I fitted a fairly average laminate in my kitchen on a flat concrete floor using a simple 3mm foam underlay about 12 years ago. The floor has lasted well considering it was the wrong underlay with no signs of any damp issues at all. Changing the floor to a better quality laminate for decorative reasons and I am going to use some foil backed underlay as I know I should have done in the first place.
Its a north facing kitchen so always has a chilly floor first thing but will the correct foil barrier underlay raise the floor temp a few degrees ?
