    I've narrowed down to a few based on specs, looking at a combination of low tog rating and high noise reduction to use for laminate over ufh

    Duralay Heatflow
    QA Timbertech2 Thermal Plus
    Duralay Silent Floor Gold
    Duralay Timbermate Excel

    Which would you recommend based on best value for money? Any of the above or something else?

    At the moment I'm veering towards SilentFloor Gold which is marginally more expensive than Timbermate which seems to get recommended a lot - has anyone used this?

    Not much between them. Silent floor gold is 24 decibel rating, excell 23. Gold is 0.33 tog, excell 0.55.
    I prefer excel as it is slightly thinner and seems denser although they are both about the same

    If it was on spec I'd go heatflow but on value excel

    As a pointless note about excel...It has a pungent fishy smell :) Nothing that stays around though..

    cheers for that. Gone for the timbermate excel as much more widely available and can get one of the cheapest prices around reasonably locally

    The original post is from 2014 and has good info and I wondered if there were any suggestions for underlay products in 2018.

    I have come across ProVent Underfloor Heating Laminate Underlay with a tog rating of 0.1 and a DB rating of 22.

    Product appears to be by Krono Swiss or Swiss Krono??

    The price seems crazy at £22.50 for 15sqm compared with the others.

    Anyone come across this???
