Abstract: A method for manufacturing an underlay material (8) to be set under parquet or a laminate, the underlay material including a sheet material layer (1) and a flexible cellular plastic material layer (3) bonded under the sheet material layer, and a bottom surface of the cellular plastic layer being processed for providing an air space, whereby the bottom surface of the cellular plastic material layer (3) is processed by melting the cellular plastic material locally for providing an air space (9) and for simultaneously bonding the cellular plastic material layer to the sheet material layer (1). An underlay material manufactured by such a method is also described.

Abstract: A prefabricated underlay material (1) for location between upper surface of a load-bearing floor (8) and a continuous surface material (9), which underlay material comprises a substantially flexible sheet material (2) and dampening projections (3) formed of porous resilient material on one surface of the sheet material and distributed along the surface. Dampening projections (3) comprise strips (13) of foamed polymer or polymer mixture bonded to a first surface (11) of the sheet material without deformation of the surface thereof, which strips are located continuous, or intermittently continuous, with intervals (S) and are either principally straight or substantially undulating.
