Make Underlay Your Second Priority!
Underlay is the most overlooked aspect of purchasing a new floor. "I've already got underlay" is a common thought or "it doesn't make any difference".... but think again! Old underlay is prone to crumble or collapse especially in high traffic areas which may cause your new carpet to ridge or appear uneven. Old underlay also harbours dust and dirt which can seep through to the surface, ruining the appearance of your beautiful new carpet. There are also many other benefits to installing a new underlay, including sound proofing, insulation and most of all superior comfort.
