It's Worth Installing Protective Flat Rubber, Foam or Felt  Carpet Padding

The benefits of carpet padding make it worth the price. Floor coverings are a significant cost factor in interior home decor and although it is not necessary to buy even felt carpet padding, the benefits of any underlayment mean it's worth the price.

Enhance the carpet's performance and protect your investment by selecting underlay rug pads made of natural or synthetic materials - felt, flat rubber and foam are some options. Consider that the manufacturers' warranty may be void if carpeting is installed without some sort of padding.

Busy hallways and stairs put a lot of stress on carpets and floors. The correct density and weight of cushion material used in carpet paddings helps absorb some of the impact by providing a thicker, more comfortable surface.

Professional carpet installers and carpet retailers are able to advise consumers on the best type of products for the style of carpet being purchased, whether tile, wall to wall or smaller area rugs. Urethane and bonded, recycled foam are options. Jute fiber and either slab, waffle or sponge rubber are available as well.

Thick, dense padded cushioning lasts the longest and provides both sound and thermal insulation. Choose carpet padding with fire retardant properties and one that allows air circulation to reduce mildew and odors. The most durable commercial grade material used by contractors is glued with a pressure sensitive double bond adhesive for heavy traffic areas.
