Underlayments

At DIYFlooring, we try to give you all the information so you can make an informed decision. And when tackling your own flooring project, you need a little more information than the average consumer.

Choosing the right flooring underlayment is key in not only determining the life of a floor, but how the floor lives. In other words, the better the underlayment, the better a floor feels, sounds and performs. It's the little things that make all the difference of the world, and getting the right underlayment can make or break your entire experience, from installation to your overall lifestyle.

In the early days of floating floors, the only underlayment option available was foam in varying densities and thickness.And while the better quality underlayments served their purpose, poly urethane foam isn't the most environmentally friendly product in the world. That's why at DIYFlooring, we're in love with cork underlayment.

Cork is the perfect material for flooring underlayment. It's sound absorbent, a great insulator, and maybe our favorite, every eco-friendly. As the material used to manufacture cork underlayment is harvested from the bark of a cork tree, there's never a need to take down one tree. It's the perfect combination of practicality, comfort and "green".

At DIYFlooring, not only do we bring you the easiest flooring to install, but everything you need to maximize comfort and performance. More importantly, all f it can be had for less than you pay anywhere else.
