Why is Underlayment So Important?

“Your floor is only as good as the surface it is installed over.” Recent innovations in laminate, hardwood, engineered wood and tile continue to exhibit the “hollow” or “pingy” sound with foot traffic, voices, radio, TV, etc. When Silent-Tread is the underlayment of choice, Silent-Tread absorbs the sound waves inside the room and blocks other sound transmission to the room below.

Silent-Tread incorporates antimicrobial additive to prevent the growth of mold, bacteria and algae. Silent-Tread XL (with vapor barrier) dissipates moisture, reducing potential harm to the flooring above and the subfloor below.

Silent-Tread is fabricated from thousands of small rubber granules and offers superior underfoot comfort for standing, walking or exercising. Other underlayments fail to provide the firmness necessary to resist compression from foot traffic and/or heavy furniture.
