Should I Buy New Underlay?

The Carpet Foundation recommend that new underlay is bought with all new carpets. The reasons for this are:

- Underlay is vital for new carpets to sit properly and wear evenly.

- It improves the feel of carpets underfoot and helps with that 'luxury' feel.

- It increases heat and sound insulation properties of carpets and can reduce energy costs.

- It reduces pile compression in carpets and so enables the carpets to retain their appearance for longer.

- Noise insulation. Acoustics are considerably improved with carpets and underlay while impact noise is reduced.

- New underlay can increase the life of your carpets by forty per cent.

Remember that just as carpets may wear more in certain areas, so does the underlay. You wouldn’t buy a new car with old tyres! What is more, manufacturers may not accept a complaint if old underlay has been used or worse still, no underlay has been used at all.

Remember to buy new underlay with your new carpets!
