When helping a customer select new flooring, don’t be short-sighted and rush to close the sale by throwing in a generic underlayment.

When providing a green flooring system for customers or clients, carry-through counts. Green underlayment under environmentally friendly commercial and residential flooring completes the deal.

Contractors, architects, distributors and retailers doing business with owners of new and renovating rental units and condos should recommend or specify acoustical floor underlayment for under new finished floors that meets or exceeds local building department acoustical standards.
