Wood flooring underlay
The durability of your new wood floor can be determined by the wood flooring underlay.
There are distinct types of wood flooring underlay for different types of installation, sound, heat, or moisture insulation quality. More so, there are unique types of underlay for the different types of wood flooring that are being installed.
One of the most common features in a wood flooring underlay is a moisture barrier which inhibits moisture from getting into floor boards so as not to ruin the entire floor.
Types of wood flooring underlay
• Foam Underlay is composed of lightweight closed cell polyethylene foam that is entirely recyclable - which provides outstanding thermal and sound insulating characteristics.
• Damp Proof Underlay is mainly used to protect flooring from moisture.
• Sound-Proof Rubber Underlay is constructed from high density rubber and lessens impact noise.
• Insulation Underlay provides unparalleled thermal insulation (2.15 Togs), which makes it best for use on cold floors and in cellars.
• Underfloor Heating underlay works best when paired with under floor heating. Meanwhile, Quick Therm underlay is made of extremely dense lightweight closed cell polyethylene foam which provides maximum heat transfer.
