QA Flooring Solution’s Product Range

You can view our full product range by clicking the link to the directory in this post or at the top of your page – ‘Download Directory’. But below we’ll share some of our top performing products and categories so you can get an idea about why we’re the leading manufacturer of underlays and flooring accessories in the UK, by getting to know the products a little for yourself.

Wood Underlays 

Our range of underlays suitable for use beneath wood, engineered and laminate flooring are some of the most varied on the market. We only offer underlays for wood flooring that meet at least 3 of the following benefits:

• Cushioning 
• Level Floors 
• Hard Wearing 
• Moisture Protection 
• Compression Recovery 
• Heat Insulation 
• Sound Reduction 
• Underfloor Heating 
• Commercial Use

We believe that your underlay should be bringing more than one benefit your way, which is why we always manufacture underlays that tick more than just one box. 

Below are just some of our top-performing underlays for wooden floors:

• UniBase (Bronze, Silver & Gold) – All 3 wood underlays are best used in light traffic areas, like bedrooms or dining areas, as opposed to hallways and living rooms. All 3 also offer varying degrees of cushioning and sound reduction, and they’re also compatible with underfloor heating systems too, adding to the overall comfort on offer here. Even better, UniBase Silver and UniBase Gold also offer moisture protection too.
• Barrier/Barrier Plus – Both Barrier and Barrier Plus are great for medium traffic areas, so you’ll be able to make good use of them in offices and living spaces that maybe aren’t as busy as your main living room and hallways. They’re both great for cushioning, sound reduction and moisture protection whilst also being suitable for underfloor heating.
• TimberTech – We offer 8 TimberTech products in total, all of which are great for heavy traffic areas like hallways and living rooms and the TimberTech2 Gold, TimberTech Elite, TimberTech Elite Plus and TimberTech2 Acoustic Plus are all compatible for commercial use too. 

Carpet Underlays 

Our carpet underlays are also known for offering multiple benefits at once and are suitable for varying degrees of traffic just as with wood underlays. Here are some of the ranges we stock that tend to do well with trade customers:

• FloorSure (Silver, Gold & Platinum) – The FloorSure range all boast cushioning, compression recovery, heat insulation and sound insulation as some of their key benefits, but with varying degrees, whereby FloorSure Silver isn’t quite as impressive in those areas as FloorSure Platinum. The entire range is best suited to light traffic areas.
• SpringBack (Silver & Gold) – SpringBack offers a range of underlays that are all great in medium-traffic areas of your customer’s homes. They offer the exact same benefits as the FloorSure range above, but as its name suggests, it’s the compression recovery in medium traffic areas that truly makes this underlay range stand out. Choose from Silver or Gold; both are excellent ways to support the carpet above.
• Pure Underlay Range – We manufacture 4 Pure Underlays for carpets in heavy traffic areas. Two versions each of the Pure Super High Density and Pure Ultra High Density underlays – 9mm and 11mm. They’re all known for their cushioning underfoot, compression recovery, and heat and sound insulation as those above, but are also particularly well-known for being hard-wearing and resistant to damage, making them an excellent choice for busy hallways and heavy traffic areas. 

Acoustic Underlays 

Our acoustic underlays are important to many of our trade customers because every one of them (apart from our SoundBarrier underlay) is suitable for commercial use. Whilst many of our customers see domestic installations as their bread and butter, commercial flooring jobs are obviously more lucrative as there’s far more flooring that needs to be installed.

Many of these acoustic underlays are also suitable for underfloor heating, all of them clearly offer outstanding sound insulation (hence their inclusion in the range), and almost all of them are hard-wearing and are known for their durability.

Flooring Accessories

We’re also known for our flooring accessories in the UK. At QA Flooring Solutions, we recognise that truly comfortable, luxurious, long-term flooring solutions require a strong base (like our underlays), a strong flooring option on top, and all the bells and whistles you like to improve your flooring from a design, support, stability, or performance perspective. That’s why our range of flooring accessories are some of the most extensive in the UK.

• Profiles
• Scotias
• Grippers
• Adhesives
• Tapes
• And tools

Are all available from us, making our flooring accessories the go-to for many home and business owners alike.

So, Why Are We The Leading Manufacturer In The UK For Underlays & Flooring Accessories?

Even though we have such an extensive range of underlays and flooring accessories, a wonderful team who only ever aims to improve each day, and top quality manufacturing procedures that ensure a flawless product every time – that’s not the reason we’re the UK’s leader. The reason we’re the UK’s leading underlay manufacturer is our customers. 

Trade customers, retailers, home and business owners – all of them have come to trust our product and understand that at QA Flooring Solutions, we’re a name you can trust. A name that champions quality, and products that do more than just what it says on the tin. 

With products manufactured well to provide multiple benefits at once, we know that adding as much value to customers as possible is the only way to make it to the top – and stay there. And that’s why we’ll always prioritise manufacturing the underlays and providing flooring accessories that truly make a difference to the customers you serve.
