How important is Underlay?
The manufacturers of underlay produce a range of qualities, all of which will be adequate under your new carpet. At Carpet Court we sell both the Bridgestone and Dunlop range of underlays, both very well respected brands. Choose your carpet and ask to step on it with the different underlays under it. Each will give you a different feel and you can then choose the one you prefer the feel of. The higher the quality of rubber or foam underlay the more luxurious it will feel to your feet, the more support it will give your new carpet and the quieter it will make your home, especially in second floor installations and on staircases. Whether you choose a rubber or foam underlay of similar quality and price, you will be equally happy with either. It is recommended that you change your underlay when you replace your carpet. Underlay wears as the carpet wears, leaving it with the wear patterns of the old carpet. It is important to note that a manufacturer may void a carpets warranty if laid on
