 Finding
the right carpet underlayments for sound proofing
and insulation
What can a carpet underlay
provide for you and your house?
Carpet Underlayments often referred
to as carpet underlay, pads or cushions provide a
base upon which your carpet rests. The nature of this
base will affect all aspects of your carpet from wear
and tear, comfort, heat insulation to sound proofing
qualities.
There are three main carpet underlays,
fibre, sponge and foam.
In most cases the thicker the
carpet underlay the greater the sound proofing and
heat insulation qualities it will have.
Thickness will provide more comfort,
softer feel, create less wear on the surface of the
carpet, provide heat insulation and sound proofing
properties.
Each underlay is gauged and measured
by the type and grade of underlay it is. The depth
of padding and the weight in ounces of the carpet
underlay is the way to determine poor quality underlayment
from high quality. The thicker the carpet underlay
the greater it will be in weight per square yard.

Sound proofing carpet
underlayments
Obtaining a deep quality underlay
will provide impact absorbing properties to the carpet
and to your room. The greater the foot fall the more
dense, resilient and strong the underlay needs to
be.
When seeking out a type of underlay
it is of great importance to know whether the underlay
is suited to a particular floor.
Floors are made up from various
materials, wood, concrete and asphalt. It is important
to consider the effect the floor will have on the
underside of the underlay. If you are unclear speak
with a member of staff. If you have done a little
research you will know whether the staff member really
knows what he is talking about. Alternatively discuss
this with any carpet underlay manufacturer. They make
and they will most definitely know the positive and
negative properties of their underlay.

Heat Insulation carpet
underlayments
Helping to combat loss of heat
through the floor requires an underlay with relevant
thickness and density when taking into account all
other room factors.
Purchasing a highly effective
heat insulating underlay can also have a negative
effect where the room conditions require access to
the floor. An example of this is where a room had
installed under floor heating. It would seem obvious
that an underlay which prevented heat loss would also
prevent heat ventilating through the carpet into a
room.
There are occasions were additional
material may be needed to help with heat insulation
and sound proofing. Discussing your needs with a carpet
underlay manufacturer will help you decide upon the
best protection for your carpets.
What will happen if I
choose the wrong underlay?
Simply you risk lessening the
life of your carpet through wear and tear as it will
react detrimentally to usage upon it. It may be uncomfortable
to interact with whether laying down or walking on.
Noise from rooms above may be disruptive or inconvenient
and loss/prevention of heat inwards and outwards could
have an impact on heating, comfort and living costs.
