So why use an underlay at all?
Simple, your Parky parquet uses a floating installation system. Floating a wooden floor means that the wood flooring planks are installed ‘loose’, i.e. they are not affixed to the screed or any type of surface. The underlay is installed between the screed and your Parky floor. That underlay fulfils three crucial functions: absorbing small irregularities in the floor, damping walking and contact noise and protecting your parquet floor against rising damp. In other words, it’s not just for your own comfort but it also helps to keep your parquet floor in tip-top shape.
