- Underlays - Our underlay flooring products are above and beyond premium quality.

FromFloorSure Gold 10mm, a premium PU foam underlay made to promote comfort in low-foot traffic areas, toCombiFelt Acoustic, a high-quality Felt underlay made to protect your carpet in heavy traffic areas and dampen sound, we have a full range for you to explore.
- Wood and laminate underlays - QA flooring supplies underlays for this flooring type in PU foam, natural wood fibre, crumb rubber, XPS foam and composite materials. FromUnibase Bronze, a top-grade recyclable underlay designed to support floors in low-traffic areas, toFineFloor series, dense boards created to absorb high-foot traffic and iron out imperfections, there’s something for everyone.
- Luxury vinyl tile underlays - LVT is a premium flooring option with very few weaknesses overall, but QA flooring supplies underlays that aim to make LVT stronger and quieter. These include the recyclable cork Quiet Roll, which boasts compatibility with underfloor heating, and the high-density SoundBarrier underlay, which adds additional moisture protection.
