Underlay Questions Answered
How thick should carpet underlay be?
For most domestic carpets, 10mm or 12mm PU foam underlay is recommended. Thicker underlay adds more comfort but may not suit all carpet types.
Do I need underlay for laminate flooring?
Yes. Laminate underlay provides a moisture barrier, reduces noise, and gives a more comfortable feel underfoot. Some laminate products come with underlay pre-attached.
Do I need underlay for LVT or vinyl flooring?
Most LVT and vinyl flooring does not require underlay — and some manufacturers advise against it. We'll advise on the right approach for your specific product.
Can I use carpet underlay under laminate?
No. Carpet underlay is too soft and compressible for laminate flooring. Use a specialist laminate underlay with a moisture barrier instead.
What underlay works with underfloor heating?
You need a low-tog underlay (typically under 1.5 tog) that allows heat to pass through. We supply and fit underfloor heating compatible underlay for carpets and laminate.
