Premium Material & Long-Lasting Durability
⭐ This 2mm perforated IXPE underlayment with aluminum film is specially designed for quality-focused homeowners and professional construction teams.
Integrating advanced material technology and user-friendly features, it redefines the standards of flooring protection. Unlike regular underlayments, this product is made of high-purity cross-linked polyethylene (IXPE) via a precision foaming process, boasting a uniform honeycomb structure as well as excellent resilience and long-term compression resistance. Even under prolonged heavy loads—whether in furniture placement areas or high-traffic passageways—it can keep the flooring flat, intact and resistant to deformation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q
What is IXPE underlayment and how does it differ from standard PE foam underlayment?
IXPE (Irradiation Cross-Linked Polyethylene) underlayment is manufactured through a precision radiation foaming process that creates a uniform honeycomb cell structure. Compared to standard PE foam, IXPE offers superior resilience, better long-term compression resistance, and more consistent density — making it far more durable under prolonged heavy loads.
Q
What types of flooring is this 2mm IXPE underlayment compatible with?
This underlayment is suitable for a wide range of flooring types, including laminate, hardwood, and bamboo flooring. Its thin 2mm profile makes it ideal for installations where floor height clearance is a concern, while still providing effective cushioning and sound reduction.
Q
What is the purpose of the aluminum film and perforations (holes) in this underlayment?
The aluminum film layer provides enhanced thermal insulation (0.08w/mk) by reflecting heat, helping to maintain comfortable floor temperatures. The perforations (holes) allow moisture vapor to pass through, reducing the risk of moisture buildup between the subfloor and the flooring above — an essential feature for long-term flooring health.
Q
What are the IIC and STC ratings, and why do they matter?
IIC (Impact Insulation Class) measures how well a floor assembly reduces impact sound, such as footsteps. STC (Sound Transmission Class) measures how well it blocks airborne sound, like voices or music. This product achieves an IIC rating of 70dB and an STC rating of 68dB — both excellent scores that make it highly effective for noise reduction in residential and commercial settings.
Q
What packaging options are available and what are the container load quantities?
This underlayment is available in Nude, Pallet, or Carton packaging to suit different shipping and storage needs. For bulk orders, a standard 20GP container can hold approximately 12,000 sqm (129,000 sq.ft), while a 40HC container accommodates up to 27,000 sqm (290,000 sq.ft).
Q
Is this IXPE underlayment resistant to moisture and water absorption?
Yes. This underlayment has a water absorption rate of less than 0.1%, making it highly resistant to moisture. The closed-cell IXPE structure naturally repels water, preventing mold, mildew, and structural degradation over time — even in environments with moderate humidity levels.
