2025 Flooring Underlayment Buying Guide: Juzhi Teaches You to Avoid Three Common Mistakes

Flooring underlayment, often overlooked during renovations, is actually key to extending flooring lifespan and enhancing living experiences. As a high-tech enterprise with years of industry expertise, Changzhou Juzhi New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. has launched a scientific flooring underlayment buying guide based on market feedback and technical accumulation, helping consumers avoid common pitfalls and choose suitable products.

Mistake 1: Blindly Pursuing Thickness While Ignoring Core Performance

Many consumers believe thicker underlayment is better, but density and structure are the actual key factors. Juzhi's technical staff explain that a 1.5mm high-density IXPE underlayment offers far superior moisture-proof and sound-insulation effects compared to a 2.0mm low-density product. Its IXPE series products have a density of 33kg/m³, and EVA products maintain a stable density of 100-110kg/m³, achieving performance breakthroughs through scientific formulas rather than simply increasing thickness.

Mistake 2: Focusing Only on Price and Neglecting Environmental Protection and Health

Low-cost underlayment made from recycled materials may release harmful substances, affecting indoor air quality. All Juzhi products use new polyethylene raw materials: IXPE materials are odorless and VOC-free, while EVA products reduce odor emission through lamination technology, all complying with environmental standards. When purchasing, prioritize checking product test reports and pay attention to key indicators such as formaldehyde and VOCs.

Mistake 3: Overlooking Scene Adaptability and Installation Convenience

Underfloor heating households need products with high temperature resistance and good thermal conductivity, such as Juzhi's IXPE perforated aluminum film series with a thermal conductivity of 0.08w/mk, suitable for heating needs. For humid areas, focus on moisture-proof performance—Juzhi's products all have a water absorption rate below 0.1%, effectively blocking ground moisture. In addition, details like self-sealing systems and adhesive-backed designs greatly reduce installation difficulty and improve construction efficiency.

Juzhi New Materials reminds consumers to match products according to flooring types: cork or IXPE materials are suitable for solid wood flooring, while EVA or EPE cost-effective options work well for laminate flooring. All the company's products have passed IIC and STC acoustic certifications as well as environmental testing, ensuring quality from raw materials to production, and providing consumers with "easy-to-choose and reliable" flooring underlayment solutions.
