For use as a cushioning and sound deadening layer below laminate and wood flooring

Description

Floorfoam is a closed cell extruded polyethylene foam available in roll form. The closed cell nature and flexibility of Floorfoam make it excellent at cushioning vibrations under laminate and hardwood floating floors.

Solutions in 2mm and 5mm are offered with enhanced acoustic and damp proofing properties available in the 5mm.

Application

Floorfoam Laminate underlay 2mm is used in conjunction with a polythene damp proofing layer on concrete floors and is loose laid below a laminate or hardwood floor finish.

Floorfoam Laminate underlay 5mm is a higher performance and highly moisture resistant solution. This can be used without the need for a separate damp proof membrane (dpm), with joints taped. Again, this supports a laminate or hardwood floor finish, providing superior acoustic and thermal performance.

Standards

Floorfoam Laminate underlay is manufactured in accordance with BSI Quality Assurance Standard BS EN ISO 9001: 2000 and has been tested acoustically to BS EN ISO 140-8:1998.

• Excellent acoustic performance

Environmental

Floorfoam Laminate underlay is free from CFCs, HCFCs and any other material with ozone depletion potential in its manufacture and content and represents no known threat to the environment. Floorfoam Laminate underlay is non bio-degradable.

Handling and Storage

Floorfoam Laminate underlay is easy to handle and non-irritant, no special protective clothing is required when installing it.

Floorfoam Laminate underlay is supplied in rolls in polythene packs.

Ensure the rolls are not stored close to open flame or other ignition source, also avoid volatile compounds and chemicals such as solvents.
