Rated 5 out of 5

Dan Whiting – March 11, 2018

We were trying to determine whether the cork or rubber would be a better noise reducer. The “rubbery” smell that you worried about because I have a breathing problem. Rubber can give off a “rubbery” smell when it warms up (like direct sunlight). We have chosen to go cork flooring with 12mm cork underlay. The room became very quiet.

Product buying questions

What is 12mm cork underlayment best for?

12mm cork underlayment is an acoustic and thermal underlay for flooring projects where maximum impact sound control, thermal support, condos, apartments, studios, and demanding acoustic flooring projects matter under hardwood, laminate, vinyl, tile, or cork floors.

Should I choose 12mm cork underlayment for sound control?

Cork underlayment can help with impact sound and thermal comfort, but the right thickness depends on assembly, finished floor height, subfloor, building requirements, and the flooring manufacturer instructions.

Can 12mm cork underlayment go under hardwood, laminate, vinyl, tile, or cork?

Often yes, when the flooring manufacturer allows an underlay layer and the substrate, adhesive or floating-floor system, moisture limits, and finished height are confirmed before installation.

Should I order a 12mm cork underlayment sample first?

iCorkfloor recommends samples so buyers can compare thickness, density, finished height, feel, and project fit before ordering full underlayment boxes.
