Underlay acts as a protective shock absorber, protecting your carpet from heavy footfall, furniture weight, and general wear and tear. This keeps the fibres from flattening and prolongs the carpet's appearance and durability. Underlay with a high tog rating provides significant thermal insulation, trapping heat in the room and preventing it from escaping through the floor, which can help lower energy bills. Underlay also helps to smooth out minor imperfections, lumps, and bumps on the subfloor, creating a stable, even surface for the carpet and ensuring a professional, flawless finish. In addition to its practical benefits, underlay significantly enhances the acoustic properties of a room. It minimizes noise from footsteps, furniture movement, or other activities, making it particularly beneficial in multi-story homes or apartments where sound transfer can be an issue. This soundproofing quality not only creates a quieter, more peaceful environment but also adds to the overall comfort and luxury of your space.
