EverQuiet Foam Underlay

Foam underlay, also known as foam padding or foam underlayment, is a type of cushioning material used in flooring installations. It serves several purposes and is commonly used underneath laminate, engineered hardwood and other floating floor systems. They absorb impact, reduce noise transmission and also act as a moisture barrier to protect your floors. This makes them extremely useful for apartments and other multi-residential living as well.

Yes, foam underlay is effective in reducing noise transmission in flooring installations. Foam underlay acts as a sound-dampening layer between the subfloor and the finished flooring material, helping to minimize both impact noise and airborne noise. Our acoustic foam underlays are specifically designed for apartments as they are tested to minimise noise reduction to meet strata requirements.

The cost of foam underlay varies depending on several factors, including the type of foam, thickness, quality and brand. Additionally, the size of the underlay roll or pack will also affect the price. Typically, non-acoustic foam underlay should cost around $3 – $5 per square metre, whereas acoustic noise reducing foam underlay can cost from $5 – $10 per square metre.
