Many different underlay types are available and serve a variety of purposes; from underfloor levelling, to acoustics, to comfort. Though the purpose varies depending on the material used, most floor coverings require some type of underlay.
2MM EVA
This is mid-range underlay used for a quiet underfoot sound and feel. It has a gold foil barrier with 100mm overlap and tape system to join together. ($60 – 20m2 Roll)
3MM EVA
This is high-range underlay used for a quiet underfoot sound and feel. It has a gold foil barrier with 100mm overlap and tape system to join together. ($80 – 20m2 Roll)
Combi Lay Standard
Combi-Lay Standard is a good quality, medium density polyolefin underlay for all floating floor applications. It incorporates a continuous clear damp-proof with 100mm overlap and integrated “peel and stick”. The inclusion of a continuous damp proof is a requirement under most floating floor installations. With Combi-Lay, the need for additional damp proof layers is almost always avoided*, making installations quicker and more cost effective.
Quiet-Step – Quiet Step Combi-Lay
Quiet-Step Combi-Lay is a superior underlay, where reduced reflected foot noise and sound reduction in multi- story buildings are required. It is made of high density polyolefin copolymer resin which effectively reduces the hollow and often “clunky” foot noise associated with floating floors. Quiet-Step Combi-Lay addresses this key negative of floating floor installations, while performing all the tasks of a superior quality underlay including a continuous damp proof*.

To do so, use a tape measure to determine the room’s length and width. Then multiply the length by the width to get your square meters. For instance, if the room is 5 meters wide and 5 meters long, you will need enough flooring for 25m2, we recommend allowing a 7% wastage allowance on top of total areas. Total area with wastage allowance would be 26.75m2.
