2 Benefits InstaLay* is a self-contained underlay system that simplifies installation by reducing sub-floor preparation and eliminating the need for adhesive. InstaLay adds comfort and sound absorption to improve the performance of common floor covering products in private homes, hospitality, retail, healthcare, multi-family housing, education facilities and more. The InstaLay system has the benefit of being supported internally by recycled vulcanized rubber crumb granules, unlike traditional foam and textile underlays. Therefore when InstaLay is compressed the rubber granules provide excellent cushioning performance, but when the pressure is released these granules immediately return to their original shape. In addition to being non-collapsing, they will not degrade over time and have excellent acoustic properties. Comfort Anti-fatigue properties provide underfoot comfort Improved shock absorption for fitness and dance studios Acoustic performance Easy installation reduces time and costs No adhesive required Loose lay installation Minimises sub-floor preparation Installs over existing flooring Manufactured using recycled rubber crumb to provide excellent acoustic performance InstaLay 30 Impact Sound Improvement 23dB ΔLw Impact Insulation Class (IIC) 55 InstaLay 50 Impact Sound Improvement 26dB ΔLw Impact Insulation Class (IIC) 58 Tested on 150mm / 6 concrete floor with no floor covering or ceiling system *Patent Pending 2 InstaLay is a registered trademark
