FAQs

Can I use this with high-temperature underfloor heating?

No, this underlay is specifically rated for low-temperature underfloor heating systems only.

Does this require a separate damp proof membrane?

No, the high-quality PE foam construction acts as a moisture-resistant barrier.

How much area does one roll cover?

Each roll covers 15 square meters (15m long by 1m wide).

Can I layer two sheets of underlay to make it thicker?

No, you should never double-layer underlay as this will cause the floor to become unstable and may damage the laminate locking mechanism.

Is this suitable for a concrete subfloor?

Yes, provided the concrete subfloor is dry and level, the moisture-resistant properties make it suitable for concrete.

Troubleshooting

Underlay feels uneven underfoot

The subfloor likely requires leveling compound or sanding before the underlay is laid; check for debris under the foam.

Noise persists after installation

Ensure that the laminate flooring has been installed with a proper expansion gap around the perimeter of the room to prevent sound bridging.

Underlay tearing during installation

Ensure the subfloor is free from sharp nails, staples, or rough concrete projections that could puncture the foam.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent acoustic insulation of 21dB
  • Moisture-resistant PE foam construction
  • Compatible with low-temp underfloor heating
  • Provides a stable, smooth foundation for laminate
  • Easy to roll out and install

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy-duty commercial flooring
  • Requires careful storage to prevent compression
  • Specifically optimized for laminate installation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your subfloor is clean, dry, and level. Roll the underlay out across the subfloor, trimming edges with a sharp utility knife to fit against the walls. Seal the seams between adjacent rolls using moisture-resistant adhesive tape to ensure a continuous moisture barrier.

Compatibility: This underlay is designed specifically for use with XtraStep laminate flooring systems. It is not intended for use with solid wood or luxury vinyl tile unless otherwise specified by the flooring manufacturer.

Care: Avoid dragging heavy furniture across the flooring during or after installation, as excessive point loads can compress the 3mm foam over time, potentially leading to loose joints in your laminate floor.
