FAQs
Do I need to use underlay with this carpet?
The felt backing provides a base layer, so underlay is often optional for installation. However, adding a good quality underlay can enhance comfort, insulation, and the longevity of the carpet.
Is this carpet suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?
This carpet is primarily designed for general living areas. It is not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens due to potential damage from excessive water.
How do I clean a bleach stain if I accidentally use too much?
If a bleach stain is too severe or widespread, it may be permanent. For minor over-application, rinse the area thoroughly with clean water and blot dry.
What is the lifespan of this carpet?
With regular maintenance and proper care, the Underfoot Haven carpet is designed to last for several years, particularly in medium-traffic areas. Actual lifespan can vary based on usage intensity and cleaning habits.
Can this carpet be used with underfloor heating?
Yes, it can be used with underfloor heating, but it is crucial to use appropriate installation methods and potentially a compatible underlay designed for heated floors to ensure efficient heat transfer and prevent damage.
What are the dimensions available?
The carpet is available in 4m widths. The length can be cut to your specific needs, with a maximum roll length of 25m.
Troubleshooting
Carpet appears flattened in high-traffic areas.
Vacuum the carpet regularly to help restore the pile. If the flattening is severe, consider using a stiffer brush attachment during vacuuming.
Spills are difficult to remove.
Blot the spill immediately. If a stain remains, use a bleach-based cleaner diluted according to instructions. Always test cleaning solutions in an inconspicuous area first.
Carpet edges are fraying.
Ensure the carpet was cut cleanly. If fraying persists, it may require professional attention or a carpet edging strip.
Carpet feels uneven or lumpy.
Check the subfloor for irregularities. If the carpet was installed without underlay, adding a thin layer of appropriate underlay might improve comfort and evenness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Due to its felt backing, the Underfoot Haven carpet is designed for straightforward installation. It can often be fitted directly onto a clean, dry subfloor without the need for separate underlay, simplifying the DIY process. For optimal results and to extend the carpet's lifespan, professional fitting is recommended, especially for larger or irregularly shaped rooms. Ensure the subfloor is level and free from debris before laying.
Compatibility:
This carpet is suitable for most indoor residential areas, including bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, hallways, and home offices. While it can be used on stairs, ensure it is properly secured to prevent tripping hazards. It is compatible with standard underfloor heating systems if an appropriate method of installation (e.g., using a specific type of gripper and underlay recommended for such systems) is chosen, though this is not required for basic fitting.
Care:
- Regular Vacuuming: Vacuum regularly, at least once or twice a week, to remove surface dirt and prevent it from settling into the pile.
- Spill Management: Blot up spills immediately with a clean, dry cloth. Do not rub. For stubborn stains, use a bleach-based cleaner as per the manufacturer's instructions. Test any cleaning solution in an inconspicuous area first.
- Professional Cleaning: For deep cleaning or heavily soiled areas, professional carpet cleaning is recommended every 12-18 months.
