Underlay is an important element whatever the flooring being used. Using underlay offers several benefits; it reduces walking noise in the room, it makes carpets more comfortable to walk on, it provides heat insulation\u2026and much more!<\/p>\n

And now QA Flooring Solutions are introducing Breathe underlay for carpet, a pioneering breakthrough with real health and environmental benefits perfect for today\u2019s home.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Breathe is truly a step forward in the flooring industry, a totally new product made from a natural and sustainable material \u2013 wood. And if that\u2019s surprising, wait until you see its unique benefits.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A natural choice for a healthier home<\/strong><\/p>\n

The wood fibres in Breathe come from a fully managed source, with no harmful chemicals or formaldehydes used in production \u2013 so not only is it better for the environment, unlike traditional underlays it doesn\u2019t give off any VOCs, harmful vapours or unpleasant smells after installation. It\u2019s even fully biodegradable at the end of its life.<\/p>\n

But the biggest benefit from the wood fibres is their breathability. In tests, Breathe filtered out a remarkable 95% of dust from the air that passed through it, trapping even the smallest particles. That means enhanced air quality, a fresher-feeling home and an easier life for allergy sufferers.\u00a0 It works at its best when used throughout the property.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A fresh kind of underlay <\/strong><\/p>\n

Breathe passes the applicable BS5808 performance standards.\u00a0 In particular its high compressive strength helps to keep carpets in excellent condition and make them very comfortable underfoot.<\/p>\n

It has an ideal thermal resistance (1.3 tog) for underfloor heating, and is stable, lightweight and easy to cut and install. Its breathability prevents mould and damp building up underneath, so it can be safely laid over old parquet flooring.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A new standard in underlay<\/strong><\/p>\n

Breathe is a really exciting step forward. It has real benefits to offer to homeowners, with the potential to turn underlay from an out-of-sight commodity to a positive lifestyle choice, an investment in a healthier home and the well-being of their families.<\/p>\n
