If you are having any new flooring fully fitted we always recommend using underlay. Not only does this improve the comfort of the product, but it can also increase its life span by more than double.
For natural plant fibre carpets and flooring there is only one type of underlay recommended and this is a rubber crumb double stick system like our RC Eco Underlay. Plant fire flooring needs a strong and heavy underlay to ensure it stays stuck down and does not curl up at the edges; read more on this in our FAQ on fitting and shrinkage.
For non-plant fibre flooring like our Ocean Clear Carpets Range or any other carpet types a variety of underlays are suitable, however, if you’re looking for a non-toxic, completely natural underlay then our AirFlow Underlay can be used with any carpet (except plant fibre flooring).
