It needs a layer of underlay or underlayment to cushion the laminate planks and ensure a comfortable durable finished floor. Once cut the flooring will just slip under it leaving a more finished look.

While the subfloor provides the foundational support for the room the underlayment is what supports the flooring material itself intended to enhance and protect the flooring. It s much easier to cut the trim around doorways than it is to cut the flooring to match the moulding s irregular shape. Laminate flooring is engineered to perform as part of a system. We carry a large selection of underlayment to absorb sound and prevent moisture damage as well as laminate floor moulding and trims to create a clean cohesive look.

All laminate flooring requires an underlayment which can range from inch thick sheets of cork to rolls of 6mm or 8mm thick felt or foam. But the hard laminate material doesn t lie directly onto that surface. If needed take a plank of flooring and a section of the underlayment and lay it finished side down next to the door s moulding. The underlayment is as important to the success of an installation as is the flooring itself.
