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 is it different from regular foam underlayment?
IXPE stands for Irradiation Cross-Linked Polyethylene. Unlike standard EPE (expanded polyethylene) foam, IXPE is produced through a precision radiation cross-linking foaming process, resulting in a uniform honeycomb cell structure. This gives it superior resilience, better compression resistance, and longer service life compared to regular foam underlayments.
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 flooring, hardwood flooring, and bamboo flooring. Its thin 2mm profile makes it an ideal choice where minimal height increase is required while still providing sound and thermal insulation benefits.
Q
What do the IIC and STC ratings mean, and why are they important?
IIC (Impact Insulation Class) measures how well a floor assembly reduces impact sound, such as footsteps — this product achieves 70dB. STC (Sound Transmission Class) measures airborne sound reduction, such as voices or music — rated at 68dB. Higher ratings indicate better soundproofing performance, making this underlayment an excellent choice for multi-story homes and apartments.
Q
What is the purpose of the aluminum film and the perforations (holes) in this underlayment?
The aluminum film layer enhances thermal insulation by reflecting heat, helping to maintain a comfortable floor temperature. The perforations allow moisture vapor to pass through and escape, preventing moisture buildup between the underlayment and the subfloor, which helps protect the flooring from warping or mold growth.
Q
What packaging options and roll sizes are available for this product?
This 2mm IXPE underlayment is available in roll sizes of 100 sq.ft and 200 sq.ft. It can be shipped in nude (bare roll), pallet, or carton packaging to suit different shipping and storage requirements. For bulk orders, a 20GP container can hold up to 12,000 sqm and a 40HC container up to 27,000 sqm.
Q
Is this underlayment suitable for high-traffic and heavy-load areas?
Yes. Thanks to its cross-linked polyethylene structure and density of 33 kg/m³, this underlayment maintains excellent shape stability under prolonged heavy loads. Whether placed under heavy furniture or in high-traffic corridors, it resists permanent compression and keeps the flooring surface flat and stable over the long term.
