Product Description
The Expert Eko Matt CEZAR underlay is made from high-quality extruded polystyrene foam (XPS). It effectively levels minor subfloor irregularities, offers high compressive strength, and provides excellent impact sound insulation.
The underlay is supplied in individual boards with a thickness of 3 mm, allowing for easy cutting and fast installation. It is suitable for all types of floating floors, including laminate, vinyl click flooring, engineered wood, and wood-based floors.
Ideal for use with underfloor heating systems.
For additional moisture protection, the use of a vapour barrier foil is recommended.

Benefits
- Thermal Insulation
Thanks to its insulation properties, the underlay creates an effective barrier against cold subfloors. It reduces heat loss, lowers heating costs, and improves overall thermal comfort.
- Moisture Protection
Moisture is one of the biggest threats to laminate and wooden floors, as it promotes the growth of mould and microorganisms. The material structure of the underlay limits moisture migration, increasing the durability of the floor.
(SD value applies to underlays with an integrated vapour barrier.)
- CS – Compressive Strength
To prevent damage to click-locking systems, the underlay must not permanently compress or deform. High compressive strength (CS) ensures effective load transfer without reducing thickness, protecting the floor joints from damage.
- Suitable for Underfloor Heating
Manufactured using innovative technology, this underlay features very low thermal resistance, allowing efficient heat transfer into the room. Optional perforations in the base further improve heat distribution from the heating system to the floor surface.
- Walking Sound (Room Acoustics)
Walking noise is generated by footsteps and perceived within the same room. The underlay absorbs and dampens vibrations, improving room acoustics and reducing echo.
- Impact Sound Insulation
Impact sound is transmitted to adjacent or lower rooms. The underlay significantly reduces impact noise, improving acoustic comfort in multi-storey buildings.
- Compensation of Local Subfloor Irregularities
Thanks to its asymmetric structure—one smooth side and one uneven side—the underlay helps compensate for minor subfloor imperfections. This protects the flooring from bending, sagging, and damage to click joints over time.
Installation
CEZAR underlays are designed for quick and easy installation. Their functional shape, size, and connection method allow fast adaptation to room dimensions and precise fitting.
Fire Behaviour
Fire classification defines the flammability and combustion properties of the material. Floor underlays are categorized according to established fire reaction classes.
Application
CEZAR underlays are specifically designed for installation under floating floors. They level subfloor irregularities and provide effective impact sound insulation under laminate, wood, vinyl, and wood-based flooring.
Storage
Store the underlays in their original packaging, away from organic solvents, excessive heat, and direct sunlight. Protect the packaging from mechanical damage.
Transport
Transport in original packaging in accordance with national transport regulations. Protect the load from mechanical damage and overheating.
For enhanced moisture protection, the use of a vapour barrier foil is recommended.
