Underlayment: Solutions for different types of final floor

Agglomerated cork underlayment for impact noise, and thermal insulation.

The use of a pre-attached underlayment as part of a flooring system acts like the traditional underlay, preventing the transmission of mechanical energy through the slab. A pre-attached underlayment on the reverse dulls impact noise and improves the laying characteristics of the flooring.

The use of underlayments with many types of flooring products can provide significant improvements in terms of sound insulation and reduction, as well as thermal and walking comfort.

Trittschallisolierung als Teil des Systems

Die Verwendung einer vorher angebrachten Unterlage als Teil eines Bodenaufbaus wirkt wie die herkömmliche Unterlage und verhindert die Übertragung mechanischer Energie durch die Platte. Eine vorher angebrachte Unterlage auf der Rückseite dämpft Trittschall und verbessert die Verlegeeigenschaften des Bodenbelags.

To guarantee the attributes and benefits that an underlayment provides the final floor, the application process must be taken into account and followed step by step. To start, pay attention to the type of flooring and underlayment that will be installed.

Top Layer, Inlay, Core Layer and Pre-Attached Underlayment

Sound Control Underlayments and the Flooring products installed contribute almost nothing to the STC rating of a flooring assembly. The mass of the structure is what contributes to the STC value. A 6” solid concrete slab, for example, has an STC rating of about 52. STC ratings in the 60’s or 70’s on Sound Control Under…
