Where to Use Modul'up?

Modul'up is capable of withstanding all types of wear and tear with its "lay flat, stay flat" technology and its enhanced indentation resistance, and is suitable for both new build and for renovation applications in health care facilities, schools, offices and well as residential buildings.

Decibel 19dB high traffic acoustic version
Delivering underfoot comfort and enhanced impact sound reduction, the Decibel version is ideally suited for communal areas of multi-unit housing, education buildings, care homes, offices and public buildings.

Compact intensive traffic version
Ideally suited for health care institutions, care homes, education facilities and public buildings where, in addition to high foot traffic, occasional rolling loads are part of the use of the building.

T.E. for damp subfloors
A quick and easy to install solution for damp subfloors with up to 97% RH. Featuring our Aquablock back layer embossing, Modul'up T.E. allows the subfloor to breathe and moisture to dissipate.

The Modul'up System

Our unique Double Structural Stabilisation System - DSx3, which incorporates two layers of fibre glass fleece within the construction, ensures that the Modul'up sheets will not curl, ruck or roll once installed with the Modul’up tape system.

This unique single sided tape system ensures the product joins stay tightly in place once installed, making it a truly ‘lay flat, stay flat’ flooring solution in every sense.

The innovative Modul’up tape system works by being fitted underneath the joints between the sheets. The non-slip surface on one side ensures the product stays in place without sticking to the sub-floor, while the adhesive side adheres to the vinyl to keep it firmly in place. There is no need to perimeter tape the room or door thresholds either, delivering further time and cost savings.

Available in a 19dB high traffic Decibel version for underfoot comfort and enhanced impact sound reduction, a Compact intensive traffic version for applications where rolling loads are part of the use of the building, and T.E. for subfloors with up to 97% RH.
