Carpet Cushion

Carpet Cushion, also known as carpet padding or underlay, is a type of material that is placed underneath carpet flooring to provide additional comfort, support, and insulation. It is part of the supply class Floor Coverings in the supply group Household And Commercial Furnishings And Appliances.

Carpet Cushion serves several purposes:

1. Comfort: It adds a layer of cushioning under the carpet, making it more comfortable to walk or stand on. It helps to reduce the impact on the feet and provides a softer feel.

2. Support: Carpet Cushion helps to extend the life of the carpet by providing support and preventing excessive wear and tear. It helps to absorb the impact of foot traffic and furniture, reducing the stress on the carpet fibers.

3. Insulation: Carpet Cushion acts as a thermal insulator, helping to retain heat in the room and reduce energy costs. It also provides sound insulation, reducing noise transmission between floors.

4. Moisture Protection: Some Carpet Cushion materials have moisture-resistant properties, which help to prevent the growth of mold and mildew underneath the carpet.

When choosing Carpet Cushion, it is important to consider factors such as thickness, density, and material type. The thickness and density determine the level of comfort and support provided, while the material type can vary from foam to rubber to fiber. It is recommended to consult with a flooring professional or refer to the carpet manufacturer's guidelines to select the appropriate Carpet Cushion for your specific carpet type and installation requirements.

Overall, Carpet Cushion is an essential component of carpet flooring, enhancing its comfort, durability, and insulation properties.
