Using foam as an underlayment for floors has many benefits.
- Firstly, foam helps to minimize noise and vibrations when walking on the floor. It also helps to protect the floors from external impacts such as moisture and impact.
- Finally, foam also helps to improve comfort when walking on the floors. Therefore, using foam as an underlayment for floors is very important to protect the floors and enhance the user experience.
- Before installing the floors have to check the ground surface: it must be dry and flat, the minimum curvature of the floor through a distance of 1m is not over 5mm.
- Using foam under the floors in oder to :
1 / Prevent the moisture breaks into the flooring from
2 / Balance the hardness of the ground surface
3 / Lessen the noise up to 70% while moving on the floors
Laminate flooring, plastic flooring using foam 1.7 - 2mm, Hardwood flooring using foam 3mm
There are 3 types of Foam commonly used to line the floor: Pe foam, silver-coated foam and rubber foam
I. white Pe foam: 2mm - 3mm
- White foam used as a lining material for public wood floors, the most common thickness is 2mm. The foam type usually has small waves on the roll surface.
- Foam foam 2mm: width 1m, length 150m, roll = 150m2
- The advantages of regular foam are low cost, cost-effective, moisture-proof, just enough water absorption, not superior to the other two types.
II. Pe Foam coated with silver 2mm -3mm
- Silver coated foam from the original material is white foam, coated with silver aluminum plating.
- Provides excellent resistance to moisture, water absorption, and heat insulation.
- Silver Foam 2mm: width 1m, length 150m, roll = 150m2 - As a good material, in the line of floor foam, the layer protects the floor from below
III. Foam rubber 2mm - 3mm
- Underlayment is the optimal accessory for underlayment: wooden floors, SPC flooring, lamniate flooring to create smoothness, reduce noise, compensate for uneven protrusions of the floor and prevent water vapor under the floor. reek.
- Latex foam has quality standards, is a green material and should be used safely
Rubber foam laminate flooring has many advantages, including:
1. Noise reduction: The rubber foam layer helps reduce noise when walking on wooden floors, creating a quieter space.
2. Increase the durability of wooden floors: The rubber foam layer helps protect wooden floors from abrasion and scratches, increasing the durability and longevity of the floor.
3. Easy to install: The rubber foam layer has the right thickness and elasticity, making it easy to install and cut to the size of the wooden floor.
4. Increase the feeling of softness: The rubber foam layer helps create a smooth and comfortable feeling when walking on wooden floors, especially when you stand for a long time or walk a lot.
5. Moisture-proof: The silver-coated foam layer is moisture-resistant, helping to protect wooden floors from mold and damage.
6. Heat insulation: The silver-coated foam layer has the ability to insulate, helping to keep the space underneath the wooden floor warmer in winter.
