Rubber crumb from recycled tyres. Fibres from old carpets, coffee sacks, coke bottles and woolly jumpers. Even cork from wine-stopper manufacturing waste. All this has saved hundreds of tonnes of CO2 every year – greenhouse gas that would have damaged our planet, had they used virgin materials. It’s something Footfall have believed in since their business began and they are determined to keep on doing what is right – developing new ideas from old materials and solving more of your flooring problems without creating environmental ones.

Footfall underlay helps make your space quieter. With underlays it’s mostly about impact sound reduction, though some products can also help with airborne sound transmission. When developing products, they are location-driven, aiming for the specification best suited for the places in which Footfall products will be used. Their range will always be growing and evolving as they discover new materials to re-use and new technologies to help you have a quieter life.
