Hi all,
I'm about to buy laminate flooring for the ground floor of my house and one of the rooms is where my wife and I exercise - no heavy weights but martial arts and aerobics type exercise.
It is a suspended wooden floor which is pretty level but I was planning to lay some ply on top to allow for the most stable end product. The laminate I am looking at is 10mm thick and i was thinking of 6,9 or 12mm ply.
What underlay would be best at coping with the jumping around that the floor will be subjected to?
Also I know that normally you wouldn't lay 2 underlays but is it possible to lay some of the thin white foam underlay between the suspended wooden floor and the ply for extra sound proofing and a little extra insulation or would that compromise the stability of the finished floor?
Sorry for the multiple questions but any help will be appreciated.
Cheers
Aran
