Underfloor heating (UFH) systems are becoming an ever more popular way for people to heat their homes. Traditionally you’d team UFH with wood/laminate flooring or luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) as these types of flooring are thinner than carpet and therefore allow the heat to transfer through easier. A nylon carpet, such as this from Flooring Superstore , can make a great hardwearing option for areas of high footfall.

Berber or looped pile products are made from continuous uncut loops on the surface of the carpet, resulting in a distinctive knotted appearance. Underfloor heating underlay needs to allow enough heat to pass through to your room without sacrificing comfort and durability. There is little point in choosing carpet over wood flooring or LVT if you have to compromise on these fundamentals. If you’re keen to boost your home’s green credentials then do spend some time looking at the natural carpets aside from wool on offer.

Where is the carpet being laid? The first step is to consider where in your house the carpet is going to be laid and the purpose it’s going to serve. This is a good starting point in determining how durable it needs to be. When it comes to carpeting high-traffic areas such as stairs, hallways and ‘through lounges’, you need an underlay that is durable, dependable and hardwearing. Although slightly thinner than an ‘average’ underlay at 6.10mm, it offers a density of 495kg/m³, making it one of the most dense and hardwearing products available. Despite this, it has a TOG rating of just 0.75. Don’t be afraid to vacuum the carpet soon after it’s been fitted, either, as new carpets tend to shed fibres once they’ve been laid. Regardless of your carpet’s material or pile, any spillages should be dealt with as soon as possible. “The spillage should be gently mopped and blotted or scooped up with a spoon,” says Joanna. “The carpet should never be rubbed as this can cause the fibres to burst, causing a fuzzy appearance.” Tredaire Dreamwalk is a product that delivers an unbeatable level of thermal insulation thanks to its extremely high TOG rating of 3.13.
A loop pile wool carpet can be problematic as its fabric is easily snagged by claws," says Gemma Holsgrove. "A more formal cut pile carpet design is a little difficult to clean when subjected to dirt and damp."
