Hi All,

A little while ago I was given a batch of pretty sound carpet tiles
that I thought might be good in the hall, spare / work room in the
interim (so probably another 10 years then) ;-)

I put down a layer of the fibre-based laminate underlay under the carpet
tiles in our downstairs WC.

Is that the (typically) green stuff Rod?

Although expressly discouraged by the tile
manufacturers, it has worked well - improving warmth and softening them
underfoot. (It is a cold solid concrete floor beneath.) If too thick or too
soft, any such underlay could cause the tiles to bow, creep and otherwise
misbehave.

Understood.

At the moment our loo has lino tiles that are stuck to the vinyl 'self
leveling' and then the concrete. It is pretty cold in the winter so
you either keep yer feet on the mat or wear slippers but easy to keep
clean ;-)

All the best ..
