Best Underlayment For Floating Floors
Today I’m discussing my favorite underlayment for laminate, vinyl and hardwood floors. I have 11 reasons why I prefer this underlayment to others on the market (see chapters), and I go through each of these reasons in today’s video. Installing a new floating floor provides an excellent return on investment when you do it yourself, and if you use the right underlayment you can also control sound, moisture, and the imperfections that come from years of foot traffic.
