Benefits of Underlay

• cushioning and comfort, provides additional cushioning and comfort underfoot especially if your stairs are made of hardwood or tile.
• noise reduction, helps to reduce the impact noise from footsteps.
• protection, protects the stair treads from wear and tear. Also protects the back of the stair runner from rubbing against the stairs and extends its lifespan 
• anti slip properties, enhances the safety of your stairs
• improved aesthetics, gives the stair runner a more even and smooth appearance.

Choose an underlay especially for stair runners and designed for the material you are installing. Don't go with something that is too thick as it may raise the height of the runner too much
