The best underlays for LVT flooring

Perhaps one of the biggest appeals to luxury vinyl tiles is that they simply click into place, requiring no gluing or sticking. However, over time, the tiles could move.

Investing in LVT underlay – and ensuring it’s fitted correctly – will prevent any unwanted movement, holding the tiles securely in place.

Underlays for LVT have excellent acoustic properties. Made from high-density foam, they effectively absorb impact sound, which is great if you live in an apartment or flat and want to keep disturbances to a minimum.

With LVT flooring underlay, you essentially add an extra layer between the tiles and subfloor. This not only provides more cushioning but helps to retain heat – giving your room a cosier feel.

The best underlay for LVT will also provide moisture protection. This will reduce the risk of moisture accumulating beneath the tiles and causing them to lift, curl or crack.

Do I need LVT underlay?

Vinyl floors typically have a base layer that’s exceptionally durable and comfortable to walk on, meaning they don’t require an underlay. However, click system vinyl flooring (LVT) will need an underlay of some sort.

It’s worth noting that LVT underlay has a number of beneficial properties that make it a worthwhile investment. For example, it can reduce impact and airborne noise, withstand heavy footfall, and improve how your floor looks, feels, and wears.

LVT underlay will help to increase the longevity of the flooring itself, too, helping you to save money on expensive repairs and upgrades.

Is LVT underlay easy to install?

Although the installation instructions may differ slightly depending on the product you choose, LVT underlay is straightforward to fit beneath vinyl floors.

For the most part, you’ll simply lay the underlay flat on top of the subfloor, and use Barrier Pro X tape to join the seams to prevent any unwanted movement and moisture.

If you’re unsure how LVT underlay should be installed, or you need an expert opinion, don’t hesitate to contact the team at British Flooring.

We’re always on hand to help and will be more than happy to guide and advise you, ensuring you not only choose the most suitable underlayment for your vinyl click system, but that you also install it correctly.
