Types of Underlayment for Laminate Floors

The type of underlayment you need will mainly vary according to the nature of the base that the laminate flooring is going to cover. If you have a concrete or mineral based sub-floor - a damp-proof membrane must be spread to act as barrier to moisture. Also, if the laminate floor is to be installed over an under-floor heating system, a damp proof membrane must be fitted. Other types of underlayment can then be added on top of the damp-proof membrane.

A foam underlay is often used to act as a leveler on a sub-floor with minor irregularities. Foam underlay is also effective for impact noise reduction. If you have need a damp proof membrane as well, you can purchase a special 'combination' underlayment, which is a foam that incorporates the damp proof membrane.

There is another ‘combination' underlay available, which combines the damp proof membrane with a sound insulator. The most common underlayment of laminate floors is simply known as ‘Board underlay’. This has all the properties required to reduce noise, make the laminate floor feel comfortable to walk on and provides a layer of insulation between the sub-floor and the laminate.
