PU foam underlays are made up of polyurethane foam. This provides a cushioned layer between the carpet and the floor, providing heat insulation, soundproofing and underfoot comfort. Often, this type of carpet underlay is made from recycled fibres, meaning it’s an environmentally friendly option, often used as one of many rubber alternatives.
Our PU foam carpet underlay helps your new carpet not only live out its entire lifespan but also do so whilst looking new. This is because the foam underlay is responsible for taking the brunt of the pressure, sparing your carpet from being crushed between footfalls and the flooring beneath.
PowerWalk is not the most compatible underlay for an underfloor heating device. It isn’t the most thick PU foam underlay, but it has a high TOG rating, with silver having 2.3 and gold having 2.92. This means that it has very high heat insulation, better for keeping heat inside the room than allowing heat to pass through it. For this reason, it’s best to look for a carpet underlay that boasts a lower TOG rating.
The rooms that PowerWalk works best in are rooms that have high levels of foot traffic, so that it can serve its intended purpose of withstanding heavier impact.
The rooms in question are:
- Living Room – The best flooring for a living room tends to be a carpet, as it’s a flooring material with arguably the most comfort. Guests will often come to this room, and use the sofas/chairs to relax, which press into the flooring. PowerWalk will help protect the carpet from indentations and other damage.
- Stairs – Not necessarily a room, but for carpeted stairs, a PowerWalk works fantastically. This is because when climbing stairs, you place more pressure on the flooring than you would on other floors, as your weight is also being lifted onto the step. PowerWalk makes the carpet above more robust and helps it withstand the extra demands for longer.
- Hallways – Our PU foam carpet underlay is great for hallways, which see a lot of foot traffic as people use them to navigate between rooms.
