360 Sq Ft Acoustical Underlayment with Vapor Barrier for Luxury Vinyl Flooring

I put this down before I laid my LVP flooring in 2021, have loved it ever since! Makes a cold kitchen a totally cozy hangout on those chilly mornings. Set it and forget it, it has worked flawlessly. Just make sure your flooring is designed to handle it. Way cheaper and easier than running separate wires or hot water. Measure carefully before you order, you can easily trim the length, but can’t trim the width. I paired it with a Suntouch programmable thermostat, excellent. I installed this myself, so it was a fairly inexpensive project. I had to use a router on my subfloor to route the wiring and the thermostat sensor to the electric. I also installed 2 temp sensors. If the first one ever fails I can just attach the second without tearing up the floor. No problems so far!

Worked out great for our LVP installation. Used the red underlayment tape (Roberts) to seal joints and fix any nicks. The underlayment is not too thick as to cause any flexing with LVP joints, but still enough cushion to make walking on it pretty quiet.

Good Wo and insulating pad

6 foot length helped with quick install. Seems to work well with vinyl flooring

I laid down around 2500sq fr of Atlantis SPC LVT flooring. I really wanted the 6mm stuff but just about everything told me it’s too thick for the LVT I was using. Most people go with the plastic underlayment. And if that’s what you do, great. I went with this as it offers a little amount of spring, it isn’t so thick that it’ll cause the flooring to buckle or come apart. And it does significantly more sound damping and adds spring to floors we’re on all day. Now, I could have saved $850 and went with just the moisture barrier, and that would have been fine. So if you do that, and you’re putting this down on a floor you wear shoes on all the time. Do that. Save. But this is a floor my daughter runs around on, takes spills on and bounces around on. So any little padding is nice.Again, I’d have loved to to even higher. Use 6mm pad that disguises floor unevenness and such. But everything suggested using something 1mm or less. And this is the best of the best for that.Cost extra. But hopefully this is a one time cost that you never worry about again, but your feet and legs will be happy for 10 or more years because of.

Exactly what I ordered some of the best padding I've seen for floating flooring

I installed three rooms with this product. It's perfect for luxury vinyl laminate. Love the product!

This is the perfect underlayment for your lvp project. Levels out the imperfections in the the floor providing a vapor wicking system just in case any moisture gets underneath your lvp. Easy to use and cut. Although cutting is easier with scissors rather than a blade due to the fibers on the back.
