Foil-backed underlay is the most efficient solution for installing parquet and wooden floors. This product acts as a double insulating layer; the foam provides flexibility and shock absorption, while the aluminum foil plays a vital role in insulating against moisture and heat, which protects the floors from damage and extends their lifespan.
Key Features:
-
Moisture Insulation: The foil layer acts as an effective barrier, preventing moisture from concrete floors from reaching the parquet wood, thus preventing swelling or mold.
-
Thermal Insulation: Helps maintain room temperature by reflecting heat, making it ideal for use with underfloor heating systems.
-
Sound Absorption: Significantly reduces footsteps noise and sound transmission between floors, providing a quiet and comfortable environment.
-
Floor Imperfection Treatment: Thanks to the foam's flexibility, the underlay helps cover minor bumps and imperfections in the subfloor to provide a perfectly level surface.
-
Easy Installation: Comes in easy-to-unroll and cut rolls, speeding up the work process and reducing waste.
