The characteristics of the underlay to install laminate and wooden floorings in compliance with the UNI-CEN/TS 16354 standard A new European standard UNI CEN/TS 16354 was issued in January 2014. This standard concerns the characteristics of the materials to be installed under wooden and laminate floorings and sets out the test methods to determine the technical characteristics of the underlays and the basic efficiency requirements of the underlay-flooring system by means of performance indicators. Thus, this standard becomes an important reference point to choose the most suitable product...

The characteristics of the underlay to install laminate and wooden floorings in compliance with the UNI-CEN/TS 16354 standard Acoustic Performances IS: Impact Sound (transmitted sound) Sound insulation is assessed by means of laboratory test. This test consists of measuring the impact sound which is transmitted by a structure before and after inserting the underlay. The ΔLw indicator defines the variance between the two test phases. The higher is the ΔLw value, the better the acoustic insulation class (IS0 to IS2). RWS: Reflected Walking Sound Insulation (reflected sound) This indicator...

The characteristics of the underlay to install laminate and wooden floorings in compliance with the UNI-CEN/TS 16354 standard RLB: Resistance to Large Ball The acoustic insulation material used for the underlays should have characteristics such that the quality of the flooring can be maintained in case of large objects falling. The higher the distribution of the impact energy, calculated in mm, the better the large ball resistance class of the underlays. PC: Punctual Conformability This indicator defines the underlay capacity to absorb any small unevenness of the substrate. The...

The suitable underlay for laminate flooring Please refer to ePlF technical specifications (European Producers of Laminate Flooring) for laminate flooring underlay new requirements At the end of 2013, after a long process which has involved a number of European (CEN) and sector (EPLF) teams, the standards to set out the installation and the technical characteristics of wooden flooring underlays have been issued for the first time. EPLF took part in this project supporting the drawing of the aforementioned standard. To date EPLF standard has a great impact on the laminate flooring...

The installation of floating wooden flooring The installation of floating wooden and laminate flooring, if properly carried out by using underlays which have dedicated with outstanding technical characteristics, is the best solution to have flooring with high acoustic and mechanical performance.
