FAQs

What flooring types is this underlay compatible with?

This underlay is exclusively compatible with laminate and hardwood flooring. It is not designed for use with vinyl, carpet, or other flooring materials.

How does the vapour barrier work?

The metallised gold layer acts as a barrier to prevent moisture from rising through concrete or ground floors. The self-adhesive overlap creates a continuous seal when installed correctly.

Can I use this underlay with underfloor heating?

This product description does not specify compatibility with underfloor heating. Always check the specific requirements for your underfloor heating system and flooring before installation.

How much area does one roll cover?

Each roll covers approximately 15 square meters (15m²).

Is this underlay difficult to cut?

No, the underlay is lightweight and designed to be easily cut with a sharp utility knife for a precise fit around edges and obstacles.

What is the thickness of the underlay?

The underlay is 5mm thick.

Will this underlay smooth out a slightly uneven subfloor?

The 5mm foam offers some cushioning and can help even out minor imperfections, but significantly uneven subfloors should be leveled before installation for optimal results.

Troubleshooting

Underlay seems to shift during flooring installation

Ensure the subfloor is perfectly flat and clean. Check that the flooring panels are securely locked into place, which will help hold the underlay down.

Vapour barrier overlap not sticking well

Ensure the area is dry and free from dust before pressing the overlap. You can use a small piece of strong tape as a temporary or additional fix if needed.

Excessive noise still present after installation

Verify that the underlay is laid flat with no gaps and that the flooring panels are correctly interlocked. Minor subfloor imperfections can sometimes transmit sound; ensure the subfloor is as level as possible before laying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Improves underfoot comfort significantly.
Effectively reduces impact noise between floors.
Provides essential moisture protection for subfloors.
Easy to cut and handle, simplifying installation.
Extends the lifespan of compatible flooring types.

Cons

Only compatible with laminate and hardwood flooring.
May not provide sufficient thickness for very uneven subfloors.
The 15m² coverage might require multiple rolls for very large areas.
The adhesive overlap for the vapour barrier may require careful alignment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This underlay is specifically designed for use with laminate and hardwood flooring. It is not suitable for vinyl, carpet, or other flooring types.

Setup:

Ensure the subfloor is clean, dry, and free from debris.
Unroll the underlay and lay it flat, ensuring the metallised gold side faces upwards.
Cut the underlay to fit the room using a sharp utility knife, trimming around edges and obstacles.
For seamless moisture protection, overlap the self-adhesive strips along the edges and press firmly to seal.
Proceed with installing your laminate or hardwood flooring directly on top of the underlay, following the flooring manufacturer's instructions.

Care: This underlay requires no specific maintenance after installation. Its primary function is to protect the flooring from the subfloor. Ensure the flooring installed on top is cleaned and maintained according to its own specific care instructions.
