Is underlayment necessary with waterproof flooring?

When choosing waterproof vinyl flooring, you'll find it has extensive benefits that are sure to serve your entire family. One of those benefits is underpadding, and you may wonder if it's a necessity with your installation.

The truth is that padding isn?t always necessary, but it is always beneficial, adding more benefits to your new waterproof flooring experience. Here are some facts that give you more clarity on the situation.

What is an underlayment?

Underlayment is a thin piece of foam, rubber, or felt that greatly benefits any flooring experience. For example, using one for a waterproof or water-resistant flooring installation provides extensive benefits that are sure to meet many needs.

Benefits of underlayment

It's a great choice if you need a vapor barrier with extra benefits like noise reduction, giving floating floors a less hollow sound. But it can also guard against moisture that could otherwise harm your new floors.

You'll also find that subfloor imperfections are less likely to transfer through your new flooring materials. But many products also offer ratings for safe, clean indoor air quality, as required by some families today.
