Why Underlay Matters

Underlay does more than just sit beneath your flooring. It absorbs impact noise between levels of a home, which matters if you are renovating an upstairs area in an apartment or townhouse with body corporate acoustic requirements. It also evens out minor imperfections in the subfloor, helping your finished floor sit flatter and reducing the risk of creaking or movement over time. In bathrooms and laundries, an appropriate underlay can add a degree of moisture resistance, protecting the subfloor from everyday dampness.

Choosing the Right Thickness and Type

Underlay thickness generally ranges from 2mm to 3mm in this range, with thicker options offering more cushioning and acoustic performance, while thinner underlay suits floors where height buildup needs to be kept to a minimum, such as against existing door frames or transitions to tiled areas. Foam underlay is a common, cost-effective choice for general use, while acoustic-rated underlay is worth considering for multi-level homes or apartments where noise transfer between floors is a concern.

Matching Underlay to Your Flooring

Not all underlay suits every flooring type. Laminate and hybrid flooring typically need a thin foam or acoustic underlay designed for floating floor installations, while solid timber or engineered oak flooring may require a different approach depending on whether it is glued or floated. Explore our range of laminate flooring to see which underlay pairing suits your chosen floor.

Frequently Asked Questions About Underlay

Most floating floor installations, such as laminate and hybrid flooring, require underlay as part of the installation. Glued-down or nailed timber floors may not need it in the same way, so it is worth checking the manufacturer's installation guidelines for your specific flooring.

Foam underlay provides basic cushioning and moisture resistance at a lower cost, while acoustic underlay is manufactured to reduce impact and airborne noise transfer between floors, which is often a requirement in apartments or multi-storey homes.

Not necessarily. Thicker underlay generally improves comfort and noise reduction, but it can also affect the overall floor height, which matters where your new floor needs to meet an existing tiled area or door frame at the same level.

Certain underlay products offer a degree of moisture resistance suited to areas with occasional dampness, but they are not a substitute for proper waterproofing in wet areas. Check the product specifications if moisture resistance is a priority for your installation.

Underlay is generally sold by roll size covering a set square meterage, so measuring your room's total floor area first will help you work out how many rolls to order, with a small allowance for cuts and wastage.
