With the rise of vinyl plank flooring, MP Global Product introduces the first felt underlayment designed for vinyl plank flooring. With density in mind, we tweaked the fiber formula from our other popular QuietWalk for laminate flooring. Same benefits as the famous QuietWalk, just thinner/denser which eliminates movement when walking on vinyl plank flooring.
We’ve heard of other underlayment causing compression issues once they installed their LVP. This was due to the underlayment having to much “compression”. It can be costly for DIY or contractors to rip up the old flooring.
Can this be used with glue-down vinyl plank flooring?
Yes, QuietWalk Vinyl Plank underlayment can be used with double-glue flooring with a minimum thickness of 4mm.
The project is new construction of 19 small apartments with wood framed floors with 3/4″ Advantech subfloor and 1/4″ plywood underlay for glue down 2.5mm thick LVT. Is there any benefit to installing the Quiet Walk between the Advantech and the 1/4″ plywood underlayment and then gluing down the LVT directly to the 1/4″ plywood underlay? Could this result in a better performing floor than gluing the tile directly to the Quiet Walk Luxury Vinyl product? We still have the option.
Thanks,
Barrett
