Underlayment

When putting in hardwood, laminate flooring or luxury vinyl it is important to use the right underlayment. Floating floors can be loud from the foot traffic, but it can be damped with underlayment. Underlayment can keep floors comfortable. It helps keep your floor warm and it acts as a cushion. It will also even out minor imperfections in the subfloor. Some flooring now comes with an attached pad.

Laminate and Humidity

Humidity levels are normally affected by season changes. Laminate floors will expand with high levels of humidity and contract with lower levels of humidity. During high humid times, the floor may look crowned and during dry cold weather laminate might shrink causing crack between each plan.  The best way to protect your flooring is by installing a humidity control.
