Hi,
I have a room I use for a computer den. It has a wooden suspended floor, an old carpet with no underlay, and it faces north. It's pretty cold.
There must, I imagine, be carpet underlays with a good thermal rating? Some advice on this would be appreciated. If the answer is yes, then the underlay plus a new thick carpet should make quite a difference.
However, I found that when I rolled my computer chair forwards and backwards on the existing carpet it rucked up. A sheet of mdf under the chair wheels has fixed this - though it doesn't look too good.and I would prefer to get rid of it if I can.
As it happens we have a very dense carpet tile in the hall (solid floor) and when I rolled my computer chair about on that, they didn't ruck up. I know from reading this forum that if I used carpet tiles I'd need to lay hardboard down first. So my second question is "how much less warm would this combination be than underlay and carpet?".
Sorry to go on: I'm trying to be clear.
