Underlayments

Importance of underlayments

Underlayments provide crucial support beneath flooring, enhancing comfort, sound insulation, and moisture protection. Each type is designed with specific flooring and subfloor compatibility in mind, ensuring optimal performance for all flooring types. With features like vapor barriers and varying material densities, these underlayments help improve the durability and overall feel of your floors.
