How to choose the perfect laminate flooring underlay?
Every DIY handyman knows: a job well begun is a job half done! This is no different when installing a new laminate floor. After all, there is one step that is more crucial to success than any other if you are planning to lay new laminate flooring. And, which step is that? Choosing the right underlay. We are happy to explain.
Check your subfloor: is it wood or concrete?
For a wooden subfloor:
Is this a room you use only occasionally, such as a bedroom or an attic? In that case, you can opt for our budget-friendly Underlay Foam.
Are you installing your floor in a living room or kitchen, where there is more traffic? Then a sound-absorbing solution is a better fit, such as Smart Underlay.
Do you want to minimise footstep noise as much as possible and create a quieter living or working environment? Then Silent Walk is the right choice. It also performs well with underfloor heating or cooling.
For a concrete subfloor:
Is this a room you use only occasionally, such as a bedroom or an attic? Then Underlay Foam+ is a practical, budget-friendly option.
Are you installing your floor in a high-traffic area like a living room or kitchen? In that case, choose a sound-absorbing underlay such as Smart Underlay+.
Looking for maximum noise reduction? Then Silent Walk is your best option. It is also suitable for use with underfloor heating or cooling.
