What is Carpet Padding?
Soundproofing has become an essential element of modern living and working spaces. Carpet padding, also known as carpet underlay, is a layer of material placed beneath your carpet. Depending on the material used, this layer serves multiple purposes: it acts as a sound barrier, enhances comfort underfoot, and extends the life of your carpet by providing an additional layer of protection against wear. Dura Undercushions, a leading rubber underlayment manufacturer, offers an innovative line of soundproof carpet underlay that promises to improve the durability, acoustics, and comfort in your commercial and residential spaces.
Why Should I Use a Soundproofing Carpet Underlay?
Impact sound travels through materials in waves, and without proper insulation, your floors can become a conductor for noise, disrupting the peace of your environment. Soundproofing carpet underlays are designed to absorb and dampen impact noise from foot traffic. The right carpet underlay can make a world of difference in minimizing impact sound transmission.
Where Can I Use Carpet Padding and Which One Do I Need?
- Wall-to-wall carpet: For carpeted surfaces with heavy foot traffic in commercial spaces, the best acoustic carpet underlay is Duracushion 6mm. For the ultimate in luxury and comfort in carpets designed for low foot traffic areas like hotel suites, penthouses and home theatres, Super Dura 10mm is the perfect carpet padding. For padding beneath carpet tiles, Duraquiet 3mm provides the perfect density and support to protect your floors.
- Area rugs: If you are interested in protecting your high-end area rugs from heavy foot traffic, Duralux 7mm is the perfect carpet underlay. Duralux contains a jute backing which easily adheres to area rugs, improving traction.
- Stair runners: A stair runner pad, such as the Duralux 7mm is the perfect foundation for stair runners, enhancing both safety and comfort. Its composition ensures that the runner remains securely in place, reducing the risk of slips and falls by providing excellent traction.
