Wooden flooring - which underlay?

pickup01

I'm about to lay a solid tongue&groove wooden floor over existing quarry tiles and wonder which type of underlay to use. The room is on the ground floor of the house. Can anyone help?

if your floor boards r good then get heavy duty underlay, thier r so many kinds to choose, we just bought rustic oak engineered wooden flooring with all the heavy duty underlay etc, £1625 all together to cover a whole flat.

its best to buy the best because it will last u for years, the heavy duty underlay will reduce noise impact. Thats the main kind of underlay l think you should get.

when u lay your flooring make sure you leave about a 10mm gap between the skirting and floorboards because the flooring expands in time. Thats why you can use beading to put on top of this tiny gap against your skirting boards.
