Product information: XPS laminate underlay

An underlayment made from extruded polystyrene (XPS) is a great choice for different types of floating floors, such as laminate and three-layer wood panels. Its purpose is to enhance the floor’s longevity and make it more comfortable for users. These foam underlays are engineered to handle heavy loads and can compensate for any imperfections on the surface underneath. Moreover, they function as a protective barrier against mould, minimise the transfer of noise, and offer outstanding insulation properties.

For those considering underfloor heating, this XPS Foam Underlay is perfectly compatible, allowing heat to transfer efficiently while still providing vital insulation below. Furthermore, its inherent moisture resistance means it acts as a reliable protective barrier, especially important in areas where a damp proof membrane is essential. It’s built to resist biological decay, safeguarding against mould and ensuring a healthy environment underfoot.

Easy to Work With, Built to Last

The XPS Foam Underlay is celebrated for its ease of installation. It’s simple to cut and position, making your new underlay project straightforward, even for DIY enthusiasts. The consistent 3mm thickness ensures uniform support across your entire subfloor.
