Why use Carpet Underlay?
When installing a new carpet, carpet underlay is a vital component. We have listed below for you the main reasons why this is so to help you with your carpet underlay selection. Sound Insulation The installation of underlay reduces sound not only in the room itself but also the transference of sound to the room below. Heat Insulation By using carpet underlay you are providing an additional layer of insulation, which reduces the heat loss through floorboards and also reduces under floor draughts. Dust Insulation The underlay acts as a barrier by reducing the flow of air, thereby reducing the dust particles carried by the air. Comfort Carpet underlay produces an extra softness to the feel of the floor, regardless of the quality and thickness of the carpet. Appearance The carpet underlay absorbs all the wear and tear keeping your carpet looking better for longer. Carpet Fitting The majority of domestic carpets are fitted using a method whereby the carpet is stretched onto carpet grippers.
