Floor underlayment

UNDERLAYMENT

While the choice of your floating floor will be guided by taste, your choice of underlay is driven by necessity. Answering a few questions will help you select the best underlay. First, where will your floor be installed? An underlay in the basement will need insulating properties. On the main or second floor, you can use almost any type of underlay. The second question you must answer is: Does your building have an FIIC (Field Insulation Impact Class) acoustic standard? If so, you’ll need a Soluson W-350 underlay, a 505 underlay made of recycled rubber or a Comfort underlay (made of synthetic fibres). But in every situation, the most important question is, what are you looking for? The best price, the best quality or the best quality for your money? Plancher Sélect offers a choice of underlays, but you’ll have to answer this last question for yourself!
