Carpet insulation works by reducing heat transfer between the floor and the room, helping to maintain a comfortable temperature.

What carpet glue or adhesive to use to install a stairway carpet with urethane laminated underlay?

Use HSEA by Westech Aerosol. I used that product to glue my carpet to my wall. My friend recommended that product to me when he learned that I got frustrated with the old glue product that I was using. Since then, HSEA is my most preferred adhesive product not only for carpet installation but for other materials as well. It's a spray canister so it's very easy to use. What's good about it is that this adhesive is safe to the environment and health. And even if it does not contain methylene chloride, it maintains it strength and bonds materials permanently. So I highly suggest that you use Westech HSEA to install your carpet in the stairway.
