Polyurethane (PU) foam is the most popular underlay carpet in the UK. It offers superb protection for your floorings whilst providing a comfortable feel for your feet. With the foam being lightweight and easy to handle, it’s no wonder why industries are using it for their underlay.
Archbond are experts in high-density foam impact carpets. We manufacture everything in-house, and our R&D team works with you to tailor the underlay to your specification. The thickness of the foam can be varied from 10mm up to 50mm, and the final product can be supplied in rolls or cut into square tiles.

Foam or rubber underlay – which is better?
PU foam the better underlay if you:
Need a strong all-rounder
Installing in a high foot traffic area
Laying a peculiar-shaped room
Demand a wide choice of options
Rubber underlay can be better when placed in rooms with heavy furniture, but a strong lamination of PU or PE foam can meet the same standard.
Gymnasiums
Our closed-cell PE foam is made to take the impact of body weight time and time again. So, if you run a gym or martial arts studio that requires continuous drills, our foam is perfect for your underlay. PE foam is super durable, and it’s cushioning makes it a fantastic material for protecting joints!
Artificial Lawn Bowls Greens and Cricket Wickets
Managing a lawn for bowls is difficult, expensive, and time-consuming. We use a special vented foam and install it on a needle punch or woven fabric carpet.
Our high-density foam is perfect for artificial cricket-wickets. Laminated to a special carpet, our foam gives the same consistent bounce and performance as a grass wicket. No matter the length needed, we’ll supply it.
