Underlay 

Here is some advantages to using underlay: 

 

Without it you may find that your floors would be flat and hard and vulnerable to wear and tear. A good underlay will increase the life of your carpet. 

 

Underlay is also a form of insulation and can help keep you warm during the colder months. Not only do carpet underlays hold in warmth, but they can absorb sound too. 

 

The better your carpet underlay is, the cleaner your carpet will be. This is because the underlay lifts the carpet up and prevents dirt from embedding too deeply into it. As well, carpet underlay essentially helps the carpet “breathe,” allowing for more effective vacuuming. 

 

Underlay improves the look of your carpet. Without an underlay, carpet will start to age very fast and get matted down and almost sink into the floor. With an underlay, this is not the case – carpet will look newer for a longer period of time and be able to maintain its original form due to cushioning.
