Reasons To Avoid Cheap Underlays

There are a number of common issues with cheap underlays that make spending that bit extra more than worth your while. To get complete protection against some of the more common problems with cheap underlay, you’ll need to invest in better options known for their improved performance and luxurious nature. A better option like Pure.

So, what are the problems with cheap underlays?

• Installation difficulties: Cheaper underlays are often less than ideal when it comes to installation. Often it’s dirtier, more complex, and easier to run into problems which make a poor installation obvious every time you walk over the flooring.
• Lack of smoothness: When you fit a cheap underlay, it doesn’t often sit flat like premium options, it will flatten over time and leave indentations in your carpet. If you want a soft underlay with no lumps, then you’ll need to pay that bit more.
• Fewer additional benefits: Cheap underlays often are just designed to protect the flooring above. Very few can protect against moisture, offer enhanced comfort underfoot, better insulating properties, compatibility with underfloor heating, sound reduction, compression recovery, etc. Premium options have a host of secondary benefits.
• Shorter lifespan: With cheap underlays long term durability is never taken into account. “When you buy cheap, you buy twice” definitely applies to underlays too. You should look at premium underlays as a long term investment that will pay for themselves over time in savings and longevity.
• Less comfortable: When you pay for the luxury of a premium underlay you get to feel the quality underfoot, making your flooring more comfortable overall compared to cheaper, harsher underlays that prioritise supporting the flooring layer above, rather than your personal comfort.

So What Does Pure Do Differently?

Pure Underlays are a premium option which come at a higher cost. But the benefits they offer make that extra cost worth it. Not convinced? Let’s look at some of Pure’s unique benefits and selling points.

Highest-Grade PU Foam

Only the purest high-grade PU foam is used in their underlay range. During an in-depth sorting process, all imperfections are removed to offer only the best foam for the final underlay. This makes for a clean underlay that feels luxurious.

Different Density Options

With Pure you have two options for density: Super High Density and Ultra High Density. Both are excellent options, and both come with 9mm and 11mm variants depending on your needs. The higher the density, the more durable the underlay, meaning you’ll get more use out of it.

Greater Stability & Comfort

The underlays from Pure come with a non-woven backing and printed top layer for even greater stability, giving you the support you need underfoot.

Fully Recyclable

Pure polyurethane foam is 100% recyclable. That means if you’re someone who is concerned about your impact on the environment, you can make a greener choice by opting for Pure underlays.

Compression Recovery

One of the more impressive features of Pure underlay is its ability to bounce back when compressed. Compression recovery is a key feature of more premium underlays, whilst cheaper ones are broken down, flattened, and indented over time. With Pure, your underlay will hold its shape and comfort for far longer.

Sound Reduction

Depending on the density and mm option you choose, impact sound reduction can be reduced by between 38 and 44 dB – with Pure’s 11mm Ultra High Density range achieving the most impressive impact sound reduction. All of Pure’s range will offer great sound reduction though, helping keep your space a peaceful one.

Suitable For Commercial Spaces & High Traffic

Pure’s underlay range can be used in commercial spaces with ease, thanks to its ability to withstand high foot traffic. This makes it ideal for use under carpets in office buildings, apartment complexes, and other commercial spaces which require a more luxurious feel.

Our Customer’s Experience

We offer Pure underlay as part of our premium range, so of course we’re going to highlight its benefits in our product feature blog today. But you don’t just have to take our word for it. We recently installed Pure underlay at an upscale office building on the Wirral. Office manager, Sara, had this to say about our team and the 11mm Super High Density Pure underlay she ordered:

“We’re absolutely made up with the Pure underlay we had installed from QA Flooring Solutions. The team offered fast delivery of a great product for a more than reasonable price. They liaised with our on-site maintenance team to ensure we got the right quantity for the job, and everyone we dealt with were polite, well-informed and able to help us every time.

As for the Pure underlay – well we’ve only had it installed just over a month, so I can’t talk about wear and tear or longevity, but the folks we spoke to at QA assure us that Pure underlay is built to last, and we have every reason to trust them. What I can say from experience though is that the underlay is comfortable, easy to install (although our maintenance team took care of that, I can’t take any credit), and the offices are noticeably quieter.

The Pure underlay and the team at QA have made a huge difference, and we’ll definitely be back again in the future if any of our other office buildings require an underlay upgrade!”
