Which Underlay Should I Choose?

This is a brief and succinct recommendation of which underlay to use for all types of room in the domestic household. These recommendations are based on a quality "fluffy" carpet being fitted by a qualified carpet fitter. This is NOT taking into account underfloor heating. That's another blog! I have put three options fineach area.

Hall and Landing: Heavy traffic area so you need more hardworking underlay, comfort is less of a priority as you are unlikely to be motionless on the carpet.

• Good: Super 10mm , domestic PU underlay
• Better: Richstep 9mm, high density, quality PU underlay
• Best: Plushwalk 12mm, super thick memory type foam underlay for gorgeous soft feeling underfoot.

Stairs: Ideally not too thick but very dense for continuous foot traffic pounding. Need to spend a little more on the Stairs, usually 13 steps, so no more than one roll required

• Good: Powerstep 9mm, VERY dense heavy duty PU underlay
• Better: Treadmore 8mm, heavy weight CRUMB rubber underlay
• Best: Plushwalk 10mm , luxury memory type foam underlay

Lounge: Here is where you want luxury so dense and thick is ideal, not too thick as this will cause the carpet to come off the gripper and may incur extra cost to get the doors trimmed!

• Good: Super 10mm, domestic PU underlay
• Better: Deepstep 11mm, high density quality underlay
• Best: Plushwalk 12mm, super thick memory type foam underlay for gorgeous soft feeling underfoot.

Bedroom: Luxury because of no footwear, warm and acoustically efficient.

• Good: Super 10mm, domestic PU unde
• Better: Richstep 9mm, high density quality underlay
• Best: Plushwalk 12mm, super luxury memory type foam underlay for gorgeous soft feeling underfoot.
