Underlay

Underlay - Glossary

Often used beneath laminate floors, engineered floor boards or solid hardwood flooring. Suitable underlay usually takes the form of a foam sheet of approximately 2-3mm thickness. The underlay serves as a thin layer of insulation (therefore not advisable in under-floor heating situations) but more importantly serves to quieten creaking and knocking ,particularly of floating floors, as they are walked upon. It gives a better quality feel to the finished floor for very little cost outlay.
