Features

High Thermal Resistance

 photo Underlay-Thermal-Resistance. align=Thermal resistance is important when selecting your laminate /wood underlay for use with electric underfloor heating. 
The higher the value, the less heat will be lost to the floor underneath.

Please note this underlay is specifically designed for electric underfloor heating systems and is not suitable for water based underfloor heating where the underlay needs to be heat conductive rather than resistive.  










Integral High Performance Damp Proof Barrier

 photo Underlay-Board-Moisture-Resistance align=High moisture protection from an integral moisture vapour barrier making it suitable for use on both timber and concrete subfloors.
For concrete floors select the aluminium joint tape option from the drop down box above. Also anti fungal and mildew resistant.








High Compressive Strength

 photo Underlay-Board-Compression align=Compressive strength is measured in kilograms per square meter which expresses the weight needed for a 0.5mm deformation. 
The higher the value, the more resistant the underlay is to reducing in thickness due to surface load.
This ensures both your flooring and underfloor heating stay protected over their lifetime.

Ideal for high traffic areas







Thickness and Conformity

 photo Underlay-Board-Thickness align=Dense 5mm thick foam structure absorbs minor floor imperfections with minimum height increase to the overall floor level.
A floor is considered level if the deviation in height is less than 2mm over a distance of 2.5 linear meters.








Sound Insulation

 photo Underlay-Board-Sound-Reduction align=Reduces noise from footsteps and dropped objects both inside the room and in rooms underneath. This makes it an excellent choice for apartments or flats.
Measured in decibels the drum sound reduction measures the perceived reduced level of sound in the room created by impact sources on the flooring. 







Fitting Instructions

  1. Ensure the floor is dry flat and level. A floor is considered level if the deviation in height is less than 2mm over a distance of 2.5 linear meters.
  2. Lay the first row of boards out length ways at a 90º angle to the direction of the floor installation. No adhesive is required.
  3. Butt the edge of the next row tightly to the first ensuring that the joints on the short sides of the boards are staggered between rows in a brick bond pattern.
  4. If the floor underneath is concrete, carefully tape all the joints using aluminium joint tape.
    Underlay can be cut using a utility knife or sharp scissors. 

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of laminate or wood floor can be used with this underlay?
Providing the floor is level any type of laminate or wood flooring that is designed to be installed as a floating floor can be used with this underlay.

Is any additional insulation required? 
For the majority of installations this underlay is all that is required. For rooms with high heat loss such as those with single skin external walls or conservatories, extra insulation installed under the underlay will increase the efficiency of the system.

Can I use this underlay with other floor coverings such as tiles? 
No, this type of underlay is only suitable for use with laminate and floated engineered wood floors.
