Underlay for laminate flooring.

McKneff

Doing a spare bedroom with laminate flooring, taken from our lounge where we have a new floor. Very MSE:D
The best deal i have found is Wickes at 2 for £40 but am I right in thinking that 3cm is correct, they do sell 2cm and 5cm boards but i thought the one in the middle would be okay. Am i on the right track

As this has fallen from the front page without any responses, I'll move it to the In My Home Board to see if you get more replies

I think you are getting your cm and mm mixed up.

To be honest I would have thought the 2mm underlay would be fine for a bedroom as long as the floor you are laying it on is smooth, so 3mm is good,


<edit> if its an upstairs bedroom you don't really need to worry about getting one with a moisture barrier either.

Thanks Martin, yes, I think I probably am getting them mixed up, I presume then I mean mm not cm.
(I'm of an age when I learned in feet and inches so this foreign stuff is a bit of a challenge to me:D, I do try, really I do.

It is floorboards in the bedroom and a bit rough as far as I can see so would prbably go for the 3mm.

Thanks very much for your time.
