What Makes Dura Undercushions a Sustainable Choice?
One of the primary goals of our company is to reduce our environmental impact. We achieve this by using recycled tires as the primary material for our underlayments, contributing to the circular economy and keeping waste out of landfills. When our products reach the end of their useful life, they can be recycled once again, making them a highly sustainable choice for modern flooring needs.
Furthermore, Dura Undercushions holds several green certifications, including LEED and Green Label Plus compliance, which ensures that our products meet the highest environmental standards. These credentials allow our products to be used in eco-conscious building projects, further enhancing their appeal to architects and developers looking to meet sustainability goals.
What Are the Benefits of Using Rubber Acoustic Underlayment?
Acoustic performance is another area where Dura Undercushions excels. Our rubber underlayments provide superior soundproofing, making them ideal for residential, commercial, and hospitality spaces where noise reduction is a priority. Thanks to the density and resilience of recycled rubber, our products can absorb impact sound more effectively than other materials, such as foam or cork.
In addition to soundproofing, rubber underlayments offer excellent durability and comfort underfoot, improving the overall flooring experience. Whether you’re installing it under laminate, hardwood, tile, vinyl, or carpet, Dura underlayments enhance the lifespan of the floor by adding a layer of cushioning that reduces wear and tear.
How Does Dura Undercushions Address Moisture Concerns?
Our products are not only sound-absorbing but also moisture-resistant, a crucial factor in certain environments like basements or high-humidity areas. Dura-Son MB™ 3.5 mm, for example, has been specifically designed to handle moisture-prone settings. The product’s inherent properties help prevent mold and mildew growth, protecting your floor system from potential damage. This makes it a highly sought-after solution in regions prone to flooding or areas where moisture control is a concern.
Which Carpet Cushion Do I Need for My Carpet?
Protector™ 5 mm and Duracushion™ 6 mm are perfect for high-traffic areas.
For area rugs, Duralux™ 7 mm is a great option, providing excellent anti-skid properties to keep rugs in place.
Super Dura™ 10 mm, our thickest and most luxurious carpet cushion, is designed for low-traffic areas like bedrooms, delivering maximum comfort and support.
What Are the Current Trends in Flooring Pads?
There has been a noticeable shift in customer preferences towards sustainable, multi-functional products. Today’s consumers want flooring pads that not only meet their needs for soundproofing but also align with their environmental values. As a result, we are seeing increased demand for products made from recycled materials like those from Dura Undercushions. Additionally, as more people become aware of the importance of indoor air quality, we’ve also observed rising interest in low-VOC products, a trend we’re proud to support with our eco-friendly offerings.
What Future Developments Are Coming from Dura Undercushions?
We’re always looking ahead, and right now, we’re focusing on further improving our products' performance. One area of future development is expanding the range of applications for our underlayments. Currently, we’re exploring avenues in high-performance solutions that could be used in commercial sectors like hotels and condominiums, where soundproofing and durability are paramount.
How Does Dura Undercushions Support Its Customers?
Customer-centricity and education are integral parts of our mission at Dura Undercushions, and our dedicated representatives are always available to help with any questions. We understand that selecting the right underlayment can be a complex decision, which is why we offer a range of resources, including our underlayment product selector tool, product brochures, installation tutorials and technical resources.
Can You Dispose of Dura's Flooring Pads?
Yes, disposal practices are another important consideration in the lifecycle of flooring underlayments. This commitment to sustainability ensures that our products contribute to environmental preservation, even after years of use.
