Premium Material & Long-Lasting Durability
Advanced IXPE Technology — Redefining Flooring Protection Standards
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 is it different from regular foam underlayment?
IXPE (Irradiation Cross-Linked Polyethylene) underlayment is produced through a precision foaming and cross-linking process, resulting in a uniform honeycomb cell structure. Unlike standard PE foam, IXPE offers superior resilience, long-term compression resistance, and more stable thermal and acoustic performance, making it ideal for high-traffic and heavy-load flooring applications.
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 particularly well-suited for floating floor installations where height tolerance is a concern.
Q
What do the IIC and STC ratings mean for this product?
The IIC (Impact Insulation Class) rating of 70db measures the underlayment's ability to reduce impact noise such as footsteps, while the STC (Sound Transmission Class) rating of 68db indicates its effectiveness at blocking airborne sound. Both ratings reflect excellent acoustic performance, making this product a strong choice for multi-story buildings and noise-sensitive environments.
Q
What is the purpose of the aluminum film and perforations in this underlayment?
The aluminum film layer adds a reflective thermal barrier, helping to improve energy efficiency by reducing heat loss through the floor. The perforations (holes) allow moisture vapor to pass through and escape, preventing moisture buildup beneath the flooring and reducing the risk of mold or warping over time.
Q
What are the available roll sizes and how much can fit in a shipping container?
This underlayment is available in rolls of 100 sq.ft and 200 sq.ft. For bulk shipping, 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 it highly efficient for large-scale commercial and wholesale orders.
Q
Is this underlayment resistant to moisture and water absorption?
Yes. This IXPE underlayment has an extremely low water absorption rate of less than 0.1%, meaning it effectively resists moisture penetration. Combined with its closed-cell foam structure and aluminum film layer, it provides reliable moisture protection for the subfloor and flooring above, even in areas with moderate humidity.
