Why use laminate underlay?
A laminate underlay is crucial for a stable, durable, and comfortable floor. It provides a smooth, level surface for easy installation while reducing noise and improving walking comfort. Underlays also enhance thermal insulation, making your home more energy-efficient, and protect against rising damp to extend your floor’s lifespan. Whether you need extra soundproofing, support for underfloor heating, or a solution for uneven subfloors, the right underlay ensures your laminate floor performs at its best for years to come.
How thick should your laminate underlay be?
Most laminate underlays are 2 mm thick, offering noise reduction, moisture protection, and compatibility with underfloor heating. For uneven subfloors or extra insulation, Thermolevel (5 mm) provides a smoother surface and improved warmth but is not suitable for underfloor heating. Choosing the right thickness depends on your needs—2 mm for all-round performance or 5 mm for leveling and added insulation.
How to install the laminate flooring underlay?
Before you install your Quick-Step laminate flooring, you have to install your underlay. The smooth surface of the underlay enables you to lay the planks with ease. Do you want to install the floor yourself? We recommend you start in the left corner of the longest wall in your house and put the planks in the same direction as the dominant light source.
