Hi,
Going to lay some 12mm laminate soon, mostly on suspended floor but some will be on concrete subfloor.
Looking online I'm keen to get the 3mm foil backed foam insulation (sonic gold). The thing thats throwing me is there is a 3mm silver foil backed foam insulation thats a fair bit cheaper (£8 per roll and I need 5 rolls). On the ebay listing it says the gold is better for insulation. But if they're both 3mm, I don't get how. Can't imagine the foil is any different other than the colour. Any thoughts? Links below.
Silver:
Gold:
Also, I hear its foil side down, but how do you fit the tape to it in that instance? Lay it sticky side up underneath on the join??
Thanks all
