First Step 630-Square Foot Roll Underlayment

Easy to put down. Nice feel. Would get again

A quality underlayment product that is very easy to install, feels good underfoot, and does dampen sound transmission. I installed this on the second floor of my house in my childrens bedrooms under engineered hardwood. Rolling out the product, cutting, and joining sections was very straight forward. The flap over tape is super handy and reduces the need to buy and employ even more products. Product sits down well and did not tear even as I walked, squatted, stretched, etc on it while installing the hardwood. I did a side by side test to feel and hear the engineered hardwood with and without the underlayment and the difference was noticeable. Price was right and shipping was quick. I would use this again and recommend it to others.

Great stuff. Install is easy largely because of the built in joint tape. It helps dampen sound and surprisingly, my floor is warmer than with the last underlay. Square footage is accurate as it was just enough to cover what I had measured.

Can't stress enough how happy I am with this product. Great performance and quality. Saved roughly $400 from buying at the big "Orange" home store. I would highly recommend using this!I have installed 5 floating floors and this is the first time I used this product. Any floating floor I every do will be with this going forward. The product is fantastic. Very easy to work with. The overlap adhesive worked well for me and I had minimal mess from the white balls. Used household scissors to cut this.Installed the cheapest floor I could find (in stores) on top of this. It takes all of the echo/hollow sound out of it. As well as gives nice cushion and warmth. This application went right over a poured concrete floor. The finished piece compared to the bare concrete was noticeably warmer.

Previously we had used quietwalk, and was very satisified.This time we had a larger area to do, and decided to try this underlay to save a few costs. This was based on the STC ratings which are almost the same.Its easy to install with the built in tape, although the little styrofoam bubbles can get messy when cutting.Its pretty good, but going from carpet to laminate we hear a bit more noise than before. I keep thinking the quietwalk would have been worth the upgrade. Although, roberts also makes a felt underlay as well but we couldnt get it in time.
