Demand for branded underlay continues to grow


Interfloor are seeing continued growth in their Tredaire and Duralay underlays. Steve Woodhead, Interfloor marketing director, says, “Demand for our high density Tredaire PU products, like Sensation, Dreamwalk and Softwalk remains strong. We’re also seeing a resurgence in demand from retailers for our ultra high density crumb rubber underlays such as Duralay Treadmore and System 10. These are unbeatable 400kg/m3 density products with 100% recovery so they are very popular for high traffic and heavy furniture areas.”

Interfloor has recently launched Tredaire FR7, its first flame retardant PU underlay. This 145kg density underlay, with a 7mm thickness, is specially designed for both domestic and contract installations where flame retardancy is specified. FR7’s unique construction includes a polyester reinforcing mesh which provides excellent dimensional stability and ensures clean release from the subfloor on removal. The underlay is classified for Heavy Contract Use (BS5808:1991) and has high thermal resistance (1.93 togs).
