Product Description
Jumpax Basic v Flooring Grade Ply
The cost of floor grade ply board continues to increase at a rapid rate and is predicted to continue increasing for some time. With the additional cost of screws and feather finish screed on top of the ply its simply no longer a cost-effective solution to level your sub floor.
Jumpax Basic is significantly cheaper than ply and with a pack covering 2.88sqm is significantly easier to handle than a large sheet of ply board.
Unlike ply board there is no need to screw into the sub floor saving the cost on the screws and a huge amount of time not having to screw every 150mm as per British Standards.
Jumpax Basic v Traditional Screed
No need to mix screed which can create dust and mess in your client’s home. There is no mess with Jumpax Basic.
Screeds require up to 12 hours after pouring to set before the flooring can be fitted, so the floor fitting will usually need to be done the next day, meaning a longer and more costly installation time. Jumpax Basic can be laid on immediately saving time and money.
Screeds are applied direct to the subfloor and do not provide any heat insulation. Jumpax Basic is warmer underfoot as the MDF board and any underlay layers insulate against the cold of the subfloor underneath.
Screeds do not absorb impact noise. Jumpax Basic will be quieter to walk on as the underlay layer helps to absorb impact noise. And when installed over QA FineFloor TechniBoard underlay can provide a sound reduction of up to 21dB.
