Wood & Laminate Installation
Duralay wood & laminate underlays absorb floor irregularities, helping mask unevenness and minor blemishes found in many surfaces.
With just the right amount of give a Duralay underlay will protect against the overstraining of wood and laminate floors.
The built-in Vapourstop barrier of our Timbermate Excel and Silentfloor Gold underlays also help to protect against moisture.
Installation Method
- The subfloor must be level, sound, dry and free from dust, grease and other contaminants. Any loose floorboards must be nailed down and any protruding nails hammered down.
- The underlay should be laid foil side down (essential to ensure maximum resistance to moisture from the subfloor) allowing a 5cm excess of underlay to run up the perimeter wall. Each roll of underlay should be closely butted-up.
- Tape all joins with single sided waterproof tape and press firmly into place.
Once the flooring has been fully laid, trim the underlay to the top of the flooring, fit skirting or quadrant to finish.
