How the right underlays brought peace and comfort to our office
At Estillon, we know better than anyone how important a quality underlay is. But what happens when you're the one making the decision? Recently, we completely renovated our own office. The question we asked ourselves: how do you create a calm, comfortable working environment where people truly enjoy working? The answer – as expected – lay in choosing the right underlay. In this blog, we share the decisions we made to create an inspiring workspace with attention to detail, tranquillity, and acoustics. And why they work so well in practice.
From Workplace to Work Experience
A good office goes beyond desks and meeting rooms. It should inspire, support, and feel comfortable. That’s why we chose a clever layout with open workspaces, collaborative zones and… quiet areas. It’s precisely in those quiet zones where calm and focus come together – and where the floor plays a silent leading role.
Black Magic Rubber Underlay
The power beneath carpet
Beneath the carpet in the quiet areas and meeting rooms lies Black magic, our heavy rubber carpet underlay.
Why this choice?
- Provides a stable, durable foundation
- Offers tangible luxury and walking comfort
- Significantly improves acoustics
The impact on contact noise is immediately noticeable: conversations in adjacent spaces are barely audible. This creates a calm atmosphere in which colleagues can concentrate better – exactly what you'd expect from a quiet zone.
Floorfixx Comfort
The smart underlay for LVT
In our open-plan workspaces, underneath the LVT lies our Floorfixx Comfort underlay system.
Why this choice?
- Fast installation thanks to the practical click system
- Levels and insulates in a single step
- Low thermal resistance: perfect for underfloor heating
Thanks to the user-friendly system, the floor was installed quickly. And with its low thermal resistance, the underfloor heating works optimally, contributing to both comfort and energy efficiency in our workspace.
A Floor That Works
For us and our clients
The renovation didn’t just result in a beautiful office; it also gave us daily confirmation of what a good underlay can do. Comfort, tranquillity, acoustics and durability – it all starts from the ground up. Literally.
Conclusion
When renovating our office, we wanted to demonstrate what we stand for as underlay specialists. With Black Magic and Floorfixx Comfort, we opted for proven solutions that contribute to workplace wellbeing and performance. Every day we’re reminded of how vital the right underlay really is.
