PAVITEMA REX XR 5 mm – 10×1.5 m roll (15 m²) – impact sound insulation under screed
TERMOLANImpact sound insulation under screed in high-performance cross-linked PE (dynamic stiffness s' = 46 MN/m³ , EN 29052-1). Roll 10×1.5 m = 15 m² , thickness 5 mm – quick continuous installation. Conductivity λD 0.034 W/mK , density 30 kg/m³ , compressibility < 1 mm . For floating floors, use as a professional acoustic insulation (perimeter strip + taped joints). Ideally, use with a traditional or self-leveling screed. Large quantities? The product is bulky (long package/pallet). For multiple orders (multiple rolls or entire pallets), contact us: we'll prepare a customized quote with shipping optimization and quantity discounts .

Compressibility < 1 mm Operating temperature from −30°C to +80°C Impact performance (note) Calculated ΔLw indicated 21–24 dB depending on the references; the actual value depends on the mass package and the screed used. Application Under floating screed (anti-impact)
How to lay it (quick guide)
- Basic preparation : clean, level substrate. Lay a perimeter strip along all walls (avoid any hard contact between the screed and the walls).
- Unroll REX XR with the edges butted. Tape the joints to ensure acoustic continuity and prevent sagging.
- Separating film : where required by the specifications/screed, lay down a PE film (overlapping sheets ≥10 cm) to prevent the mixture from penetrating the insulation.
- Pouring the screed (traditional or self-leveling): respect the minimum thicknesses and curing times. Advice : entrust this phase to a professional applicator.
- Joints and details : take care of the passages of systems, thresholds and openings with clean cuts and taping to avoid acoustic bridges.em>.
Packaging & Logistics
- Sales unit : single roll of 15 m² .
- Approximate shipping size for a single roll: h ≈ 1.5 m; Ø ~ 28–33 cm (estimate); “long” neck.
- For multiple orders, shipping on pallets with fixings and angle brackets is recommended.
Technical transparency : actual acoustic performance depends on screed, finish and installation details; the s' and λD parameters are the most correct for comparing materials.

FAQ — PAVITEMA REX XR 5 mm (impact sound insulation under screed)
What is PAVITEMA REX XR 5 mm and what is it used for?
PAVITEMA REX XR is a resilient anti-impact layer in cross-linked polyethylene to be laid under the screed to create a floating floor and reduce impact noise.
Can I use it without redoing the screed?
No. XR is designed for under screed . If you are not redoing the screed and are looking for insulation under laminate/parquet/LVT , use a dedicated acoustic underlay (not XR).
How many square meters does a roll cover?
Each roll measures 10×1.5 m → 15 m² . For cutsand scraps consider a +5–10% as a spare.
What acoustic performance should I expect?
The result It depends on the system (screed, finishing, installation details). The design parameter is thestrong>dynamic stiffness s' = 46 MN/m³rong> (EN 29052-1). The ΔLw reported in the literature varies depending on the package./p>
It is compatible with theem>underfloor heating?
Yes, in correct layered systems. Typically the resilient layer isstrong>under the screed And above any thermal panels. Always check with designer/massetener the stratigraphy and thicknesses.
What accessories are needed for a perfect installation?h3>
Perimeter band (cuts the acoustic bridges between the wall and the screed), joint tape (estate), and PE film as separator layer when required by the screed. Useful corner pieces/seals for utility passages.
Can it be used in bathrooms, kitchens, or wet areas?/h3>
Yes, with correct details:strong>lapel of the perimeter band, continuous film under screed and, if applicable, waterproofing above the screed before covering.
What are the most common mistakes to avoid??
- Drill or cut the resilient layer (unsealed installation passages).
- Don't put the perimeter band around the ENTIRE perimeter.
- Joints not taped or incorrectly overlapped sheets.
- Place screed/doors/systems directly on the walls (acoustic bridge).
- Walk or stack heavy material directly on the XR before pouring.there>
Packaging and shipping: how does the roll arrive?
Single roll h ≈ 1.5 mstrong>, Ø 28–33 cmstrong> (indicative). 1–3 rolls: long neck; larger quantities: pallet with corners and strapping.
