Underlayment can make your new
Underlayment can make your new floor more comfortable, quiet, and it can add protection and even out minor subfloor imperfections for a better installation, even if your chosen flooring comes with attached padding. Always check the manufacturers instructions on each flooring to confirm if underlayment is recommended.

"A key element to a successful flooring installation is understanding and using the proper underlayment. So today, I’m going to walk you through just how to do that.
Underlayment is a thin material that rests between your floor and subfloor. Generally speaking, a high-quality underlayment provides sound absorption and protects your floor from harmful moisture.
Underlayment will always improve your floor’s performance, and the denser it is, the better. There are a host of benefits to using it.
First, acoustical underlayment dampens and helps absorb sound transmission, including sounds from walking around.
It makes walking and standing much more comfortable by adding cushion to a hard-surface floor, and can provide an additional layer of insulation.
Many underlayments include a moisture vapor retarder layer, helping protect against moisture, mildew, and mold that can build up under your floor.
Underlayment also smoothes out minor imperfections in your subfloor, leading to a more stable and supported floor.
And, LL Flooring’s premium underlayments are LEED Certified as “green” products.
There are many types and brands to choose from when selecting your underlayment, so it’s important to know what you’re looking for.
The type of underlayment you need depends on your installation method, the type of material you’re using, and whether you’re installing over wood or concrete.
You’ll also want to consider density, compression, sound transmission, moisture resistance, comfort, and of course cost when choosing your underlayment.
Once you’ve selected the underlayment that’s right for you, installation is relatively easy.
Remember to always refer to the instruction sheet that came with your specific product before starting any project.
First, make sure whatever your subfloor is, it’s level, clean, and perfectly dry.
Start by lining up the edges of your underlayment against the wall. You may want to staple it to hold it in place, and then roll it out to the other side.
Cut it to fit, cutting around any corners or obstacles.
Then continue rolling out strips until you’ve covered the floor. It’s important not to layer the overlay, but have the seams flush together.
That’s it! With the right underlayment, you’re on your way to a beautiful, professional floor that you can enjoy for years to come.
If you have more questions about underlayment, flooring, or the hundreds of ways to improve your home, talk with the experts at LL Flooring."
