Re: 9 Tips for Buying and Owning Carpet 5Feb 20, 2010 11:50 pm Such a good thread for carpet-know-nothings like me, good on you all Choosing a carpet is SO OVERWHELMING! I'll definitely be asking for the good stuff for underlay. If you do spend up big on underlay then if you want to replace your carpet and the underlay is of sound quality, can you get away with using it again for the new carpet? Re: 9 Tips for Buying and Owning Carpet 6Feb 21, 2010 12:06 am Vundaful! If you do spend up big on underlay then if you want to replace your carpet and the underlay is of sound quality, can you get away with using it again for the new carpet? Some people do it, but the answer is NO. A new carpet should be layed on new underlay. Australian Standard 2455.1:2007 states that underlay should have the same or greater life expectancy as the carpet (or sumthin like that... couldn't be bothered lookin it up). If say the carpet was changed for some reason within the first year or two maybe it'd be ok, but its best to lay new carpet on new underlay. Ash.

On the ACCS ratings - It is an industry funded rating scheme - so personally I don't get too excited about the ratings. If it was 100% independent, then I would, but I have seen too many ratings that are just ridiculous. I have seen carpets with commercial ratings that are not even good enough to go in a house - you just shrug your head and ask how...... Just be careful with building stability during construction, that is when the structure may be weakened, refer to your engineering drawings for stability methodology. 1 7199 Thank you so much.
