Why is it important to choose the right floor mat?

Do you long for a new floor? When choosing a floor, you need to think about the type, material and properties, but also about the accessories and underlays you need for installation. And why is choosing the right pad so important?

The underlay under the floor prolongs the life of the floor


Floor durability depends on many factors, and the underlay is one of them. Properly selected floor mat can significantly extend its life. The floor will not be damaged so quickly and if the underlay also has a vapor barrier, it will protect the floor from moisture.

The floor mat muffles the sound
A correctly selected floor mat can dampen the sound that is generated when walking. It can also reduce echo, which occurs mainly in empty spaces.

The floor mat improves the feeling when walking


In addition to the sound, the feeling you have when walking on the floor will also improve. The pad compensates for slight unevenness and increases comfort when walking.

When choosing the right pad, focus on:

Floor material


Each underlay is different and fits under a different floor material. You will find special underlays for laminate and wooden floors, but also for vinyl. If you chose a mat under laminate, for example, and you were going to lay a vinyl floor, its purpose would be completely useless.

Mat hickness


The thickness of the washer is also very important. The thickness also depends on the floor material - under vinyl, pads with a different thickness are more suitable than in the case of laminate.

Underfloor heating


Do you have underfloor heating? Choose a floor mat that is specially designed for it. In our offer you will find, for example, a silver mat under the laminate floor or a gold mat under the laminate floor, and both of them get along perfectly with underfloor heating.

Vapor barrier


Some underlays for laminate and wooden floors are equipped with a vapor barrier. The vapor barrier has a protective function and can instantly limit the moisture.
