Cork Underlayment

  • Why cork underlayment?
 

AcoustiCORK R60 cork underlayment is a wonderful eco-friendly underlayment option that helps to add warmth underfoot as well as sound reduction properties. Popular for use in condos and commercial properties, cork is naturally mold and mildew resistant and allows air to flow freely through the floor system.

Do I REALLY need underlay?

  • Yes, most definitely.
 

Underlayment is an amazing invention created by the flooring gods out of necessity. Underlay has an impressive list of benefits, including: adding warmth to your floors so your feet aren’t so cold on new tile flooring, adding comfort and a slight ‘give’ underneath wood or vinyl floors, reduced sound transmission (great for houses with noisy teenagers!), as well as reducing in room step noise. The image to the left is a very simplified example of using underlayment versus not using it, but as you can see the benefits greatly outweigh any reason not to.

Making your house a home

  • Products that work together
 

Cork underlayment is popular for use underneath of ceramic and porcelain tile flooring, hardwood floors, vinyl floors, and laminate floating floors. Cork underlayments is really quite versatile and can be used underneath all floor types.

Thickness

  • What does it mean?
 

Underlayment with a thickness of up to 5mm thick are great when it comes to residential or commercial use, with all flooring types. When you get to more than 5mm thick, these are really great for installations where you need to add thickness to match up with an adjoining/existing floor surface.

IIC / STC Ratings

  • What do they mean?
 

IIC stands for Impact Insulation Class, which refers to impact sounds such as shoes hitting the ground, dropping a cell phone, or other scenarios where something it dropped or impacts the floor. STC stands for Sound Transmission Class, which refers to any audible noise (not an impact) such as music playing aloud, a conversation, or a loud television, for example. With both of these ratings systems, the higher the number rating is for the underlayment, the better it will suppress sound, and the quieter a room will be. You may want to pay close attention to these ratings when shopping for underlayment if sound reduction is important to you.

Do you make an underlayment that insulates to keep the cold from coming through the floor
Anonymous
Our AcoustiCORK R60 Underlayment does help to insulate your floor from cold air coming up from your subfloor. The R value, or insulating factor, for this product is 3.125.
We have a condo with concrete floors between the units and we keep our condo rather cold (68 degrees) and the lady below keeps hers rather warm causing her ceiling to get soggy and her paint bubbles. can this product help? can we put 2-3 layers down?
Ron
Underlayment can help with some heat transmission, however, this sounds like there may be other underlying issues happening. We recommend contacting your condo association to discuss this issue.
What is the main difference between 6mm Eco-cork and Acoutic cork R60?
david e barber
6mm Eco-Cork Sheet comes in sheet sizing, at 24" x 36", one order equals 25 tiles. AcoustiCORK R60 is a rolled underlayment that is available in 2 sizes. Both would need to be adhered with a urethane adhesive and a vapor barrier would need to be added as well. We do not have sound test ratings for the 6mm Eco-Cork Sheet Underlayment.
Can the AcoustiCork R60 product be used under carpet if I'm looking to reduce sound transmission between floors or do you have a different product you'd recommend for undercarpet applications. This is for a residential wood subfloor application.
Anthony
For broadloom carpet rolls, foam pad is the recommended underlayment.
Does it need to be glued even if you have a wood subfloor? I want the best sound muffler.
jim
You don't have to glue our AcoustiCORK R60 Underlayment. Depending on the type of floor will determine the type of installation recommended.
