NuCore Excellence questions
Can laminate go in a bathroom or laundry?
No. Terra Mater’s warranty excludes bathrooms, saunas and laundries, and it recommends hybrid or vinyl for wet areas. Wipe up spills promptly.
Do I need underlay?
Yes. Terra Mater requires its EvaLay 2mm or 3mm foam underlay with a plastic moisture barrier, and an extra 200 micron plastic sheet on damp slabs.
Does it work with underfloor heating?
Only in-slab hydronic heating. Terra Mater’s installation guide says the slab surface must never go above 26°C, and it doesn’t recommend other types of floor heating.
Excellence or Extreme?
Both are 12mm. Excellence is AC4 (light commercial) in 2250mm boards with a drop-lock click. Extreme is AC5 (heavy commercial) in 2200mm boards with a Välinge 5G click, and Terra Mater tests it for 24 hours of water resistance.
