Product Description

Natural Sound Insulation Cork Underlayment for laminate flooring and wooden boards triple, is currently the best way of damping and vibration, mute the sound produced during walking, and to provide adequate thermal insulation. – Cork is a 100% natural – Resistant to moisture and water – It does not attract dust and dirt – It is resilient and flexible – Very good thermal and acoustic insulator – Do not pass gas – Completely harmless – Sound insulation 25 dB.
This Sound Insulation Cork Underlayment offers remarkable versatility in installation. It can be seamlessly installed beneath the vast majority of grouted, glued, and floating floors. This encompasses a wide range of flooring materials such as ceramic tile, stone, marble, brick, pavers, hardwood, engineered wood, laminate, parquet, LVT (Luxury Vinyl Tile), and carpet. However, it’s important to note that sheet vinyl is not an approved installation method when using this Cork Underlayment.

Material Characteristics

  1. Natural and Sustainable: Cork is a renewable resource as the bark of the cork oak can be harvested without harming the tree itself. This makes Sound Insulation Cork Underlayment an eco-friendly option that aligns with sustainable building practices. The harvesting process is carefully managed to ensure the long-term health and productivity of cork oak forests, allowing for continuous production of this valuable material.
  2. Exceptional Elasticity: One of the standout features of cork is its natural elasticity. It has the ability to compress and then return to its original shape, providing excellent shock absorption and cushioning properties. This makes it perfect for reducing impact noise, such as footsteps or the movement of furniture, creating a quieter and more comfortable living or working environment.
  3. Good Insulation Properties: Sound Insulation Cork Underlayment offers both thermal and acoustic insulation. It helps to keep interiors warmer in colder months by reducing heat loss through the floor, and at the same time, it effectively dampens sound, minimizing noise transmission between floors or rooms. This dual insulation capability contributes to energy efficiency and enhanced privacy within a building.
  4. Moisture Resistance: Cork has inherent moisture-resistant properties. It can absorb and release moisture slowly, which helps to maintain a stable humidity level in the room. This feature also makes it less prone to mold, mildew, or rot, ensuring its durability and hygiene over time, even in areas with relatively higher humidity levels.
  5. Durable and Long-Lasting: Despite its soft and flexible nature, cork underlayment is surprisingly durable. It can withstand regular wear and tear from foot traffic, furniture movement, and other daily activities. With proper installation and maintenance, it can serve for many years, providing consistent performance throughout its lifespan.

Product Specifications

  1. Thickness Options: Sound Insulation Cork Underlayment is available in a variety of thicknesses, typically ranging from 2mm to 6mm. The choice of thickness depends on the specific application and the level of cushioning or insulation required. For example, thicker underlayment may be preferred for areas with heavy foot traffic or where enhanced soundproofing is needed, while thinner options can be suitable for lighter use or when space is a constraint.
  2. Size and Format: It usually comes in rolls or sheets, which can be easily cut to fit the dimensions of the flooring area. The width of rolls can vary, but common widths are around 1 meter, allowing for efficient installation and minimal waste. Some products may also be available in pre-cut tiles for added convenience and flexibility in installation.
  3. Density: The density of Sound Insulation Cork Underlayment can differ among products, influencing its performance in terms of load-bearing capacity and insulation. Higher density cork offers better support and durability, while lower density options may provide more flexibility and softer cushioning. Manufacturers typically specify the density to help customers make an appropriate selection based on their specific needs.

Application Areas

  1. Residential Buildings
    • In apartments, villas, and other residential buildings, it is used in rooms requiring a quiet environment, such as bedrooms and studies, to reduce noise interference between upper and lower floors and enhance living comfort.
  2. Commercial Buildings
    • In offices, meeting rooms, and other places, it can effectively reduce the noise generated by people walking and office equipment, improving work efficiency. At the same time, in commercial places such as hotels and restaurants, it can also provide a quiet consumption environment for customers.
  3. Industrial Buildings
    • For industrial plants, machine rooms, laboratories, and other places that generate a large amount of noise and vibration, this floor underlay can prevent the impact of noise and vibration on the surrounding environment, ensuring compliance with relevant environmental regulations and standards.

Precautions

  1. Storage Conditions
    • It should be stored in a dry, well – ventilated, and cool environment, avoiding direct sunlight and high – temperature and high – humidity environments to prevent material aging and performance degradation.
  2. Construction Environment
    • The construction should be carried out under suitable temperature and humidity conditions, avoiding construction in extreme weather conditions, such as cold winters or hot summers, to avoid affecting the adhesion and laying effect of the underlay.
  3. Avoid Sharp Objects
    • During use and installation, avoid sharp objects from scratching or puncturing the underlay. In case of damage, timely repair or replacement should be carried out to ensure that its acoustic and vibration – isolation effects are not affected.
