If you intend to install new flooring, you are probably considering the design, colour, and material that will best suit your requirements and aesthetic preferences. Underlay for vinyl flooring, however, should also be taken into account.
Benefits of Flooring Underlay
- Hard underlay types smooth out subfloor flaws and help with load transfer where necessary to provide a smoother, more consistent surface.
- It might result in a more attractive final product.
- When a firm underlay is applied over yellow tongue or timber sub-floors, structural stability is increased.
- It reduces airborne noise from foot traffic and hollow sound.
- It aids in preventing harm from escalating underfloor moisture.
- In multi-level homes, it lessens structure-borne noise transmission.
- It softens and provides bodily comfort.
- By offering stability and security, it prolongs the life of the flooring.
What is the best underlayment for vinyl sheet flooring?
If vinyl flooring is installed on concrete, underlayment is often not needed. A floor preparation specialist is better equipped to handle an uneven surface. The preparation specialist will carry out a procedure called "Flooding" and "Grinding."
A self-leveling cement mix is used to smooth the floor after grinding the high points and filling the low spots. Masonite is definitely the underlay of choice for higher floors. Both FC sheet and ply would be effective, but Masonite is lighter, more manageable, and less expensive while still performing the same function for vinyl floors.
