Carpet Industry

In the carpet industry, foam is used as carpet and flooring underlay as it keeps carpets looking new longer and adds a plush, luxurious feel underfoot. The principal reason for using carpet cushion is to extend the appearance and lifespan of a carpet. Carpet underlay helps absorb the energy extended on the carpet by each footfall and hence helps the carpet look new longer while minimizing wear patterns. Using foam as a carpet underlay has many other advantages- it protects a new carpet investment, absorbs shock for a comfortable walking surface, has acoustical properties that help keep the house quiet and provides insulation to reduce energy costs.
