Can I use another underlay than the one proposed by Quick-Step?
Yes, but be careful. Not all underlays are suited for vinyl floors. Any problems with your floor related to a non-Unilin underlay will void your warranty.
It levels your floor: the Quick-Step vinyl underlay helps prevent irregularities.
It reduces impact sound: without an underlay, Luxury Vinyl Tiles have a very low impact sound reduction capacity (for example, adding the basic underlay reduces impact sound by up to 16 dB).
It is perfectly smooth and therefore ideal for the Uniclic system.
It is perfectly suitable for use with underfloor heating or cooling.
It eliminates the creaking noise of small dust and other particles underneath the floor.
The density and thickness of Quick-Step underlays is optimised for Quick-Step Luxury Vinyl Tile floors. Using a different underlay may damage your floor and void your warranty. Check the warranty document that comes with your product for specific terms and conditions.
