I have decided to replace the worn/ faded carpets on my newly aquired n/b.
When I started taking the old one up I found there had been no underlay used, it was laid directly onto the wooden floor.
As this was a professional fit out, i was wondering if this was for a specific reason or just an oversight or cost cutting reasons.
I have purchased some new special thermal underlay ready to re-carpet.But should I lay a layer of heavy duty polythene down
first, I was told to use news paper but would that not retain moisture/ damp.
Please can anyone advise or share their experiences..................
Many Thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR to all.
