Why is an underfloor needed when installing a vinyl floor?

When installing the Floorify rigid vinyl floor, you must use a high-quality underfloor. There are two types of Floorify underlay, namely the Floorify Comfort and Performance underlay.

An underfloor has a number of roles:

Reduction of reflection sound

The Performance underlay is the best choice for reducing noise within the room itself. Contact noise is maximally dampened, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like hallways, living rooms, or kitchens.

Underfloor heating and cooling

Thanks to its ultra-low thermal resistance (0.009m2K/W!), heat can easily pass through the floor. The result? Your underfloor heating or cooling system operates at peak efficiency, saving you energy!

Intensive use

Performance is slightly firmer, which maximizes support for your floor’s click connections. Perfect for commercial spaces with intensive use, such as restaurants, shops, or offices.

Perfect support for the click connection

Performance is the ideal match for Floorify Herringbone and Twist floors. Its firmer structure provides maximum support for the many click connections.

Reduction of transmission noise

Thanks to its resilient properties, the Comfort underlay maximally reduces transmission noise (∆Lw 21dB or ∆Llin 10dB sound reduction!). For upper floors or apartments, this additional acoustic insulation to the rooms below is undoubtedly a big plus.
