Tuplex Underlay
Tuplex is a new generation underlay for wood flooring. It can be used underneath laminate
floors as well as veneered and all engineered hardwood and coniferous floating floors.
It is a versatile product that meets all the requirements associated with installing and
using a hard floor. Tuplex comprises two layers of solid polyethene with flexible polystyrene
granules sandwiched between them.
• Good smoothing / levelling properties
• Dual moisture barrier (No separate DPM req.)
• Ideal for radiant heated floors
• Minimal compressibility
• Easy installation
• Good ventilation
• Endorsed by leading wood floor manufacturers
Levels The Subfloor
Tuplex's flexible construction helps to smooth minor irregularities of the sub floor and
provides an ideal base for a floating hard floor.
Ventilation
Tuplex's granular beaded construction creates space between the floorboards and the
sub floor, allowing for efficient ventilation.
Moisture Barrier
The two-ply polyethen film in Tuplex provides a highly effective, double moisture barrier, so
no separate moisture barrier is required. A test report is available from the manufacturer.
Sound Resistance
Tuplex meets the latest requirements for impact sound insulation. Because of its high
flexibility and excellent ability to recover from impact, its sound insulating properties never
wear out. A test report about compressibility is available from the manufacturer.
Sound Insulation
Tuplex underlay, combined with any commonly used intermediate floor construction, meets
the requirements pertaining to impact sound insulation in intermediate floors. A test report
is available from the manufacturer.
Installation
Laying the floating floor is one of the last operations in interior decoration. At this point
most of the decoration has been finished and must be protected from dirt and abrasion.
Tuplex is a lightweight, clean material that is easy to handle and install.
