This system is highly user friendly, quicker to install and a lot more stable than other systems. WHY USE A QUICK STEP LIVYN UNDERLAY? Whilst it is not always necessary to install Livyn Balance Click flooring on top of an underlay, the Quick-Step Livyn Underlay has been designed to provide a floor with better acoustic performance. This additional acoustic treatment is great for multistorey living and, even in normal residential homes, will provide a quieter, somewhat more comfortable floor to walk on. A Quick-step Livyn underlay levels and helps to prevent irregularities and pressure marks. It offers good sound insulation properties towards the room below and reduces footfall noises when you walk across the floor. This strong and durable underlay is ideal for the Uniclic Multifit click system. It is perfectly suitable for floor heating and/or cooling.
