Product Description
What Is Underlay?
Underlay is a layer that goes between your flooring and the concrete. It forms a base for whichever flooring you choose to have in your home. Just because you cannot see something doesn't mean it is not vitally important to how something feels and wears.
Good quality carpet underlay can add up to 30% to the lifespan of your flooring. It also helps with the wearing and maintenance. There are also a couple of added benefits of having the right underlay in your home.
It adds depth and comfort to the cushioning of your floors
It helps as a shock absorber and with protecting your flooring
It helps with soundproofing and acts as a barrier against noise
It can help with insulation which may help you save a bit of money at the end of each month
It is not only for carpeting; it is used under luxury vinyl, laminate, and even wooden flooring
It is important to get new carpet underlay as well if you are getting new flooring. The reason for this is that the underlay wears with the flooring, and old underlay can cause your new flooring to wear unevenly or quicker than it should.

FAQ
Should I buy the cheapest underlay?
Not necessarily. Each type of carpet underlay has various properties that suit different environments and needs. You should consider the room you are installing the carpet in, the floor you are laying the underlay onto, and the type of carpet on top before considering the price. Most carpet underlay is affordable, so the price is unlikely to inform your decision.
Does carpet underlay thickness matter?
Underlay thickness affects the feel of the carpet. A thick underlay, between 11 and 12mm, will give your carpet a cushioned, soft feel. However, a thinner underlay on the stairs may be easier to install. 9mm is ideal.
Should carpet and underlay be fitted by a professional?
A professional carpet fitter improves the results of your carpet installation. Their expertise will help your carpet and underlay last longer, and they can tackle tricky areas, such as the stairs.
Should I replace the carpet underlay when I install a new carpet?
Yes, you should replace your carpet underlay when fitting a new carpet. If you don't, the old underlay will already be worn and make your new carpet feel flat and uncomfortable.
