Frequently Asked Questions

Is Rotterdam Modern Classic 1050 suitable for underfloor heating?

Yes. This flooring is suitable for use with underfloor heating when installed correctly and within recommended temperature limits.

What does a matt-finish texture mean?

A matt finish has a low sheen that reduces glare and highlights the natural grain, giving the floor a softer, more natural appearance.

Are wide planks suitable for smaller rooms?

Yes. Wide planks can help smaller rooms feel more open by reducing visual breaks across the floor.

Is this floor easy to maintain?

Yes. Regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional damp cleaning with a wood-safe product will keep it looking its best.

What underlay should I use?

** Installation on Concrete or Screed (Mineral Subfloors)**

Vapour Barrier Required: You must use an underlay with an integrated moisture barrier (PE film) or install a separate 0.2 mm PE film beneath your underlay. This prevents residual moisture from the subfloor from damaging the laminate core board.

Installation on Wooden Subfloors

Standard Underlay: You need an acoustic insulation underlay to reduce footfall sound and compensate for minor unevenness in the wood.

Vapour Barrier: Generally not required for wooden subfloors unless specified for a particular ground-floor situation.

If You Have Underfloor Heating Thermal Resistance: You must choose an underlay with low thermal resistance (ideally a total system value below 0.15 m²K/W) to allow heat to pass through efficiently.

• Akustik-Protect 100: Is the best all round underlay . Ideal for mineral subfloors as it includes an integrated vapour barrier.

Akustik-Protect 80: Suitable for standard installations where moisture protection is not the primary concern

Insulation: Do not use underlay with Ecofilm underfloor heating. Instead use high-density insulation boards (e.g., 6mm EcoMax-Lite ) to reflect heat upwards.

Will each plank look the same?

No. Natural variation in tone and grain ensures each plank is unique, adding character and depth to the floor.
