We recommend the use of this Heavy Duty foam underlay !

As this product is 12mm thick, you will not need to fit a timber batterns underneath the standard 8mm Smoothedge as this underlay is not that dense, so it will easily compress down to Smoothedge height. (read additional information)

This type of underlay is designed for Double Bonded Installations (Underlay glued to floor & carpet glued to underlay). Various Mesh is fixed onto both sided of these underlays, the bottom mesh assists when the carpet is eventually taken-up & the Top mesh stops the glue absorbing into the underlay as well as protecting the underlay from damage while spreading the glue.
