Underlay may not be the most visible part of your floor, but it plays a huge role in how your flooring feels and performs. Especially in residential homes, insulation and soundproofing can be important factors to the residents.
For carpets, underlay adds softness and insulation while helping reduce wear and tear. It acts as a cushion beneath the carpet, extending its life by absorbing impact and reducing stress on the fibres.
In laminate and vinyl flooring, underlay helps smooth out minor imperfections in the subfloor, reduces noise, and adds a touch of warmth underfoot. Some underlays also include moisture barriers, perfect for ground-floor or kitchen installations.
Choosing the right underlay depends on your flooring type, the room’s use, and your comfort needs. It’s a small investment that delivers big benefits in performance, comfort, and longevity.
