TrafficMaster Underlayment Customer Reviews
Lu - March 21, 2018
This is a really nice underlayment product. We used it under laminate flooring and it provides a cushion for walking on it while softening the noise. It was simple to install with a vapor barrier tape between rolls. We used it directly over the cement floor in the lower level to ensure any moisture there is prevented from reaching the flooring.

We used the underlayment to protect the new laminate we installed in our upstairs. The barrier protects from water and condensation and also provides a dampener between floor levels. It is very easy to cut with a utility knife and stays in place without too much effort. I highly recommend using this on ground floors and upstairs. The extra cushion helps level out floor boards.

I have installed this underlayment in one of my apartment I i can notice in lower apartment noise is cut down for more then 60% then regular one, in order to get regular one the same effect I usually instal the cardboard then regular white underlayment and noise was manageable in the unite below, what i'm trying to say this underlayment is perfect for upstair units and i see the benefits for condominium usage also it does have the water barrier installed on it which will protect your engineered hardwood floor it will minimise the expansion do to moisture coming out of concrete, and it will eliminate squeaky floors I reay like this product.
