Welcome to "Talkin' Flooring" with Clem from Online Flooring Store. In this informative video, Clem addresses one of the frequently asked questions: Does my floor need underlay? Join us as we delve into different types of flooring and their requirements for underlay.
🟠 Vinyl Flooring
Clem starts by discussing vinyl plank flooring, explaining when underlay is necessary, particularly in multi-residential applications to minimise noise transfer. He emphasises that for most scenarios, vinyl plank can be installed without an underlay, making it a convenient and hassle-free option.

🟠 Hybrid Flooring
Moving on to hybrid flooring, Clem clarifies that it comes with its own built-in underlay. Adding an additional underlay doesn't significantly improve sound attenuation and may even lead to joint issues over time. He highlights the importance of checking with the supplier and using a rigid underlay in multi-residential setups.

🟠 Laminate Flooring
When it comes to laminate, Clem explains that underlay is required. For laminate, he recommends closed-cell foam for better long-term durability and sound insulation. In residential applications, a light underlay suffices, but commercial installations may require rubber underlay for acoustic reasons.

🟠 Timber Flooring
Clem concludes by mentioning that direct-sticking timber flooring doesn't require underlay but emphasises the need for a moisture membrane as a base.
