How thick, How Dense & Which Rooms is the Tredaire Dreamwalk for?
The Tredaire Dreamalk is an 11mm thick underlay. The thickness is designed to help cushion the flooring between the carpet and the sub floor. It also prolongs the life of the carpet.
The density is approximately 110 kg/m3, which is a medium density when compared against other products. The medium density means that it will be slightly easier to carry, cut and fit than the higher density, heavier products.
The Dreamwalk is suitable for any room in the domestic home. However, as it doesn’t have that super-high density, and is quite thick, it’s not usually recommended for the hall, stairs or landing.
The thickness can also cause problems when laying over the steps.
If you’re laying carpet on the stairs, see the alternative suggestions at the bottom of this page. We offer fantastic products that are also great as all-rounders.
The versatility of this product and excellent recovery characteristics makes this our best-selling carpet underlay.
