CARPET UNDERLAY

null
Most domestic carpets are fitted by being stretched onto carpet grippers. If you are installing your carpet using this method it is recommended that you also use carpet underlay. Using the same thickness of underlay that matches the grippers will mean your carpets get laid evenly and beautifully.

As well as enhancing the look of your new carpets, underlay also provides additional comfort, reduced wear & tear, and improved sound and heat insulation.

Having an underlay fitted will also protect the underside of your carpet from rubbing against the hard sub-floor. Also, indentations from furniture will be less severe when the carpet is fitted with a firm underlay. Firmer underlays can also prevent excessive vertical movement and stretching of the carpet and will therefore reduce rucking problems.
