Does Trafficmaster Flooring Need Underlayment?
Caleb Butler 
In the process of laying new flooring, underlayment is just as important as the actual flooring itself. Laminate and engineered wood floors are great candidates for TrafficMaster’s 3-in-1 floor underlayment. The reflective film barrier improves the thermal and moisture properties of the floor and can be used above or below grade.
