For example, one of our most popular products – the Plushwalk 12mm Carpet Underlay – comes in half rolls containing 7.5m 2 and full rolls containing 15.07m 2 of underlay. To work out how many you need, divide the total surface area of your room (e.g. 100m 2) by 15.07 and round up to the nearest half or full roll. Besides bringing peace to your home, it boasts plenty of other handy features. It’s antimicrobial and mildew-resistant, masks an uneven sub-floor, and can be completely recycled at the end of its life. The roll is quite weighty at 38.3kg, so if you’re installing it upstairs or in a loft, you might need a second pair of hands to get it in place.

To account for any errors during the installation process, we always recommend adding 10% to these measurements. Unfortunately, this can’t be done using our online flooring calculator. But it’s pretty easy to work out yourself. Simply multiply each of the measurements above by 1.10 to get the desired total. Yes, absolutely. Even if you have no previous experience in this area, most new carpet underlays are relatively easy to fit – especially if you use the right tools and guidance. If you’re ready to invest in underlay for your new flooring, take the first step today, and use our carpet measurement calculator to work out how much you need. How long does carpet underlay last? For square or rectangular rooms, simply multiply the width by the height. For example, a room that is 5m x 2m will need 10m² of underlay.

However, as with carpet, a suitable underlay is a must if you want to help your floor last longer, and look and perform better once it’s laid. Without it, there’s more pressure on the joins between the laminate planks, and more chance of moisture from the sub-floor reaching the planks and causing damage. It will usually be noisier when you walk on it, too. Installing laminate flooring in overhead rooms can mean that the noise of footsteps and more travels into the spaces below. So, if you’re thinking of adding it to bedrooms – especially kids’ bedrooms – you’ll need to add a good sound-proofing underlay. Made from high-density sponge rubber with a built-in vapour barrier, Duralay’s Timbermate Excel underlay is ideal. It will reduce sound by up to 23dB – or around 30% – so little ones can thunder around as much as they please. Rooms prone to cold or rising damp need a laminate underlay that’s up to the job. Thermolevel is one such underlay. It’s made with an integrated vapour barrier so there’s no need for extra damp proofing; once the seams are sealed, your new laminate flooring will be perfectly protected. Plus, as Thermolevel preserves heat, it will keep the space toasty warm, too. The key to a successful ‘ gold underlay’ installation is to make sure the gold foil is facing the right way. The gold side needs to face the subfloor, as any moisture rising from the subfloor won't enter the underlay OR your flooring. So to reiterate, to create an effective moisture barrier and stop damp from getting into the polyethene (PE) foam, it must be laid gold-side down.

For example, to ensure the installation runs smoothly, it’s important to make sure you have enough carpet underlay for the job. This can be achieved by carefully measuring the room and using the accurate flooring calculator above to work out the total surface area. It’s a question we get asked time and time again, here at the Carpet Underlay Shop. Rooms come in all different shapes and sizes and, to make sure that it fits easily into the desired area, it’s important to get your carpet measurements right.Royale Sonic Gold 5mm Comfort Underlay for Laminate or Wood Flooring 15m2: The best good-value laminate underlay
