It is used to be said that a good carpet underlay extends the life of a carpet. In these days of contractual obligation, it would be extremely unwise for anyone to make such a a sweeping claim, however it is certain that a poor underlay detracts measurably from the life of a carpet.
Investing in a higher quality carpet underlay is the most cost effective way of upgrading a carpet installation. It is usually better to spend an additional RM10.00(USD3.00) per meter square on a good underlay that provides greater support for the carpet and thus greater wearability. It will also give greater feeling to your underfoot which the clients feels the comfort and quality derive from the carpet. An inexpensive carpet with high quality underlay may feel better than a higher quality carpet with cheap underlay.
Therefore, with a good quality underlay, matching a good quality carpet will provide an excellent combination to achieve higher standard in comfort for the carpet industry. |
