3C is adventuring below the surface of flooring to understand underlayment. Underlayment is a crucial step in flooring installation because it provides a protective layer between subflooring and the finished materials. It is the essential element to any floor’s longevity: hardwood, bamboo, engineered wood, laminate, vinyl and tile.
Underlayment works hard beneath your flooring in five ways:
1. 1.Sound and Moisture Protection
2. 2.Provides firmness and comfort underfoot
3. 3.Mold and mildew resistant
4. 4.Floor Cushioning
5. 5.Crush Proof Technology
The most important features are moisture protection and sound reduction.
Here are some regular Moisture-proof underlayment you can choose from:
