Our recycled cotton floor underlayment smoothes out little sub floor imperfections while quieting impact sound and floor to ceiling noise. Although it is promoted as an upgrade underlayment taking the place of poly foam, it doesn't carry a heavy upgrade price when compared to cork or rubber. Some advantages include:

• 1/8" thick
  
• Over 80% post-industrial recycled fibers
  
• Superior sound absorption due to unique manufacturing process
• Added R-Value of .5 helps keep floor warm in the winter and cool in the summer
• Advanced moisture wicking and evaporation technology
• Safe anti-microbial component resists mold and bacteria
• High density supports overlaying floor
• Flexibility hides minor sub-floor imperfections
• Cost effective
  

Installation Instructions

1. Be sure the sub floor surface is clean and dry
2. Roll underlayment over the sub floor with the vapor barrier film (blue side) facing up.
3. The perimeter edges of underlayment need to be 1/2 to 3/4 inches away from the wall.
4. Seams need to be butted together flush, do not overlap the pad. Tape the seams with water and tear resistant, utility-grade, poly-coated cloth backed tape that has a very aggressive adhesive (duct tape).
5. Install flooring according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
