Underlay

An underlay is a covering of material placed between the floor and the floor. It keeps the floor clean and stable, covers minor irregularities in the subfloor, and may provide insulation against sound and heat transfer. The underneath is an extremely thin layer of high-density foam that protects the flooring for a lifetime. It is laid between the flooring and the flooring in order to provide a sound barrier while also protecting the hardwoods from mildew, mold, and moisture.

Before placing floor tiles, you must first install the tile underlay. Underlay is easy to handle and install, providing a flat, resilient, and smooth surface. It also prevents moisture and mold and does not expand when wet, making it excellent for bathrooms, laundry rooms, and other damp places.

Wool is especially helpful for insulation, as a thicker underlay is more pleasant underfoot. It is critical to select a high-quality rubber underlay because it frequently contains air pockets. The deeper the underlay, the more durable the carpet will be.

Some underlays have a protection layer underneath them to prevent dampness from penetrating the subfloor and causing damage to the floors above. Basements and toilets, in particular, ought to have such coverings because they are constantly humid.
