Hard surface underlay is used beneath laminate and engineered flooring to improve comfort, reduce noise, and support long term performance. In Victoria homes, it is commonly installed in condos, multi level spaces, and areas with shared walls where sound control matters.
Underlay plays an important role in how a floor feels and performs. Thickness, density, and moisture protection all affect sound reduction, stability, and durability once the floor is installed.
Understanding the flooring type and environment helps narrow down underlay options that support proper installation and everyday comfort.
