Considerations in Choosing the Right Carpet Underlay
When choosing a carpet, the last thing on anyone’s mind is what should go underneath it, however this is one of the most important decisions you can make. New carpets are a significant investment so it’s vital you choose a quality carpet underlay to support it and deliver the comfort you want.
What is an Underlay?
Underlay generally refers to a thin layer of cushioning made of materials such as sponge rubber, foam, felt or crumb rubber; this material is placed beneath carpeting to provide comfort underfoot, reduce wear on the carpet and to provide insulation against sound, heat and moisture.
