Natural stone and ceramic tiles
Possible residual moisture in the sub-floor may rise to the surface and consequently, before installing the system-specific insulating
underlay (see section:
Attention!
underlay materials), a moisture protection film, SD value ≥ 75 m, must be installed over the whole
area in a trough shape as a moisture barrier. When installing EGGER Laminate flooring with Silenzio underlay laminated to the back
and Comfort flooring, no other insulating underlay must be installed.
Woodchip and fibreboard
To improve impact sound, before installing laminate flooring a system-specific insulating underlay (see section:
Attention!
Underlay
materials) should be installed. A moisture protection film (vapour barrier) should not be fitted. EGGER Laminate flooring with
Silenzio underlay laminated to the back and Comfort flooring can be directly installed on wooden boards.
Wooden boards
Any loose boards should be properly screwed down. To improve impact sound, before installing laminate flooring a system-specific
insulating underlay (see section:
Attention!
Underlay materials) should be installed. A moisture protection film (vapour barrier)
should not be fitted. EGGER Laminate flooring with Silenzio underlay laminated to the back and Comfort flooring can be directly
installed on floorboards. Please note that the laminate flooring and Comfort flooring elements are installed at right angles to the
floorboards.
Elastic flooring surfaces (PVC, linoleum, vinyl)
The use of flexible floor coverings meets the damp-proofing requirements and thus eradicates the need for a moisture protection
film. To improve impact sound, before installing laminate flooring, a system-specific insulating underlay should be installed. EGGER
Laminate flooring with Silenzio underlay laminated to the back and Comfort flooring, can be directly installed on the elastic flooring.

Wet rooms / wet areas
Attention!
EGGER Laminate and Comfort flooring may not be installed in wet and damp rooms such as bathrooms, saunas or similar
spaces. In the case of failure to comply, all guarantee and warranty claims will become void.
Attention! Underlay materials
On mineral sub-floors, a moisture protection film, SD value ≥ 75 m, must be installed over the whole area in a trough shape.
The exception to this is when using EGGER Silenzio Duo (2 in 1 insulating underlay with integrated moisture protection) or a
comparable 2 in 1 underlay. In these cases, a separate moisture protection film is not necessary.
A system-specific EGGER Silenzio underlay must be used under EGGER laminate flooring. Alternative underlayer boards are
available at

.
The exception to this is when using EGGER laminate flooring with Silenzio underlay laminated to the back and Comfort
flooring. No other insulating underlay must be used in this case.
