Laminate underlay
The floor should serve us for many years, more and more often the warranty period for the entire floor system is a quarter of a century. However, every guarantee has its limitations. It is worth noting that the guarantee applies to the entire system - both the floor and the underlay. Underlayment for the panels is an important element of the new floor, which significantly affects its durability.

What should you do to ensure the durability of the floor and the certainty that the warranty conditions are met?
The floor must be installed on a stable and flat surface, the deviation of which must not exceed 2 mm by 200 cm in length. The substrate for laminate floors must be dry, clean and stable. The second thing to note is water sensitivity. Due to the specific structure, even brief contact of the panel core with water leads to irreversible damage. Can you fight it? Yes, these negative values, which the structure of laminate flooring entails, can be significantly reduced by using appropriate underlay with sound insulation. However, before we lay the underlay for laminate panels, we should take care of the subfloor.
