Underlay for laminate flooring?

[Deleted User] · 2017-11-29 20:34:25

I'm getting this 12mm Everest Oak Beige laminate flooring and I need to know what type and thickness of underlay I should be seeking for it. It's a concrete floor with a screed on it but no underfloor heating. Also, where's a good place price wise to buy underlay? Thanks a million.

Would 2mm thickness of this underlay be a good investment for the above floor?

Acoustic Orange Underlay

Yeah, it is much cheaper from this company. I can't see anything in that thread about whether this acoustic underlay - or acoustic underlay generally - would be worth paying the extra money for, or indeed if 2mm of this particular underlay would be sufficient for 12mm flooring above.

I have used 5mm fibreboard in the past as recommended by a lot of people in the industry. Available for around €22/pack from B&W or €12.50/pack from screwfix Ireland.
