Underlays for floorheating

Carpet underlay

Traditionally, insulating the floor has been one of the functions that an underlay is expected to fulfil. However, the opposite is required – namely the lowest possible insulation value – when underfloor heating is installed. In order to guarantee comfort, most underlays contain a lot of air which is a natural insulator. Therefore, when choosing an underlay, it makes sense to choose a compact underlay with the lowest possible resistance value (R value).

Underlay for parquet/laminate and PVC floors

Compactness is also very important when choosing an underlay to be used in conjunction with a parquet/laminate or PVC floor, but the same applicability values apply here too. Estillon offers a variety of suitable underlays for carpet as well as parquet/laminate and PVC floors which guarantee optimum heat transfer. The table below provides a clear overview of the various options.
