Hello.
I am getting my front room carpeted. It is a concrete floor with vinyl tiles laid on it.
The floor is very cold so I want an underlay with good insulation properties.
The carpet I want is a mid-range berber.
I have seen this underlay: Envirolay 42oz 11mm Felt Carpet Underlay
I have read that it is quite a firm underlay with good durability and insulation properties.
I have read that it is often used in commercial settings. I have also read that it may need to be glued down.
Can anyone advise to weather this underlay will be ok to use in my front room? My main concern is that if it needs some kind of special insulation I may struggle to find a fitter.
Also I have noticed gripper rods are only 6mmm thick, if the underlay is 11mm thick will it cause problems?
Is there a better alternative underlay I could use?
Basically I know nothing about carpets so any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks as always
