Why choose underlay?
Though frequently overlooked and dismissed as an unnecessary expense, flooring underlay acts as an insulator that can help you to save money on your energy bills whilst providing underfoot comfort and cushioning.
On top of this, it can provide an extra layer against noise – ideal for upstairs rooms or if you live in a flat. And because it performs like a shock absorber, it impacts the longevity of your floors.
There are various types of underlay for use with different flooring and different rooms. For example, carpet underlay helps carpets to bounce back from heavy wear and foot traffic, whereas laminate underlay protects the joints in the wooden planks and reduces the risk of flexing.

Underlay isn’t a one-size-fits-all kind of deal, so the answer to this question depends on a few different factors, including:
• The type of floor you’re placing on top
The type of underlay you need depends on the floor you’ll be placing on top of it.
Let’s say you’ve opted for a thinner carpet on your stairs or in your living room, for example. You might want to choose a slightly thicker underlay to provide a bit of extra cushioning. Thicker carpets are best paired with felt underlays, because they not only provide excellent comfort underfoot, but also prevent your carpet from flattening out as a result of heavy foot traffic.
Maybe you’re installing a wood or laminate floor? If this is the case, you’ll need an underlay specifically designed for these types of flooring to make sure that it’s the right thickness and has all the necessary qualities.
• The type of floor it will sit on
Maybe your floor is being laid on top of a concrete subfloor? Or perhaps in a room with underfloor heating?
Whichever type of subfloor you’re working with, keep it in mind when choosing your underlay.
This will help whittle your options down so you can choose one that provides sufficient insulation, soundproofing, and shock absorbency.
• Where you’re installing it
Each floor in your home serves a different purpose, and therefore has different needs when it comes to underlay.

Again, the answer to this question depends on a few different things.
The cost of carpet underlay is usually worked out per square metre and can cost anywhere between £2-£8.
Of course, some underlays will be more expensive than others – typically, the higher the quality and overall performance, the more expensive it will be.
Then, of course, you need to factor in the cost of delivery, installation, or extra tools if you’re planning on fitting it yourself.

Like most things, a good foundation will lead to better results in the long term.
Of course, it’s your decision, but we always highly recommend installing a high-quality underlay. We strongly believe it’s a step that shouldn’t be skipped or skimped on, especially if you want to make the most of your new flooring.
Not only does installing an underlay improve the look and feel of your new floors, but it also increases comfort, boosts the lifespan of your flooring, and increases energy efficiency in your home.
Why not take a look at our Plushwalk underlays?
We stock both the 10mm and 12mm variations – which provide an unmatched level of comfort and, thanks to their higher foam density, excellent sound proofing abilities.

Several factors affect how long underlay lasts. These include: • Thickness
Usually, thicker options are much better than thinner ones, as they tend to take much longer to flatten down from foot traffic. • Exposure to heat and moisture
High temperatures and humidity can significantly reduce the lifespan of underlay, which is why it’s so important to select the most suitable type of underlay for the room. • Materials
Underlay that’s made from synthetic materials will take longer to degrade than those made from natural materials.
Take our Plushwalk underlays for example.
They feature damp proof membranes which create a moisture lock between your carpet and sub floor, which increases the lifetime of your carpet dramatically.
