    Had a request today on a very tall pointed building in London to lay a specially made carpet with the borders already inlaid,
    To be laid on two layers of underlay, two areas are lift lobbies around 5m long, but a larger area which will be around 15m long by 5m
    Now would you use two layers of durafit, sticking both together or try to stretch it ?

    I used to do the playbarn type things, you sometimes see attached to pubs.
    We used to use 2 layers of Durafit. The top one at right angles to the bottom.

    2 dura fit should work but for what reason do they want it doubled?
