New Year, New Floors: Why you should opt for new flooring in 2025

The new year is the perfect opportunity to revive some aspects of your home - so why not start with your flooring?
Read on as we break down why you should consider new flooring for 2025 and how a flooring underlay can provide you with even more benefits.
4 reasons to invest in new flooring
A healthy start to the year
The new year is the perfect opportunity to take ownership of your health, with many making new year resolutions to get fit, eat well and prioritise their mental well-being.
But why stop there?
Switching up your flooring can massively improve the air quality of your space. Allergens, pollutants and bacteria can get trapped in your carpets which can massively impact your health, especially when you spend so much time in your home.
For those with allergies, laminate flooring may be worth considering for its easy-to-clean properties.
Transform the look of your space
A new carpet or flooring type can completely reinvent the look of your room or home, without conducting a costly house renovation. Opt for a new colour or texture, or make the switch from laminate to carpet (or vice versa).
Switching up your flooring can make your home feel like new again, especially if your flooring has been the victim of pesky stains and marks.
It can also give the space a cosier, more luxurious feel, especially if you opt for a foam underlay like Plushwalk. This incorporates memory foam technology, making it softer underfoot with excellent cushioning to bounce back from the impact of your furniture or footsteps.
Insulate your home
We may nearly be on the other side of winter, but the cold nights can still pop up from time to time.
Choosing to change your carpet can have lasting effects for years, and winters, to come. A good carpet can trap the heat from a room, keeping it warmer for longer.
Using a carpet as a means of insulation will also save you money, as it reduces the need to have the heating on higher settings or for longer periods.
Opting for a wool carpet underlay is also a sustainable way to prevent further heat from escaping - retaining warmth in your home, while keeping your energy bills to a minimum and prolonging the life of your carpet, even with heavy foot traffic.
Boost your chances of selling
As a new carpet or flooring can completely transform a room, this can go in your favour if you’re looking to sell your home in the near future.
Changing up your flooring to amend any wear and tear or to a more contemporary style can completely elevate your home and enhance the images of your property when it goes for sale, drawing in more potential buyers.
Whether you’re considering carpet, wood, or laminate flooring, a high-quality underlay is essential for the best result.
New underlays can improve sound reduction, thermal insulation (maximising your underfloor heating), comfort, floor levelling, and flooring longevity, even with thinner carpets.
Royale Professional underlays are a great choice for wood or laminate flooring renovations, as they can level out floor imperfections and improve the sound insulation of a room, helping to increase the value of your home.
