02 Oct Reasons To Install Pet Defence® Underlay Even If You Don’t Have Pets
With a name like Pet Defence® we can understand why people may think that this premium underlay is only for those who have four legged family members sharing their home. And we’ll agree that that was the main focus we kept in mind when designing this particular underlay – we have plenty of other premium options after all. But that doesn’t mean that Pet Defence® is only suitable for homes with pets. In fact, we think it’s a great solution for pretty much any situation where you’re wanting a luxurious residential underlay. That’s why today we’re outlining five reasons to install Pet Defence® underlay in your home, even if you don’t have pets.
It’s Waterproof
The breathable moisture barrier that’s built into our Pet Defence® underlay helps prevent small spills from leaking through to your subfloor. This means your risk of damage to your subfloor from spills on the surface is significantly decreased. This may not sound all that important, but when you consider the fact that a damp subfloor can lead to issues with mould and mildew (and could even see your floors sinking or collapsing in extreme cases) it becomes a major benefit.
It Helps Prevent Stains
Did you know that a large chunk of carpet stains are actually due to spills sitting within your underlay or subfloor and rising back up into your carpet? This is because cleaning up a spill at a surface level doesn’t necessarily get rid of the entire mess, therefore allowing the issue to manifest as persistent marks on your carpet. Another benefit that Pet Defence®’s breathable moisture barrier provides is that it helps prevent this from occurring, as it keeps spills from sinking lower than the surface. This makes them much easier to clean up and means there’s less risk of persistent issues.
It Helps Build A Healthier Interior Environment
Because Pet Defence® is both hypo-allergenic and anti-microbial, it can help you create a healthier interior environment. By providing these benefits, Pet Defence® can assist in improving the indoor air quality in your home, so you can breathe easier both literally and figuratively – especially if you’ve got asthma or allergies.
It’s Compatible With Underfloor Heating
If you’re looking for an ultimately comfortable and luxurious flooring option, you can’t go past Pet Defence® with your favourite plush carpet and underfloor heating. Thanks to a 10mm thickness and 100kg/m³ density, Pet Defence® can assist your carpet in feeling better underfoot, and it’s compatible with underfloor heating, so you can maximise the luxe vibes in your space.
It Has A Lifetime Guarantee
Finally, when it comes to installing something as important as your floors, you want to know that the materials you’re using are built to last. That’s Why Pet Defence® comes with a Lifetime of the Carpet Guarantee. This means that your underlay will last as long as your carpet, so you can enjoy the benefits outlined in this blog for years to come.
