Woolhouse underlay is manufactured from a dense blend of natural wool fibres, mechanically bonded onto a durable eco-scrim backing. This construction delivers: High resilience under load Consistent performance over time A more stable alternative to lightweight synthetic underlays

Yes. Woolhouse underlay has been tested in accordance with BS EN 14499:2015, the European standard for textile carpet underlays Testing covers: Thickness retention under static and dynamic loading Compression performance and recovery Structural integrity and resistance to cracking The product meets the required criteria for general domestic use classification (GD/U)

Independent testing demonstrates: Controlled thickness loss under static and dynamic loading Retention of compression performance after repeated impact No structural cracking under test conditions This supports long-term use in typical residential and moderate traffic environments.

Woolhouse underlay is Inherently Flame Retardant (IFR) due to the natural properties of wool fibres. This means: No applied flame-retardant chemical treatments No flammable secondary backings such as jute Stable fire performance that does not degrade over time

Woolhouse underlay is designed with a dense fibre structure that contributes to impact sound reduction. Third-party acoustic data is currently being validated under the Woolhouse brand. Full certified results will be published as they become available.

Core Comfort (42oz): Balanced density Suitable for general residential applications Provides consistent support and insulation Premium Durability (56oz): Increased mass and density Improved resistance to compression under traffic Better suited to high-use areas such as circulation spaces and stairs

Suitable for: Residential installations Stairs, landings, and circulation areas Projects requiring natural fibre specifications It is designed for use beneath stretch-fitted carpet systems using standard installation methods.

Yes. Underlay plays a critical role in: Reducing stress on carpet backing Improving load distribution Maintaining surface appearance over time Testing under BS EN 14499 conditions shows stable performance under repeated loading scenarios

Testing shows: Consistent thickness across samples Controlled deviation within standard tolerances Uniform behaviour under compression This supports predictable installation and performance.

Woolhouse underlay is classified for general domestic use (GD/U) under BS EN 14499 It may be suitable for light applications depending on project requirements, but specifiers should assess traffic levels and performance criteria accordingly.
