Cloud 9 Underlay which way up?

[Steven Campbell]

I guess the "Cloud 9" writing should be uppermost after it has been laid but can't find anywhere to confirm this? Anyone know for definite?

When I had mine laid 3 years ago the 'coulored' face was uppermost. As the brown face on your picture is similar to ''waffle' underlay I presume my carpet fitters laid it correctly, after all they do it every day and I don't!

That should of course say coloured!

Thanks John but I'm not really sure what side up you mean when you say coloured face uppermost?

The brown in the picture where it says "cloud" is actually backing paper as opposed to waffle. It's the same backing paper on waffle underlay and on waffle underlay it says "this side up" so that's why I presumed looking at the picture it should be "cloud" facing up!

I laid mine cloud up, but that does mean you can't just unroll it into position. The carpet fitter did not comment on it, either.

Thanks John.

I've only laid mine out but when walking over it there seems to be a crunching noise. Did you notice anything similar with yours?

You get a slight rustle from the backing paper / plastic film on the face of it - but you can't hear that when the carpet is down.

I am sure he will be relived to get that underlay down after waiting 11 years...

Its no good moaning at the people its the bloody stupid sorting system on that silly usenet portal that sorts stuff in month no matter what year it was. Brian

If it's any consolation Brian, the NS&I website sorts the premium bond winners using the same 'algorithm' !!.

eg, look at high value winners, click on 'date purchased' and you get this :-
