Duralay Timbermate Excel Laminate and Wood Underlay 10sqm: The best laminate underlay for less noise For example, to ensure the installation runs smoothly, it’s important to make sure you have enough carpet underlay for the job. This can be achieved by carefully measuring the room and using the accurate flooring calculator above to work out the total surface area. First of all, great choice. Manufactured by Royale, this is one of the very best gold foil underlays currently available – engineered to provide superior insulation and damp-resistance for laminate and hardwood floorings. But to make the most of these properties, it must be fitted correctly. Rooms prone to cold or rising damp need a laminate underlay that’s up to the job. Thermolevel is one such underlay. It’s made with an integrated vapour barrier so there’s no need for extra damp proofing; once the seams are sealed, your new laminate flooring will be perfectly protected. Plus, as Thermolevel preserves heat, it will keep the space toasty warm, too.

Installing laminate flooring in overhead rooms can mean that the noise of footsteps and more travels into the spaces below. So, if you’re thinking of adding it to bedrooms – especially kids’ bedrooms – you’ll need to add a good sound-proofing underlay. Made from high-density sponge rubber with a built-in vapour barrier, Duralay’s Timbermate Excel underlay is ideal. It will reduce sound by up to 23dB – or around 30% – so little ones can thunder around as much as they please. It’s no surprise that laminate flooring is hugely popular, as it’s cost-effective, hard-wearing and available in a range of designs suitable for almost every room of your home. However, as with carpet, a suitable underlay is a must if you want to help your floor last longer, and look and perform better once it’s laid. Without it, there’s more pressure on the joins between the laminate planks, and more chance of moisture from the sub-floor reaching the planks and causing damage. It will usually be noisier when you walk on it, too. If you’re ready to invest in underlay for your new flooring, take the first step today, and use our carpet measurement calculator to work out how much you need. How long does carpet underlay last? The laminate flooring you buy may recommend a compatible underlay (or one that meets warranty requirements) but if not, or you’re shopping around, work out the properties you need it to have. Royale Sonic Gold 5mm Comfort Underlay for Laminate or Wood Flooring 15m2: The best good-value laminate underlayThe key to a successful ‘ gold underlay’ installation is to make sure the gold foil is facing the right way. The gold side needs to face the subfloor, as any moisture rising from the subfloor won't enter the underlay OR your flooring. So to reiterate, to create an effective moisture barrier and stop damp from getting into the polyethene (PE) foam, it must be laid gold-side down.
