ROBERTS 100 sq. ft. Unison Premium 2-in-1 Underlayment

Worked great!

After recently taking on the responsibility for raising my two boys (3 and 9 years old), I found that my living arrangements weren't going to work. My parents kindly decided to help out by letting me build an apartment in their basement. The Unison 2-In-1 underlayment was the perfect solution for breaking direct contact with the concrete. I used it not only under the laminate flooring, but under the free-floating vinyl in the bathroom and kitchen too. Not only does it make bare feet in the bathroom reasonably comfortable, it also softened the surface considerably. And while the laminate floors require socks at a minimum, they are also less chilly than they should be.We had originally been thinking about furring strips with narrow cavities and more substantive insulation, but with only 81" in the highest areas and considerably less under the ducts (especially with drywall cladding), we realized we would need every inch possible. This material was the perfect solution. While a little more insulation might have been nice, there is no way we could have found better insulation at 3/16th of an inch. And after discovering just how comfortable the vinyl floors are with this underneath, I will never lay another vinyl floor without it. It really makes for a very nice combination of softening the surface and making it quite a bit warmer - very efficiently reflecting the heat from your feet, right back through the heavy vinyl surface.And of course the price is unbeatable. I started this project having to buy two rolls from Home Depot - at $25.95 per roll. I bought the last four rolls here on Amazon for $14.95 per roll. With Amazon prime my shipping was free and they were here in just a couple of days. It seems odd to buy building materials online and indeed for many materials it really isn't cost effective, but I have learned to check here first, because you never know.

Underlayment for vinyl flooring

Excellent value! This underlayment by Roberts, provides a vapor barrier, enough padding to make the laminate flooring over cement quiet and comes with an adhesive strip attached. I spent time researching different product options and pricing and I'm certain I found the best deal available! It was very easy to use and being a Amazon Prime member, shipping was FREE!!! I highly recommend this Roberts 2 in 1 underlayment!

It's really easy to cut, a little squishy so it absorbs some of the imperfections of the concrete underfloor. Glad I went with it. Wish the sticky bits were wider since they peeled off themselves really easily, otherwise great!
