WHAT IS CARPET UNDERLAY?

Carpet Underlay {car•pet un•der•lay}

Noun: something placed under carpet, to support, protect or raise it
Noun: material placed under carpet flooring to create comfort, durability and insulation
Carpet Underlay (or carpet underlayment) refers to a layer of cushioning material –typically about 6-11mm - made from sponge rubber, foam, felt or crumb rubber that is laid beneath carpet flooring to provide underfoot comfort, to protect the carpet, to make the carpet last longer and to provide insulation of sound, heat and noise. In general, carpet underlay is the layer that sits between your carpet and the floor, thus carpet underlay.
There are many types of carpet underlay to choose from - including foam underlay and rubber underlay – and at AllAboutUnderlay.co.uk we stock the best brands at the lowest prices – and make it simple to find the right underlay for you and your carpet. It is very easy to overlook the importance and benefits that carpet underlay has – and just like you wound not buy a new car with old tyres, it is advised that you do not lay new carpet with old underlay. It may even invalidate any complaint that you may have with the carpet manufacturer if old or no carpet underlay at all has been used with your carpet installation.

Why buy new Carpet Underlay ?

Statements such as “Underlay doesn’t make a difference”, “I already have underlay for my carpet”, “My carpet has built in underlay”, "Carpet underlay costs too much” are all readily said when buying a new carpet – but the reality is very different:

• New underlay adds luxury and superior comfort underfoot to your carpet.
• New underlay reduces wear and tear on your new carpet by working like car shock absorbers.
• New underlay reduces noise and aids sound proofing.
• New underlay makes your carpet look better for longer.
• New underlay lowers energy costs by reducing drafts and keeping more of the warmth in the room.
• New carpet may have a thin felt backing but this is no substitute for proper underlay.
• New underlay makes your new carpet last longer.

Often old underlay holds on to dust, dirt and mites which seep through a new carpet making it appear dirty. Old carpet underlay also often cracks, crumbles and collapses making your new carpet appear uneven.

Why buy carpet underlay online ?

Carpet underlay is often sold by the large high street carpet retailers as part of a package which includes the carpet, the delivery, the accessories, the fitting and the underlay. However, the carpet underlay is from a limited range and is often highly priced to subsidise the cheap cost of the carpet. Here are AllAboutUnderlay.co.uk we can deliver the right carpet underlay fast to your door at trade prices.

What about Carpet Right ?

Carpetright is one of the largest high street retailers of carpet and carpet underlay – so why wouldn’t you buy their underlay at the same time as buying a carpet from them ? The answer is simple really, the underlay from All About Underlay is the same quality product but at much cheaper prices – often up to 70% cheaper than you can buy in a Carpetright shop. We also have the added benefit that as well as saving you money, we can deliver the underlay direct to your door to save time and transportation.

But how can you trust that you are getting the same quality underlay product ? The answer again is quite simple really – Carpetright stock the same product but rename it so it looks exclusive to them and therefore you will not find the same carpet underlay online – apart from themselves. Some examples are Tredaire Dreamwalk Carpet Underlay is called Royale at Carpetright, Tredaire Softwalk is called Super Realm at Carpetright, Treadaire Cosywalk is called Majesty at Carpetright, Tredaire Brio is called Monarch at Carpetright and Duralay Treadmore is called Elegance at Carpetright – and all are around 70% cheaper at All About Underlay.
The more specialist carpet underlay designed for underfloor heating and soundproofing are not always available on the high street or Carperight – so you may not always get the underlay you need or deserve.
