underlay for laminate best one to use

buckrogers

Any advice from people who have laided laminate flooring
I will be laying the laminate (10/12mm) directly onto a concrete floor.
Would this be suitable?

is it better to get a seperate dpm and then use a uderlay on top, so it gives more thickness under laminate?

Beware cheap underlay. Your floor may end up flexing and creaking if it is not properly supported.

best underlay to use would be treadaire excel gold/silver, usually around £30 for 15 sqm ....similar to the gold dumne underaly on the first website you feature.

IMO better to use the underlay with dpm built in.

As a previious post has indicated, best to get the underlay right in first place.

Use the one recommended by the maker of the flooring (if they do recommend any) for the type of floor below.
