In addition to this, Flooring Underlays can help to reduce noise. This doesn’t mean that you suddenly won’t be able to hear another person when having a conversation with them. It is instead intended to reduce the noise created from footsteps or other impact sounds. This is because the material used (rubber) is very dense and has good elasticity which absorbs sound and instead converts it into energy; oftentimes, heat energy.
Finally, Flooring Underlays can be a great protective layer for the flooring itself. Over time, due to heavy foot traffic, flooring can wear down and become damaged. Yet with flooring underlays, they help to make the flooring more secure by keeping it in place. They also act as a shock absorber to any potential damage.
