Floor Prep & Underlayments Play a Big Role in Flooring Installing

The layers between the sub-floor and the vinyl click floor covering have grown increasingly technical in recent years, and they play an out-sized role in the success of rigid-core flooring installations. The field is competitive, and suppliers to this segment are constantly innovating, making products that are greener, cleaner and faster.

There is no shortage of issues that these materials need to address: moisture mitigation, acoustical abatement, crack isolation, mold prevention, comfort underfoot and of course, adhesion.

 

Providers of underlayments and floor prep materials have likewise gone through significant transformations in recent years. Most suppliers which originally offered a narrow and specialized range of products have now created even more specialized products or have expanded their range significantly. At TopJoy, you can get all the floor prep materials together with SPC click flooring.

At the same time, hard surface flooring has been trending for decades, and the ascent of rigid LVT products over the last five years has pushed that trend even further. These hard surface floors are escalating the transmission of sound between floors generated by impacts on the floor from foot traffic and moving or rolling objects that transfers down through the ceiling to the floor below. In the commercial market, this is a huge issue in sectors like corporate and library, where people are occupying multiple levels ad ceilings are lower. The underlayments and floor prep materials can make a difference in this area.
