What Unifloor Underlay Systems does

Unifloor Underlay Systems (Unifloor B.V.) is a Dutch specialty manufacturer of sound-reducing and leveling floor underlays, headquartered in Deventer, Netherlands, and operating for over 40 years. The company has been the market leader in the Netherlands in its category and supplies a comprehensive product portfolio built around the Jumpax family of dual-layer dry leveling underlay systems, with additional lines covering contact-sound reduction (Redupax, BlueFloor, Redu-Panel), high-load and heavy-duty applications (Jumpax HD, Marathon Super XPS), underfloor heating integration (Heat-Foil, Heat-Blok, Heat-Pak), and ecological leveling (EcoPearls, GreenFloor, CocoFloor, EcoFleece). The technical core is dry leveling technology that eliminates curing/drying time versus wet screed, certified to Dutch NTA standards for 10 dB contact sound reduction, with additional NSG certification for wooden subfloors and FSC certification for wood-based raw materials. The business model is hardware sales of physical underlay products to two end-customer segments: construction professionals and installers (B2B) and individual homeowners (B2C), distributed through a network of more than 800 retail stores in the Netherlands (primarily floor specialists and interior shops) plus an international dealer footprint covering Belgium, Germany, the UK, France, Switzerland, Ireland, and the United States. Notable reference projects include the 80,000 m² MIT W1 student housing renovation in Cambridge, MA, the 15,000 m² Feusi School in Switzerland, the Tarkett showroom near Paris, McFit Berlin, and multiple hotel and government installations across Europe. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers are directed to contact dealers or the company directly, and the company operates a multilingual web presence including a floor-selection wizard (vloerkeuzemenu) and dealer locator to support both professional and consumer purchasing journeys.
