Underlay

Before laying any type of flooring, underlay goes first. Underlay creates a soft, even layer under the flooring, adding comfort, insulation and noise reduction. Some may differentiate between carpet underlay, laminate underlay and LVT underlay: the basic principle is the same. Order acoustic underlay for noise reduction in your home or commercial space, or heat underlay for use with underfloor heating.

We stock Quickstep underlay for carpets, laminate flooring and vinyl at My Flooring Centre in Harborne, Birmingham. This layer is easy to install with adhesive or tacks, whether you’re laying it on concrete subfloor, wood floorboards or existing tile. A popular choice for laminate and wood is Quickstep thermolevel underlay which folds out and clicks into place to create an even surface and added insulation.
