Two laminate underlayment manufacturers have earned the
NALFA Certification Seal for their products. The Silencer from Foam Products
Corp., and Torlys' Safe & Sound underlayment brands have passed ANSI
product testing and may now display the NALFA certification seal.
“Underlayment
quality is a major issue in today’s industry,” said Erik Arnold with Foam
Products Corp. “NALFA certification gives great credibility and upholding to
our product’s reputation and track record for unparalleled performance.”
Tino Couto
from Torlys added, “Torlys laminate flooring is already certified by NALFA. It
is a valued certification and was a logical step for us to pursue for our
underlayment. It gives our customers peace of mind and assurance when buying
our state-of-the-art products.”
In order to
earn the NALFA Certification Seal, a laminate underlayment product must pass
two tiers of tests designed to evaluate its performance, including impact
sound, airborne sound transmission, compression deflection, thickness, and
moisture vapor transmission. Underlayment products that successfully pass
testing receive the NALFA Certification Seal.
“It is
great to see the constant support from top manufacturers in the laminate
underlayment industry,” said E. C. “Bill” Dearing, president of NALFA. “By
continually submitting product lines for the rigorous testing conducted by
NALFA, Foam Products Corp. and Torlys are not only showing their support for
industry standards, they are also showcasing the quality of their brands. We
applaud them for their efforts to seek NALFA Certification on their products.”
