Why is underlay used under carpet?
When you choose to install carpet in a room or office space, the underlay is an essential detail that makes all the difference. Many people neglect it, but its role is very important for both comfort and the durability of the carpet.
At Softambient, we recommend using quality underlay, available in the following variants:
-
8mm Carpet Underlay – ideal for residential rooms where enhanced comfort is desired.
-
6mm Carpet Underlay – especially recommended for underfloor heating and high-traffic areas, as it allows for good heat circulation.
1. Greater walking comfort
Underlay makes the carpet softer and more pleasant to walk on. It absorbs shocks and provides the sensation of a more luxurious flooring.
2. Thermal insulation
A quality underlay better retains heat in the room, so the floor is no longer cold to the touch. This is an important advantage, especially during the cold season.
