Victoria Ultimate Impressions - suitable for Stairs & Landing? + Underlay recommendations please

Hi All

Wanted to get the experts opinion on the above please.

I am looking to lay Victoria's Ultimate Impressions' twist carpet in 5 Bedrooms + the Landing and Staircase.

This was chosen after comparing with Cormar's Primo Ultra & Grande carpet ranges - I hope I have made the right decision?

The Victoria carpet has a pile height of 15mm and a total thickness of 17mm - would such a high pile height be suitable for high traffic areas like the staircase and hallway? Or would premature pile flattening be a concern?

The carpet seems to have a "Heavy Domestic" AND a "Heavy Commercial" rating so I was thinking it might be fine for these use cases?

Addtionally, what would be the best Underlay pairing with the Victoria carpet? From my research, I was thinking:

Bedrooms: Wilsons Plushwalk 12mm OR Tredaire Dreamwalk 11mm OR other...?
Staircase & Landing: Cloud 9 Connoisseur 10mm OR Cloud 9 Cumulus 11mm OR other...?


Primary aim is longevity and having the carpet looking good for at least the next 5-7 years..

Thank you for any advice or recommendations

 

9mm underlay for stairs would be best. Tredaire Chromium

 

Thanks Daz, hadn't considered dropping to 9mm for stairs - will look into that product.

Any feedback on the carpet choice and Tredaire Dreamwalk 11mm everywhere else?

Thanks

 

The ultimate is a great carpet. I would still do 9mm underlay in bedrooms myself though. I find 11mm to thick with a thick carpet.

 

Thanks Daz - I'll have to find a sample, then decide either way!

 

Do you cover NW London by any chance?

 

I don’t even cover the north west of England at the moment and I live here
