It is recommended that you always use underlay with any flooring installation. Both laminate flooring underlay and wood flooring underlay have a range of benefits to consider and can make a huge difference to the end result of your installation and lifespan of your flooring. Subject to the type you choose, laminate flooring underlay and engineered wood flooring underlay can help to even out your subfloor and provide a better laying surface, aid with soundproofing, make sure that you have no problems with water damage or heat escaping and provide cushioning underfoot.
Whether you need extra insulation to keep your house warm, soundproofing for areas of heavy footfall or a moisture barrier for damp areas of your home, you can find a wide range of laminate flooring underlay and wood flooring underlay in our collection to suit the needs of every room.

The thickness of the underlay you need will be determined by what floor you are putting down. Vinyl Click flooring will require our special LVT underlay, which is only 1.5mm thick. For laminate and engineered wood flooring, anything from our 2mm Platinum Plus to our 5mm Acoustic Gold will suit. It is also recommended that the underlay is not more than half the thickness of your new floor.
