UNDERLAYS

A good quality carpet deserves a good quality underlay, which will help prolong the life of the carpet significantly.

A new underlay will do many things, including:

• help the carpet to retain its luxury, its underfoot comfort and its depth of feel.
• help a carpet retain its good looks and appearance by up to 50% longer.
• help to protect a carpet against undue wear, stop yarns from fraying, will resist pressure marks from furniture and prevent loss of carpet height.
• help to make vacuuming more efficient, improve under carpet circulation and reduce unsightly and unhygienic dirt penetration.
• help to prevent rucking, soften the sound of footsteps and suppress noise transference to rooms below.
• prevent chilly draughts, provide better insulation and reduce heating bills.

All in all it is generally advisable to renew the carpet and underlay together.
