\"what<\/p>\n

The padding beneath your carpet<\/em> serves multiple purposes; foremost, the padding provides added comfort underfoot, so your heels don\u2019t thud against the hard, unforgiving substrate each time you take a step. But your carpet\u2019s padding serves other\u2014and equally important\u2014purposes, too.<\/p>\n

One of those purposes is to act as a cushion to protect your carpet\u2019s backing from abrasion against the decking attached to the floor joists in your home. Without a proper carpet cushion<\/a>, each time you took a step on your carpet, the backing would grind against the decking, causing delamination, which would inevitably shorten the lifespan of your carpeting.<\/p>\n

We would be remiss if we didn\u2019t mention that not all padding is equal in quality<\/strong>; what works for one application may not work in another. It is in your best interest to do your homework on which padding is the correct variety for the type of carpet you intend to purchase.<\/p>\n

\"do<\/p>\n

A plush carpet<\/a>, for example, requires padding of a different density than what a Berber carpet<\/a> requires. Using the wrong variety of padding could lead to unsightly waves and ripples in your carpeting, and may lead to a void of the manufacturer\u2019s warranty on the product you selected.<\/p>\n

As a bonus, your carpet\u2019s padding helps insulate your home, keeping it warmer in the winter and cooler during the summer months. A better-insulated home uses less energy, keeping your hard-earned dollars in your pocket instead of sending them off to the energy provider in your locale.<\/p>\n
