Rated 5 out of 5 by from Foam underlay Acoustalay Perfect for the job, but why it has to be orange and not brown or black? Easy to handle and it gave a good cushioning to the floor.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent for luxury vinyl flo After reading another review of this product on screwfix's website I was a bit hesitant in purchasing.... turns out it could simply not be any better for LVT click flooring systems. On the packaging of this underlay it specially says it is designed for Luxury vinyl. It's designed for heavy loading and joint protection... which is absolutely necessary as the downside to luxury vinyl are its weaker joints. Its ridiculously easy to cut and fit, I've just fitted 30sqm of the stuff and had to write a review as I feel it has been unfairly discriminated against!

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Warning - Don't use for LVT We bought this rather attractive orange underlay to use with our LVT flooring. Unfortunately having stuck it in place we discovered it isn't suitable for Vinyl Click Flooring despite Screwfix's website and the packaging stating it is. Acoustalay's website doesn't mention LVT either. Our fitters checked the tiles on other underlay and they are fine. If you are looking for LVT underlay then look elsewhere, unfortunately it is too late for us and we will be living with an orange floor for the next few weeks.

Review says it’s not suitable for laminate

The review on this product says it can’t be used for click laminate but doesn’t say why I’m about to buy it for this purpose and don’t want to proceed until I know it’s suitable. It does say in info on product it can be used but reviewer says no
Asked by: LisaH73
The reviewer talks about vinyl click, not laminate as far as I can see. I'm about to try it for laminate with my underfloor heating.

Suitability for vinyl click flooring

confused by various suppliers using different specs. acoustalay tech dept say it's suitable. Flooring manufacture(novocore) say specs arent high enough. Previous reviewer indicates problems... screwfix as the retailer your thoughts ???
Asked by: SeanhB
Hello Sean, Always follow the installation guidelines provided by the flooring manufacturer concerned as this can depend on the exact specification of the LVT provided and may require a specific underlay or specific properties to properly support it - in this case novocore are requesting a thinner and harder underlayment than ours is offering and it may effect your installation and warranty on the LVT if not followed. Not sure about the previous reviewers problem you mention as we have had no dialogue and it is always difficult to comment without seeing or understanding clearly the problem on installation - it is very important that the existing floor is flat which means deviations of less than 2mm over 2.5m.

Laying generally, joints

Hello is this intended to be loose laid or adhered to substrate ? Do you need to tape the joints ? ( i dont require vapour control performance ) Thanks
Asked by: HKB2
Yes the underlay is designed to be floated - so no need to fix to subfloor. You will find taping the joints will make installation much easier even if you do not require the vapour barrier properties.
