Do I need to use underlay if I’m installing carpet over the top?
Yes, you definitely need to install underlay on top of the floor foam if you’re installing carpet. Floor-foam isn’t a replacement for underlay.
Can I use floor-foam in the bathroom and kitchen?
As long as the floor-foam is correctly sealed and protective flooring is laid on top you won’t have any issues with it getting mouldy, damp, or reacting with water.
How do I attach the floor-foam to concrete floors?
We sell Thermaseal double-sided tape that is perfect for this, or you can use a non-solvent adhesive.
Do I need to tape and seal the insulation?

How much flooring will the EcoTec Floor-Foam Insulation Kit cover?
One kit will cover 30 square meters.
Will I need to buy an extra ThermaSeal Foil Joining Tape?

Do I need any extra protection between the insulation and the flooring I’m laying over the top?
We do recommend laying a thin layer of plywood over the floor-foam if you’re installing tile, vinyl, carpet tiles, or LVT flooring. This will give the flooring a completely solid surface to lay on. You don’t need to do this with carpet or laminate.
Can I use vinyl over FloorFoam?
Yes, however we would recommend installing a thin plywood over the FloorFoam before installing a vinyl.
