Padding
Quality Carpet Padding
Carpet padding is the foam cushion used underneath carpeting to protect it. Good carpeting practice starts with choosing the right padding so that new carpets can lay correctly on the floor and remain comfortable.
At Carpet & Tile Mart, we understand that making a good padding choice starts with understanding its importance and how to select the right option for your carpeting.
Why Is Carpet Padding Important?
When you install padding for your carpet, you get more than carpet protection. Our carpet padding also helps you achieve:
- A more comfortable and softer surface: The right carpet padding gives your carpet a much softer and more comfortable feel, providing more cushion between your feet and the floor underneath the carpet. Additionally, carpet pads help to keep the carpet securely in place so it doesn't move when you walk on it, increasing comfort. Our Non Skid Fiber Pad (Sure-Grip) ensures maximum grip.
- Insulation: Our carpet pads provide additional insulation for your carpeting to help reduce your heating and cooling bills. The Crushmaster Pad has good thermal insulation and is a great choice to consider.
- Less fatigue when walking: Correctly installed carpet padding ensures you walk on an even surface and that your foot's impact on the carpet is absorbed to minimize fatigue. Our Defender Padand the Monster Pad are designed for heavy traffic and have powerful impact absorption capabilities to make walking on them more comfortable.
How to Choose the Right Pad for Your Carpet
The choice of a good carpet pad is mostly defined by the projected foot traffic in your space and your lifestyle needs.
We can help you choose the right padding for your carpet based on the following considerations.
Carpet Pad Density
Our heaviest pad, the Monster Pad, weighs 10 pounds, making it one of the most reliable picks for areas with high foot traffic. Our lighter options, like the Non Skid Fiber Pad (Sure-Grip) and the Fiber Pad, are ideal for structures like apartments because they're less expensive, and owners replace them more often.
Carpet Pad Thickness
Most residential customers prefer a carpet pad thickness between 3/8 inch and 7/16 inch. A higher thickness outside this range can cause wrinkles in the carpet, making it uncomfortable for your feet.
