Underlay & Floor Protection

Not with our hybrid floors. Every board comes with underlay already attached: 1.5mm on 6.5mm and 2mm on 9.5mm. Don't add foam underlay under it. Too soft a base can make a click floor bouncy and strain its joins.

Yes. Our laminate's installation guide asks for foam underlay under every laminate floor. Roll it out the same way as the boards, butt the joins together with no overlap, then tape them.

Our foam underlay is 2mm with a silver foil top, $40 for a 20 m² roll.

For laminate, yes. Lay plastic film over the concrete first, then the underlay. Overlap the joins and tape them. Run the film 10cm up the walls, and trim it once the floor is down.

For our hybrid floors, the attached underlay does the job on a dry slab. Some installers add film on a damp slab: have the slab tested first.

Our moisture barrier film is 200 micron, $100 for a 100 m² roll.

Measure the floor in square metres: multiply length by width. Divide by 20, the m² in one roll, and round up. A 45 m² floor needs 3 rolls.

Moisture barrier film comes in 100 m² rolls. Allow a little extra, as its joins overlap and it runs up the walls. Each product page works out the rolls for you.

It's a 2mm mat you lay over a finished floor while other work goes on, like painting, plastering or fitting a kitchen. It helps keep paint, dust and dropped tools off your new floor. When the work is done, you lift it up.

Our floor protection is 2mm, $66 for a 20 m² roll.

No. Underlay is for comfort and sound, not for levelling. Fix dips and bumps in the subfloor first: sand down high spots and fill low ones. Our subfloor guide shows how.

Yes, Australia-wide, on its own or with your floor. Delivery is worked out at checkout.
