When flooring shop owners need a new kitchen floor, what do they choose? Helen and Adam Wilson saw this as a perfect opportunity to try out an underlay for vinyl tiles. The results were amazing!
 
“I never like to sell a new innovative product without seeing first-hand what it’s like,” said Helen. “So this week we tried out a new type of fixing underlay for vinyl tiles on my new kitchen floor.
 
fitting LVT underlay“We had a dilemma the old kitchen floor was a luxury vinyl tile (LVT) but we had just redecorated and decided a change would be nice. But like most people the idea of taking up the old and re-screeding over the glue etc. filled me with dismay as it was so nearly finished. I really didn’t want all that upheaval.
 
“Then along came our Moduleo rep Mat with the perfect solution “Xtrafloor Flex Pro” – a sticky mat like underlay that rolls out over the old flooring and you simply stick the new LVT flooring onto it.
 
“Must be a catch I thought, maybe it moves around a bit, how good was the glue – would it hold, is it hard to use?
 
“Well I can safely say I haven’t found a catch yet but there are an awful lot of positives!”
 
7 big benefits of Xtrafloor Flex Pro:
 
  • finished LVT flooring No re-screeding necessary or uplift of the old tiles (please note this is not always the case it depends on the type of flooring you have down)
  • Only 1.8 mm deep so no huge height difference involved in laying it
  • No messy adhesive
  • Improved sound insulating
  • Ok in higher temperature environments such as conservatories
  • You can walk on it straight away
  • You could if you needed to just pull the flooring back up – it just peels away from the sub-floor without any damage 
Helen adds: “And although it’s not proven it certainly feels warmer under foot to me!”
