Laminate Underlay for Kitchen (Read 3613 times)

nyck GDPR opt-out	Laminate Underlay for Kitchen May 5^th, 2008, 11:01am i'm buying Laminate flooring for the kitchen but was unsure about the type of underlay I've got a few of the Green Fibre boards left over but i thought if that gets wet at all it would break up.So i may be just the 2mm foam roll would be best? it's a new concrete floor so there should be know rising damp issues nyck

Expect to be looking to replace after a couple years.

It should be banned!!

I dont as a rule like laminate in a kitchen, However i fitted a product called elesgo super gloss. fitted it a couple of years ago in a kitchen dining room and it is still in great shape, this stuff doesnt even scratch when you score a key across the surface, a little more expensive than the usual tat but you get what you pay for

regards
