Troubleshooting
Carpet feels uneven or lumpy.
This could be due to overlapping underlay seams or insufficient securing to the subfloor. Ensure edges are butt-jointed (not overlapped) and properly adhered or taped. Check that the carpet is installed correctly over the underlay.
Underlay seems too thick for carpet installation.
While 10mm is standard for many domestic carpets, very low-pile carpets might be better suited to thinner underlay. Ensure you followed installation guides for your specific carpet type. The underlay should not impede proper carpet fitting.
New carpet has a slight odor.
New PU foam underlay can sometimes have a temporary off-gassing odor. Ensure the room is well-ventilated during and after installation. The smell should dissipate within a few days to a week.
