To add more comfort and cushioning benefits, it is best to still put an underlayment underneath a waterproof vinyl flooring. Installing an underlayment before placing your waterproof vinyl flooring will help in making your floors extra-protected against moisture.
Indeed, installing an underlayment can provide much more benefits and it can even enhance the individual features of your waterproof vinyl flooring.
If you have a concrete base floor or subfloor, it is best to put an underlayment that is thick enough to provide a great cushion. Also, there are lots of waterproof vinyl floors that are not that comfortable enough to stand and walk on, that’s why thicker underlayments are more necessary.
Furthermore, if your base floor is hardwood or plywood, it is best to look for an underlayment that offers added insulation and protection against moisture.
