Underlay

At Floor N Décor we supply varieties of flooring underlay to suit your flooring projects either for new house or renovation, and you will find the right products for your purpose.

Recently we have introduced a new type of underlay in addition to our traditional underlay like 3mm Rubber underlay, Acoustic EVA 3mm, 5mm and 6mm with Delta rating about 22 dB, and standard 2mm or 3mm PE Foam with foil moisture barrier etc.

Platon Stop is a cushioning underlay and vapour barrier for use under floating timber floors such as laminate, bamboo or engineered wood flooring.

Platon Stop has been specifically developed for floating timber floors as an effective barrier to moisture. It provides protection from moisture issues which may occur in existing slabs and also supports the natural drying process of newly poured slabs allowing fast track installation of new flooring.

Platon Stop also provides a soft, comfortable walking experience and reduces impact noise transmission by up to 19 dB (ISO 717-2)
