Underlay Range for floating/laminate floor

1. Premium Combi-Lay
Premium Combi-Lay is a good quality, medium density polyolefin underlay for all floating floor applications. It incorporates a continuous clear damp-proof with 100 mm overlap and integrated ?peel and stick?. The inclusion of a continuous damp proof is a requirement under most floating floor installations. With Premium combi-lay, the need for additional damp proof layers is almost always avoided*, making installations quicker and more cost effective.

Premium Combi-Lay combines the right balance of compression, slip and damp proof characteristics into one affordable package.

Premium Combi-Lay Benefits:
  • Easy to handle - 2 mm thick x 1 m wide
  • Continuous damp proofing in one application*.
  • Integrated Peel and Stick Strip
  • Lay flat polymers for easy installation
  • Will not hold water, and will not mildew
  • Compatible with standards trims
  • Low cost
  • L'nw + C1 = 51. This is a site specific test result and complies with Building Codes of Australia (BCA) multi-story requirements (1st May 2004). Test Report available upon request.
 
Specification:
  • Thickness supplied: 2 mm
  • Water vapour transmission rate: 4.62 g/m2.24hr
  • Water absorption: 0.007 mg/cm2
  • Compr. Strength at 25 % compression: 30 kPa
 
2. Premium Quiet-Step Combi-Lay
Quiet-Step Combi-Lay is a superior underlay, where reduced foot noise and sound reduction in multi-story buildings are required. It is made of high density polyolefin copolymer resin which effectively reduces the hollow and often ?clunky? foot noise associated with floating floors. Quiet-Step Combi-Lay addresses this key negative of floating floor installations, while performing all the tasks of a superior quality underlay including a continuous damp proof*.
 
Quiet-Step is the first floating floor underlay in Australia to take foot noise seriously. Independent University tests show a 30 % or more reduction in foot noise for the user, while the underlay has achieved an excellent L'nw + C1 = 49.
 
The integrated damp proof removes the need for additional damp proof layers in most instances*, while the products strength and lay flat characteristics make it a pleasure to install.
 
Quiet-Step Combi-Lay Benefits
  • 30% reduction in foot noise compared to normal underlay
  • Easy to handle
  • Continuous damp proofing in one application*
  • Integrated Peel and Stick Strip
  • Lay flat polymers for easy installation
  • Super tough tear resistance to tools and boots
  • Will not hold water, and will not mildew
  • Compatible with standard trims
  • L'nw + C1 = 49. This is a site specific test result and complies with BCA multi-story requirements. Test report available upon request.

Specification:

  • Reflected Foot Noise: Reduction 30 %
  • Field Impact Insulation Class: ISO 717/2 60
  • Thickness supplied: ISO 1923 2 mm
  • Water vapour trans. Rate: ASTM E96 1.7 g/m2.24hr
  • Water absorption 28 days: JIS 6767 0.03 mg/cm2
  • Compr. Creep (Thickenss loss): 8 hrs 0.1 %
  • 23 C, at 20 kPa load: 408 hrs 0.6 %; 10,000hrs 2.0 %
  • Compr. Strength (25%Comp): ISO 844 70 kPa
 
*Both Premium and Quiet-Step Combi-Lay are available without damp proof for those applications where 200 um plastic is to be used or where a damp proof is not deemed necessary. Always seek manufacturer's guidelines. Premium Floors recommends continuous damp proof for all floating floor installations over concrete and wood floors directly above ground. Continuous damp proofing requires taping of roll end joints. Heated floors and knowingly or logically wet floors require separate 200 um plastic barrier with 300 mm overlap and turn up at walls.

Regupol - Impact Sound Acoustic Underlay Range
Versatile resilient underlay for every floor covering
With the ever increasing demand for hard floor surfaces such as parquetry, strip timber, ceramics, marble, stone and granite comes the need to provide sufficient impact sound isolation.
 
For this reason there is impact sound insulation by Regupol which is far more effective than demanded by the standard. To preserve serenity and peace in sensitive areas, impact noise must be controlled to suitable levels.
 
The most common impact sound problem is footfall noise transferring from floor to floor in all types of buildings. Regupol impact sound insulation is easy to install, has a low system height (2-6 mm) and is durably resistant. It does not matter which final surface comes on top of sound insulation underlay. Surface noise in the frequency range between 500 and 2,000 Hz is reduced by 25 %.
 
Advantages:
  • Easy to install, easy to cut
  • Low system height
  • Very comfortable to walk on
  • Resistant to chair castors as per DIN 68131
  • Suitable for underlay heating
  • Thermal insulation properties
  • Permanently elastic
  • Ageing resistant
  • Practical roll sizes
  • Very low emissions
  • Permeable to water vapour, permeable to air
  • Completely recyclable
  • Cleaning-resistant: textile floor coverings can be subject to through cleaning
  • Also suitable as non-slip underlay for loose carpets
  • Exceeds the current standards in terms of impact sound insulation
 
There is a different range of products with different thickness in impact sound insulation, for more information contact our showroom.
