I am looking for the "best" underlay for a cormar 100% wool loop carpet for stairs and landing.

For bedrooms i normally use wilsons plushwalk 11mm, but I undertand for stairs and landing, ideally 9mm is best and something that is not PU foam, but maybe I am wrong?

Ideally by "best" something that does have comfort undefoot but is realtively hard wearing?

Thank you,]]> 6 Thu, 06 Aug 2026 20:21:11 +0000 https://theflooringforum.com/threads/need-advice-on-floor-prep-for-click-lvt.152791/ https://theflooringforum.com/threads/need-advice-on-floor-prep-for-click-lvt.152791/ invalid@example.com (Westie) Westie
I'm looking to fit quickstep alpha bloom click LVT in my living room and I'm looking for some advice on preparing the floor.

It's an older property with the original timber floorboards. I've checked the level with a 4ft spirit level and there is a few mm deviation over this length, but nothing too bad.

I'm planning to use flooring grade plywood over the floorboards, and I have a couple of questions about this -

- is 6mm ply suitable, or does it need to be 9mm. It will be screwed...
