insulation

Installing underlay beneath your carpet adds an extra layer that absorbs cold and sound. This added insulation will keep your home warmer and in turn, save you money on heating bills. The sound minimising elements of a carpet underlay means that the sound of footsteps and voices will be dramatically reduced - keeping your neighbours happy!

Extra comfort

By replacing your existing underlay at the same time buying a new carpet you will add extra comfort to your new floor. The underlay will act as a sponge beneath your carpet, therefore adding an extra bounce and comfort to each and every step you take.
