High-performance insulation underlay for vinyl and design floors
As an underlay for modern vinyl or design floors, SELITBLOC® 1.5 mm contributes to creating a noticeable improvement in the comfort of your home. This is achieved by its excellent sound insulation, especially in terms of impact sound. The pressure-stable foam core also does a good job in terms of protection against loads.
Developed for vinyl and design floors – high level of pressure resistance and resilience
Before installation, please note: The base must be tested according to CEN/TS 14472 before the floor is installed. Its properties must allow proper processing. In general, the base should be clean, level, dry, resistant to tension and compression and should not contain any substances such as plasticisers, solvents or other diffusing substances. Textile floor coverings must be removed before installation in principle. Installation on ceramic tiles, linoleum or wooden floors is only possible with restrictions as this may mark the base. It must be ensured that the base is in a state of equilibrium humidity and that the CM value is below 2.0% (for cement screed) or below 0.5% (for anhydrite screed and anhydrite flowing screed). The processing instructions of the flooring manufacturer are to be observed as binding specifications.
Cleaning the surface
Cleaning the surface
Step 1 Clean the surface thoroughly with a brush or vacuum cleaner. Remove any adhesive and paint residues completely.

Step 5
Lay the vinyl floor in the same orientation as the underlay. Do not place any weight on the underlay. If necessary, place the vinyl board under your knees/feet to distribute the load.
