Carbon negative bio based film - we use a bio-based film made from responsibly sourced sugar cane on the face of the underlay. The sugar cane actively captures CO2 from the atmosphere, while at the same time releasing oxygen - making this material not just green, but proactively green

every 1 tonne of our new bio-based film manufactured means that 3.09 tonnes of CO2 has been captured from our atmosphere

sustainable packaging - our packaging is made from 100% recycled plastic

R0.24 thermal insulation - great insulating properties keeps your room warm and saves energy

25DB - acoustic performance for peace and quiet

Comfort guaranteed - improves comfort for a soft underfoot feeling

Every Roll Purchased Helps Us Plant a Tree

Our commitment to sustainability goes further than how we manufacture our underlay. Purchase a roll of Renu, and we'll give back to the environment by planting a tree.

Density

Why is density important?

The density represents how much foam is packed into each cubic metre of underlay. A high-value density will indicate a better quality underlay (more foam, less air!). As a rule, the higher these numbers, the more luxurious and supportive the carpet underlay will feel. The higher the density, the longer the life of the carpet.

Acoustic Performance

Does underlay help with noise transfer?

An acoustic or sound rating is used to judge and limit how noise travels within an environment. A Dunlop Underlay can help reduce noise by up to 62%.

Your Dunlop underlay is graded by the AAAC (Association of Australasian Acoustical Consultants) star ratings:
= less than 65dB
= less than 55 dB
= less than 50 dB
= less than 45 dB
= less than 40 dB

Thermal Insulation

What is an underlay thermal rating?

Thermal insulation is measured by an 'R-value' which stands for resistance. Resistance is measured by the amount of heat that passes through a product at a particular time and thickness. The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power. A Dunlop Underlay can act as a barrier between the subfloor and your hard flooring or carpet. A good thermal-resistant underlay will help keep your energy bills down!
