A guide to floor underlay
The right underlay is crucial for achieving comfort and practicality when laying a new floor. Underlay not only provides a layer of support and protection that prolongs the lifespan of the flooring materials, but it can also bring additional benefits - from improving underfoot comfort to moisture prevention.
Floor underlay can also improve heat flow, straighten uneven floors, and increase the lifespan of the flooring's upper layers, all of which can help maintain an optimum room temperature.
Our selection of floor underlay includes Quick-Step underlay, which is ideal for places with frequent traffic and helps with sound insulation.
Choosing the right type of flooring underlay for your project is essential, whether you're fitting carpet or laminate flooring.
Do you need underlay for vinyl or laminate flooring?
Most types of vinyl flooring have a base layer that acts as underlayment.
However, laminate flooring underlay is essential. Due to the laminate's 'click and lock' installation system, the flooring 'floats' above the subfloor, meaning any subflooring defects can considerably impact the floor's finish. Some laminate planks come with pre-attached underlay, but for ones that don't, you'll need to purchase laminate flooring underlay separately.
Do you need carpet underlay?
Yes, carpet underlayment has a range of benefits. The right material can cushion the foot and act as a shock absorber, insulator and noise barrier.
Does underlay need an expansion gap?
No expansion gap is needed for underlay.
