Best Quality Carpet Underlay Dubai | For All Flooring

An underlay can increase the comfort level of a carpet but it won’t make it “thicker”, you’ll need a rug pad for that purpose. That’s because the primary function of an underlayment is to protect the carpeting from fraying, dislocation, moisture, and other damages and to make it last long.

An ideal underlay is one that improves the comfort of a carpet, has a high tog rating (for better insulation), and accelerates the process of carpet installation. In terms of underlay thickness, nearly 8 to 12 mm thickness is considered suitable for most carpet and subfloor types.

Yes, underlays absorb most of the sounds and effectively contribute to making interiors peaceful. They tend to minimize up to 3o to 40 dB (decibels) of impact and airborne noises as well as vibrations, meaning adding them will make your homes greatly free of disruptions. 

Carpet tiles do not particularly need an underlayment because they feature integrated backings. However, you can use paddings if you wish to increase the comfort or protection of tiles. Underlays are mostly required for bigger carpets and rugs, essentially those that come in the form of rolls.
