Carpets/Rugs Backing
Durable non-woven felt backing for carpets and rugs, adding stability, cushioning and long-lasting performance underfoot.
Stability and cushioning underfoot
A carpet or rug is only as good as what’s holding it together. This backing felt gives the construction the stability to hold its shape and lie flat, while adding a layer of cushioning that makes the finished floor covering feel and wear better over years of use.
Built to your backing spec
GSM, thickness and density are made to order rather than picked from a fixed catalogue, so the backing can be tuned to the weight and stiffness your carpet or rug construction needs — from a thin, flexible sheet to a heavier, firmer batt.
Key features
- Stabilises carpet and rug construction so it holds its shape underfoot
- Adds cushioning and a softer underfoot feel
- Strong, mechanically bonded structure resists wear over years of use
