We have been professionally installing carpets Belfast wide, as well as across Newtownabbey and Carrickfergus for over 30 years, so we know all about them and the products that accompany them.
Carpet underlay – what is it?
Underlay is a material that lives underneath the carpet that is being laid. It serves many purposes, such as:
- Comfort under your feet.
- Moisture protection
- Noise reduction
- Shock absorption
- Lower energy bills
- Protects the carpet pile

Quality underlay is important for so many reasons and without it, there is a huge difference in the comfort and durability of your new carpet. Underlay is a natural partner for carpet and together the lifespan of the carpet will be extended. It is well worth it to invest in new, thick and quality underlay.
The Duvets of The Flooring World
Underlay is so important for the reasons outlined above, but we take an extra step in this department. While our competitors offer 6mm underlay options with low tog rating (Yes, underlay is measured in tog, not just your duvet), we offer only the best quality underlay to accompany our carpets Belfast, Newtownabbey and Carrickfergus wide.
The 6mm and 8mm versions of underlay, just aren’t something that we work with, because we know first hand that they are not good value for money and we will not achieve a good result for you, the customer.
We work with a 12mm high density underlay that is 100% made with recycled materials. With all of the benefits and the longevity that you will see with your new carpet, you will never go anywhere else.
Our carpet underlay has been tried and tested and we are sure that you will be happy with your new carpet.

Is it bad to reuse underlay?
We would highly recommend that you don’t reuse your underlay. Fitting new underlay when you get a new carpet increases the longevity as old underlay can harbour smells as well as have dips and dents in it. Your new carpet is best paired with a fresh thick underlay to get the most out of it.
How often should you replace underlay?
We would highly recommend a visual inspection of your underlay to ensure that it is of the right standard to be reused. Our 12mm thick, high density underlay can last up to 20 years, but if you have a thin underlay currently down, replacing it may well be the smartest option.
Old, thin underlay can harbour bad smells as well as have dips and dents in it. Your new carpet is best paired with a fresh, thick underlay to get the most out of it and more bang for your buck.
