Why You Need Underlayment For Your Floors

[@JamesWHurst]

I am finding that YOUR videos are consistently productive for me, clear and direct, and I really appreciate your creating these and sharing them. Thank you.

How'd it go? I watched a lot of his videos, he definitely makes it look easier than it was!

[@mjpyro2458]

One thing to be aware of regarding an underlayment, a lot of flooring companies that say not to use one will use it as an excuse to void your warranty on it if anything goes wrong. That info came to me directly from someone that deals with selling it daily and dealing with manufacturers on behalf of customers. I put one under mine anyway. I found that it helps with keeping those initial rows of a floating floor in place instead of sliding around.

[@feyrband]

That should be covered in specific flooring's literature.

[@logicalblueberry]

So let me get this straight. In another video, you recommended purchasing an underpad from a store other than Home Depot (such as Floor & Decor). This underpad is sold at Home Depot but it's the best underpad? Is it more expensive than the type you recommended from Floor & Decor? Is it worth the extra cost or should I buy an underpad from Floor & Decor? Thank you.

[@jhirn2957]

I paid the tiny premium for this product and didn't realize all the benefits for ease of installation. Glad to know it's approved by Jeff!

[@utz716]

I have a small 6x6 concrete area I am putting floating floor on. I have had the boxes of flooring for a few months. I returned the junk underlayment I bought and ordered this!!! Love you guys!!

nice. Cheers!

[@brogamesh]

Hey Jeff! Thanks so much for the video. You've made a few videos on the topic, but I am curious about using underlayment with vinyl planks that have underlayment already on them. In a few videos, you have said that the underlayment that is attached to vinyl are insufficient. BUT, putting underlayment under some vinyl planks with underlayment voids their warranty. Do you still add this extra AbaTec underlayment if the panel has it's own underlayment and that risks the warranty? Thanks!

[@ArtOfTheWeld]

no reply?

[@MiseryMachine]

I'd like to know the answer to this as well.

[@michelleallen7394]

Did you ever find an answer to this elsewhere?

I was literally researching underlayments last night. Perfect timing!

[@robertgiresi9515]

Thanks Jeff. Lots of positives for using this underlayment instead of DMX 1-Step. I understand you're not allowing yourself to mention the EVA flooring underlayment by name, but as a commenter I can. Anyhow, it looks like the best pricing for this underlayment is ordering online from Home Depot since. The link you provided has this at $0.75 sq/ft, but if you buy direct from Home Depot (in the USA) it costs $0.51 sq/ft. Thanks for another informative video.

it all comes down to logistics. Hopefully one day soon we will figure out better pricing on flooring products. Cheers!

Is the EVA flooring underlayment better than this Abatech underfloor for reducing sound?

[@kernelpickle]

The only downside is that you won’t be giggling to yourself nearly as much during the installation if the song “X Gon’ Give It to Ya” happens to be playing. Maybe that’s a non-issue for most folks, but I always enjoy things that have a coincidental musical theme to them. I suppose you could throw on some “Dancing Queen” and make do with this stuff, if that’s your thing. It seems like going from AbaTec to ABBA is a bit of stretch, but maybe it’s just me.

[@sansaranirvana6859]

I bought this product based on your recommendation and against the advice of our contractor who said that in his experience and the flooring guy at lowes this underlayment should not be put under our CALI Vinyl Pro with Mute Step Interlocking Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring. He said that because the flooring goes together with tongue and groove locking system that the underlayment could cause the flooring to "give" and the more the flooring "gives" the more stress it causes on the tongue and groove connection. So I hope that I have done the right thing choosing to go ahead with this underlayment anyway. After having the contractor voice his concerns I watched many more of your videos and I noticed that you do not put this underlayment down before installing the vinyl plank flooring? Can you tell us why that is?

This video is a little old, but it's still great. I got a question. I'm thinking about doing the vinyl peel and stick. Would you recommend This product as an underlayment, or should I just go straight to the wood floor in my shed cabin

[@denisebey3395]

Question: when laying underlayment are you supposed to lay it perpendicular from the vinyl planks?

[@YT-User1013]

Question, does walking on the floor with this underlayment make it feel "spongy" (cheap feeling) and not like a solid floor? I don't like that feeling. I put engineered flooring in my basement with underlayment and it felt a little "spongy" and cheap.

[@tarabeam2670]

Should the sheets be taped together before the floor is installed? When I add the underlayment to the cart at Home Depot, tape is recommended.

[@acwren3749]

Jeff I like this product a lot, but I have to ask is it necessary to use this product if the laminate I am planning to install already has an attached 2mm underlayment? (Pergo Outlast plus is the product and the company only allows their version of this product to be added underneath their product because of "chemical" compatability. You can check their instruction guide to see what I am talking about. The Pergo version of the "easy cut" is retailing at $79 for 100 square feet. Pretty pricey to me. I'd like to know If I can simply put a good vapor barrier down under the Pergo Outlast?

If installing LifeProof LVP on a concrete floor in a basement in a 20 year old house would you rather do a subfloor with a dimple mat and OSB or this product and just the LifeProof flooring?

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

both options are fine. However the subfloor will protect your space in the event of water getting in if the exterior is not waterproofed. Cheers!

Also, adding this product to Lifeproof voids the lifetime warranty

[@jamezww]

I'm starting to install vinyl planks that has built in underlayment (rubber) and without knowing i also picked up some underlayment like you show in this video. I see people say not to use underlayment in that case because of the locking issues you point out, but this underlayment seems different as it's thinner and compressed. You also mention that it's ok to use this type of underlayment because of it's density. I've already got the underlayment cut and laid out in one room and was about to start laying planks...then i figured I should try to make sure it's ok first. In your opinion, do you think it's ok to have extra when the plank has underlayment attached? I'm on a concrete floor...which is flat, at least in this first room. Thanks for all the video's...super helpful!

[@charinabottae]

How did your project work out? Did the additional underlayment cause any issues?

[@mattklump]

Jeff, would you use this with vinyl plank that already has 'underlayment' attached? Like Lowes' Smartcore Ultra. I didn't use any on my install directly on slab, and it sounds like hollow plastic when walking on it.

[@PandemicGameplay]

I have Smartcore and I didn't use an underlayment just standard OBS and they turned out great. Smartcore is like 7-8mm I believe which is a good thickness I wouldn't not use an underlayment for anything under 5mm. Some of their cheapest floors like Procore are complete ass.

Im installing vinyl plank on my washroom and realize the floor is not even..Can I put two or three layers of this to level the floor before installing the vinyl plank?

[@Jacob_Studer]

Two questions. First, I have heard the waterproof vinyl flooring is better than the waterproof laminate when used in a bathroom. Is that generally true? Second, I have been thinking that even if the flooring I get has an attached underlayment that I would put an underlayment like you have here in the video down first and then put the flooring. Just as a second layer of protection against water getting onto the osb. Is this a good idea? Any other tips for preventing water damage to the OSB when installing vinyl or laminate in a bathroom?

It seems the floor under the cabinet was just slab and there is a 8th inch one side and half inch the other side difference in the floor level. I am using Henrys 345 to fill in the difference layer by layer to build up the half inch side and it is taking forever to dry. I am now thinking I made a mistake and should have used self leveling concrete.

One thing that wasn't super clear on this specific video, when taping the seams, what do you with seams that end on the corners of the walls?! Do you tape them to the concrete wall if you have access? If you don't do you tape the edge on the cement floor directly?! Curious cause I have an unfinished maintenance room/mancave that was bought with carpet directly above cement floor that has no vapor barrier, so since I might change that in the near future, wanted to know how to properly make this moisture proof on the edges of the room.

Adhesive sealant would be needed if going direct to concrete, maybe tape on top after that, but I wouldn't trust tape alone long term on concrete. Might be able to tape it to the vapor barrier where it's stapled at the bottom plate as well
