Why Flooring Underlayments Stands Out
Flooring underlayments do more than “add a pad.” The correct underlayment supports your floor system, helps manage sound transfer, and can provide vapour planning over concrete (system dependent). At Squarefoot Flooring, we help homeowners and contractors compare options for laminate, engineered hardwood, vinyl plank, tile, and more across Ontario.

Start with the job: sound, moisture, or stability
Pick the performance you actually need
- Acoustic underlayment: helps reduce footfall noise and echo in condos and multi-level homes (product dependent)
- Vapour and moisture control: often required over concrete slabs and basements (system dependent)
- Compression resistance: protects locking joints by preventing “spongy” movement (product dependent)
- Thermal comfort: some systems help reduce the “cold floor” feel on concrete (system dependent)
Choose by flooring type
Compatibility is the ranking factor and the warranty factor
- Laminate underlayment: choose an approved pad with the right density, and plan vapour control for slab installs when required (system dependent)
- Engineered hardwood underlayment: common choices include acoustic foam or felt styles for floating installs when approved (product dependent)
- Vinyl underlayment (LVP/LVT): many floors limit thickness and softness, especially with attached pads, so use only manufacturer-approved underlayments (product dependent)
- Tile underlayment: tile needs a stable, tile-rated layer such as cement board or an uncoupling membrane like Schluter systems (product dependent)
Popular underlayment brands customers ask for
Ontario-friendly systems for real jobsite conditions
- QuietWalk underlayment: fibre-based options often chosen for sound control and moisture management (product dependent)
- DMX underlayment: dimple membrane styles commonly used for basements over concrete (system dependent)
- Roberts underlayment: practical pads for common floating floors (product dependent)
- Husssh underlayment: acoustic-focused options for condos and upper floors (product dependent)
- Schluter underlayment: uncoupling and waterproofing systems for tile installations (product dependent)
Common mistakes to avoid
What to confirm before you buy
- Do not stack extra underlayment under floors that already have attached pads unless the brand allows it (product dependent)
- Underlayment does not level a subfloor; fix dips and seams first with the right prep materials
- Over concrete, follow moisture testing and vapour control requirements (system dependent)
- For radiant heat, confirm the full floor + underlayment system approval (product dependent)

Still Have Questions?
Quick answers to the questions homeowners ask most before buying.
What does flooring underlayment do?
Flooring underlayment helps support the flooring system, improve comfort, reduce noise, and plan moisture control over concrete (system dependent). The right choice depends on your floor type and installation requirements.
What is the best underlayment for soundproofing in condos?
For condos, start with an approved acoustic underlayment matched to your flooring system (product dependent). Fibre and felt-style options are commonly chosen for impact noise reduction, but building and manufacturer requirements should guide your final pick.
Do I need a moisture barrier underlayment on a concrete slab?
Often, yes (system dependent). Many floating floors installed over concrete require vapour control and moisture testing. Follow the flooring manufacturer’s requirements for underlayment type and vapour barrier method to protect the floor and warranty.
Can I use the same underlayment for laminate and engineered hardwood?
Sometimes (product dependent). Some underlayments are approved for both laminate and engineered hardwood floating installs, but you must confirm the required density, thickness, and moisture control for your specific floor and room.
What underlayment should I use for vinyl plank flooring?
Vinyl plank underlayment must be manufacturer-approved (product dependent). Many LVP/LVT products restrict underlayment thickness and softness to protect locking joints and prevent movement, especially when the planks include an attached pad.
Is DMX underlayment good for basement floors?
DMX-style dimple membranes are commonly used for basements because they can help manage minor moisture and improve comfort over concrete (system dependent). Always confirm your flooring system approvals and slab conditions before installation.
Do I need Schluter underlayment for tile?
Tile requires a tile-rated substrate (product dependent). Uncoupling membranes like Schluter systems can help with movement management and crack isolation on demanding subfloors, while cement board can also be used depending on the application.
Can underlayment fix an uneven subfloor?
No. Underlayment is not a leveling product. For the best results, correct dips and seams using the proper patch or self-leveling compound, then install the underlayment approved for your flooring system.
