  1. Which is the best shockpad underlay for artificial grass? It’s just as important to install underlay with artificial grass, as it is with carpet.

The question is: which should you buy? Shockpad underlay is typically recommended. This works particularly well in conjunction with the turf and ticks all the right boxes for an outdoor project. Here we explore this type of underlay in detail and ...

  3. Does underfloor heating work with carpet? More and more people are now wishing to improve their home with underfloor heating (UFH). And as carpet is just as popular as ever, it begs the question – can the two things be laid together? It’s something we get asked all the time, here at the Carpet Underlay Shop. Carpet is soft, sumptuous and adds a layer of insulation – and, as a result, many people assume these features will prevent the transfer of heat. But rest assured, this isn’t the case. It is perfectly possible to install underflo...

  5. How to stop laminate floor from creaking It’s the third plank of laminate, about a metre from the right-hand wall. Exactly where your foot lands every time you walk through the room.

We get it, creaky laminate flooring can be incredibly frustrating. You’ve spent a lot of time and effort (and money!) to ensure your new flooring looks and feels as good as possible. But – whilst creaking isn’t usual...

  8. Laminate underlay – an easy solution for bouncy laminate It’s normal for laminate flooring to feel a little bouncy, especially when it’s first fitted. In fact, a small amount of deflection can actually be a good thing – enhancing underfoot comfort and helping to absorb the impact of your steps.

Bouncy laminate flooring usually occurs due to a gap between the planks and subfloor. When you step on...
  9. How to remove carpet Planning to ask your carpet fitter to remove the old stuff? That’ll cost you extra.

  11. What is the ‘ideal’ laminate underlay? Laminate underlay. Don’t underestimate it’s powers. By adding an extra layer of protection, it significantly enhances the look and feel of your laminate, and is the key to ensuring it lasts as long as possible. Without it, you’re likely to find it wears at a much quicker rate and is much more susceptible to warping. Which is why, it’s crucial to choose the right one. Picking out a high-quality laminate underlay is just as important as selecting a high-quality laminate product (if not more so!...
  12. How to keep the floor warm in winter There’s nothing worse than standing on an ice-cold floor on a winters day. Hard flooring materials – such as wood, laminate and vinyl – are particularly notorious for being chilly underfoot. Even if you put the central heating on, they don’t retain the heat very well. And as a result, it’s your toes (and bank balance!) that pay the price. Don’t fancy the hefty heating bill? Fortunately, there are several affordable ways to ‘warm up’ your flooring – without cranking up the thermostat. The key ...
  13. Is artificial grass an eco-friendly choice? Plastic grass. We agree, it doesn’t sound very eco-friendly.

  16. Which is the best flooring for a bathroom? Shut your eyes and picture your bathroom with a plush, loop-pile carpet. Did the thought send a shudder down your spine? Yep, us too. Bathroom carpeting is a 70s trend that (mercifully) you don’t see a lot of these days. Underfoot sogginess. Mould. Visible stains. Invisible bacteria.
