Carpet Padding (Cushion)

The type of padding used with your new Carpet can make a difference in the way your Carpet will perform and feel, and no one type of padding is right for all carpets. So we will discuss what padding should be used for  what carpet and situation.

Rebond Padding is sort of like a sponge and comes in different thicknesses and density’s. We recommend to use the ½” (thick) 6 Lb. (density) with most plush carpets, And the 3/8” 8 Lb. for lower plush carpets.

Felt Padding is a more dense padding with less give and doesn't feel as soft underfoot But will last longer than the rebond padding and is recommended for most low pile carpets, Woven Carpets and is also used in high traffic areas.  It’s our preferred padding for most Installations. Some other benefits it is hypo allergenic and moisture resistant.

Specialty Padding (Rubber Padding, Pet Proof Padding, and more.) will be discussed in our next Blog.
