My understanding is the carpet is sprayed with people friendly chemicals nowdays & a simple professional clean will start to detoriate the protection applied from the manufacturer. I still stand by my comment of feeling what your carpet will be like instore with your selected underlay or with different underlays. I too get offered different foam underlays from different manufacturers, however as long as the density is there you won't have any issues. We regularly use a 100kg/m3 10mm product from a small local Distribution company in Qld that in my opinion will perform very well whilst offering great value for money to our customers. Dunlop offers Ultimate a 10mm 120kg/m3 density foam underlay & I would doubt many stores would have ever sold any in their years of retail. I have sold everything from the bottom end around 65kg/m3 7mm to the top 160kg/m3 density 10mm -12mm foam, Rubber, Felt & the best which is a frothed foam construction. As long as the salesperson is using the right product for the right area then the client will not have any problems. As for the feel in 15years time, my suggestion is to replace the carpet. In my opinion only, Anything 10-15 years or more in age that sees regular useage will likely need replacement. I have seen Axminster that is 25years old that still looked impressive, however I could still tell it was old, faded & the colours certainly were not something that was considered in fashion. The other thing to think about is will you even be in the same house in 10 or 15 years time? Will the Minister of Finance still be happy with what they have selected or will they want a freshen up? I'm not saying don't buy really good carpet, the opposite actually, buy the best you can afford, the flooring you most like because of the feel, texture, colour or look & then live in your house the way you want too & enjoy your purchase. Flooring is an Investment, but you still have to like what you are spending your money on. Oh no! I would use a can of expandable foam ( there are some that will take render) then cut it back and render over the top 1 4108 There is nothing in the various codes and standards that puts this requirement on the builder to do.
