A carpet underlayment is simply padding that can be purchased in a variety of thicknesses, that adds comfort, functionality, and protection to your new flooring. Some homeowners think that if their carpet is thick and lush enough, they can skip the padding to save on their budget.

We strongly advise against this for many reasons. We'll share some of them with you now so that you see how important this step is.

Carpet padding does more than you think

Of course, one of the most well-known characteristics of carpet padding is to add that lush comfort that so many homeowners know of this floor covering. It makes every step more inviting, especially at the end of a long day, and especially in private spaces such as bedrooms and studies.

But this padding does so much more. For instance, it can help to assure your flooring does not wear our prematurely. Without a proper underpadding, these materials can often bald or bunch up, and seam separation is not entirely out of the question.

This underlayment can also help assure that your floor covering meets its expected lifespan with ease, even in busy, high-traffic areas. Other underpadding benefits include noise reduction and heat retention, to create a home that gives you comfort, peace of mind, and even lower energy bills.

Adding an excellent underlayment for your carpet flooring is one of the most critical parts of the installation process. Our installation teams are professionals, with all the training and experience necessary to create a final product you’ll love for years to come.
