Wood Fiber Flooring Underlayment, 6mm (1/4 Inch) Thickness - 90 Sq Ft, Natural Soundproofing Insulation, for Laminate, Vinyl, LVT, LVP, or Hardwood

Features

• Size: 6 millimeters (1/4 inch) thickness STEICO Underlayment, 90 square feet package, 15 sheets 2 feet x 3 feet
• Increased living comfort: Enjoy the superior sound control and acoustic improving properties of the natural fibers. US tested and certified after passing the strictest acoustic tests (6 concrete slab without ceiling assembly) which guarantees optimal sound proofing
• Enhances safety: Natural product made of pure wood fiber material without any glue additives. VOC, and other emissions free. The wood is certified per the guidelines of the PEFC. Made in EU using Binder-Lignin (Wood-Tar) at ISO Certified facilities
• Squeak-free floor: High compression strength protects the "click-lock" system of floors, ensures that the floor will not squeak, prevents "springy" effect when walking and increase floor longevity. Can be installed in multiple layers for leveling.
• Breathable material: Vapor Open technology prevents accumulation of moisture under the floor and allows air to circulate. Being a natural and porous material, it can absorb 20% of its weight in water and thus prevent a minor leak from spreading.

Description

Please see more of the product's features below. Enjoy quality floor protection designed by nature Experience easy, fast, DIY-friendly and comfortable installation. To cut unwanted material off, or to cut the material to overcome pipes or corners, there is no need for any complicated cutting tools. All the installer needs is a simple commonly available sharp object such as a nail, a knife, a ruler, a screwdriver, or any sharp object available in any home. Fibers are bound together by “Lignin”, which is a wood resin that is secreted in the process of milling wood and acts as a binding agent of the wood fibers; a natural glue. This substance is responsible for the durability and sturdiness of the boards. A very precise proportion of Lignin and fiber length is required to produce a high-quality product made from wood fibers. Only Pine and Spruce are suitable for this purpose. Quite and comfortable living It can be used as additional sound insulation for walls or ceilings (a 1/8" thickness is recommended) STEICO boards were evaluated on a 152 mm (6”) concrete slab without a drop ceiling or additional materials aside from the finished floor (please find specifications and test results in the downloadable section). The high density of the wood fiber natural insulation means that it is also very effective at reducing both airborne sound like talking, music, traffic noise, and impact sound such as footstep, moving furniture, rain noise through walls, floors, etc. Ability to hold pressure and not being "foamy", ensures that floor would not squeak at the joints. Underlayment should be solid and flexible rather than soft and elastic. It prevents "floating" and "springy" effect when walking, keeps the floors hard and sturdy under your feet. It also protects locks from breaking and extends the lifespan of your wood floor. Being somewhat flexible, but not soft, the Underlayment “coats” the bulges in the concrete on it’s bottom layer, remaining hard and sturdy on it’s top. Improve, speed and ease up your installation process. Implement solutions that work best for you. May be installed in two or more layers to raise up the level (if needed). Suitable for a wood and concrete subfloors, may be installed over tile (rigid and secured). STEICO underlayment is stored as multiple pallets stacked on top of each other and doesn't lose its thickness or shape over time. The boards have a compression strength of 21.32 PSI. Once installed under flooring planks on a rigid subfloor, they can withstand traffic and pressure. STEICO underlayment may be used in multiple layers. Thicknesses and different materials can be used for tailored solutions. Due to their fibrous structure, STEICO boards can be practical tools for smoothing minor flooring imperfections or height elevations. Great alternative for long drying and complicated "wet" leveling processes! Mix and match the height you need. Wood fibers, like natural hair and wool, are hollow inside, which allows the internal capillaries to conduct water and air through the fibers. This process is responsible for the incredible heat and sound insulating properties of wood fiber materials, as well as their Water Vapor Open feature. Wood is a "breathable material" that allows airflow to circulate and adapt to changing moisture levels in the air in the space where it is installed. It can retain moisture up to 20%- 25% of its mass. While this occurs, the fibrous material doesn't lose its thermo-physical properties and sound-insulating qualities. Wood fiber underlayment is not a moisture barrier and can be installed with a moisture barrier if needed. R-Value of STEICO underlayment per inch = 2. R-value for 1/8" thickness product is - 0.25, 1/4" thickness product - 0.5.
