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 stands for cross-linked polyethylene. Unlike standard PE foam, IXPE undergoes a precision foaming and cross-linking process that creates a uniform honeycomb cell structure. This gives it superior resilience, better compression resistance over time, and more consistent thermal and acoustic performance compared to regular PE foam underlayments.
Q
What does the aluminum film layer on this underlayment do?
The aluminum film acts as a reflective thermal barrier, helping to reduce heat loss through the floor. It also provides an additional moisture-resistant layer, protecting the flooring above from humidity and condensation rising from the subfloor.
Q
What types of flooring is this 2mm IXPE underlayment compatible with?
This underlayment is suitable for laminate, hardwood, and bamboo flooring installations. Its 2mm thickness and stable density make it a versatile choice for both floating floor systems and glue-down applications in residential and commercial settings.
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 noise such as footsteps — this product rates 70db. STC (Sound Transmission Class) measures airborne sound reduction, rated at 68db here. Higher ratings mean better sound insulation, making this underlayment a strong choice for multi-story buildings or noise-sensitive environments.
Q
What roll sizes are available and how much can fit in a shipping container?
The underlayment is available in 100 sq.ft and 200 sq.ft roll sizes. 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), making bulk orders highly efficient for large projects or distributors.
Q
Is this underlayment resistant to moisture and water absorption?
Yes. The water absorption rate is less than 0.1%, which is exceptionally low. Combined with the aluminum film layer, this product provides reliable moisture protection, making it suitable for installation over concrete subfloors or in areas prone to humidity such as basements and ground-floor rooms.
