    Can all `PROFESSIONAL FITTTERS` When installing 12mm thick underlays adopt the BEST INDUSTRY PRACTICE of PLY / HARDBOARD / LVT off cut strips placed directly under carpet grippers: allows carpet backings to engage with the carpet gripper. Thanks.

    Or stop using underlay that’s too thick. Makes the carpet wear faster

    Carpet don't need 12mm underlay, & i'll start using ply strips when the shops that sell the 12mm underlay supply ply strips to highten the gripper & pay extra for me to put them down,
    Lol!

    10mm is the max I use. Just buy a thicker carpet!
