42 The complete system counts: Underlay for high-quality flooring Without a good underlay, it’s not a good floor: the underlay material has a significant influence on the durability of the flooring and is an important component of how the entire system functions as far as day-to-day wear is concerned. Premium-quality flooring may suffer damage when laid on poor-quality underlay. High quality underlay ensures long enjoyment of your flooring – by preventing damage to the click connections with ideal pressure stability, for example – excessively soft underlay can have a significantly negative effect on fold-down connections. When choosing an underlay material, both the sub-flooring and the flooring to be installed are important. Whether your sub-flooring is concrete, wooden floorboards, prefabricated screed or existing flooring such as tiles or stone, with a comprehensive underlay range, MEISTER ensures that every MEISTER floor can be laid on your sub-flooring.
