Coreluxe Underlayment
Coreluxe is a premium recycled fiber underlayment built for luxury vinyl plank, luxury vinyl tile and multi-layer flooring like WPC, SPC, and rigid core vinyl planks. It’s also a great solution for laminate, engineered hardwoods, and floating ceramic tile systems. Suited for floating, glue down, and mechanically fastened installations either in residential and commercial applications. Impressive sound ratings (providing exceptional through-the-floor and footfall noise protection) including an industry leading Delta IIC rating makes Coreluxe the ideal underlayment to be installed under LVT, LVF and MLF flooring; with STC rating of 62, IIC rating of 70 and Delta IIC of 28.
- Thin and dense recycled fiber composition controls unwanted sound and noise for a quieter living environment.
- Attached vapor barrier protects investment from damaging moisture and high PH levels that especially occur in concrete subfloors.
- Thin profile helps to properly support seams and click together joints in all multi-layer flooring materials.
- Moisture management system allows subfloors to breathe, not trapping harmful moisture. Fibers treated with anti-microbial to inhibit mold or mildew growth.
- Earth-Friendly; made with recycled content normally headed to our landfills. Made with a patented process.
- No off-gassing from Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). GREENGUARD GOLD certified for low emissions.

Water Protection
Concrete subfloors continuously transmit water vapor which can turn into harmful bulk moisture if trapped. When installed properly, Coreluxe becomes a powerful moisture management system that allows concrete subfloors to ‘breathe’ without affecting your floor.
This is due to its patented, recycled, fibers which absorb and spread vapor emissions throughout the pad to areas where it can escape, while the attached vapor barrier protects the flooring above from moisture traveling throughout the pad below. All of Coreluxe’s fibers are treated with an anti-microbial as well to inhibit mold and mildew, keeping your floors safe and dry.
BenefitsSound Absorption
Coreluxe’s pad is constructed from randomly air-laid filaments to create a capillary affect to cushion the floor, absorb sound, and help make floors sound more like real wood.
IIC – Impact Sound Transmission Sound Properties
This method is designed to measure the impact sound transmission performance of a floor-ceiling assembly in a controlled laboratory
environment.
STC – Sound Transmission Loss
This method measures the sound-insulating property of a partition element is
expressed in terms of the sound transmission loss.
Delta IIC
An impact sound test that directly evaluates acoustic performance properties of underlayments based on the difference of acoustical performance with the entire flooring assembled on top of the subfloor and of the sub-floor only.
