Anyone familiar with wood fibre underlay? Looking at the stuff that comes in green sheets for going under laminate or wood. I'm rearranging furniture in my bedroom and considering laying it as a temporary option - the floorboards are uneven with random gaps and it's above the kitchen which is really cold in winter. They'll get redone eventually but it's not a priority.
Half the room will have a big rug on top but it'll be exposed under the bed, with boxes and things that'll get pulled across it.
Specs say no glue or resin, does it shed dust if exposed? Do the corners lift or does it tend to stay put? Specs recommend tape across joins - is that for airtightness rather than fixing down? I was thinking carpet tacks if necessary. It's not a proper solution but just thinking of something that's relatively cheap and easy to install an improves the current situation. There's also a flexible woodfibre carpet underlay that comes on a roll but I thought the sheets might be slightly more durable under the bed.
