Foam carpet underlay comes in thicknesses measured in millimetres, with the more luxurious foam carpet underlay being Tredaire Dreamwalk 11mm; foam carpet underlay is much favoured by carpet fitters. Cloud 9 from Duralay and Tredaire’s Dreamwalk are the top of the ranges of the foam carpet underlay. The most popular are 7mm, 9mm, 10mm and 11mm.
This is the type of underlay that many carpet fitters would recommend. It is really easy to lay, fairly light to move as a roll, and is made up of a layer of compacted foam substances. It can be made of recycled materials, making it seem cheap, and this also makes them environmentally friendly. It has some acoustic properties; in fact, acoustic underlay often has this at its core. Full rolls are usually around 15 square metres.
The large manufactures include Tredaire and Duralay. Brio, Softwalk, Zest and Dreamwalk in increasing thickness are Tredaire’s brand names, Nimbus (7mm thick), Cirrus (9mm) are Duralay’s Cloud 9 series.
Most of these types of underlay are guaranteed for the life of the carpet, in fact, if you take your carpet up after years of use the underlay will probably look as good as the day you laid it!
