Just taken delivery of some nice dark grey PVC floor tiles for my small double garage.

I expected them to be a little softer than they are and a quick test of walking on one tile straight on the concrete floor makes more of a “tally” noise than I expected.

Some posts from way back seem to suggest using that v thin laminate underlay helps to dampen the sound. Anyone done this? Make much difference? Have any negative effects?

(I could have ordered samples but I figured they’re all much of a muchness.... Oh and I’ll speak to the manufacturer as well.)

Cheers!

Will lay the weed fabric and then tiles on top. Will have to do and will be way better than the concrete and worn out paint..!
