1/4" thickness 90 sqft

So we decided to redo the first floor of our house with engineered hardwood. We purchased the flooring and when it came in stacked it in the garage and called the contractor. Being a little naive I assumed that the roll out underlayment would be easy and appropriate, but wanted to hear from the contractor on his thoughts. Our contractor looked at our flooring and asked us if we wanted it to feel solid but with a little cushion, or do we just want to protect the bottom of the flooring. I said both so he told us to look at some thicker underlayments at Home Depot. We live in Hawaii, so thats pretty much the go to place, that or Lowes for bulk and cheap. I did look on Amazon and I saw the Steico Underlayment. Our contractor had never used it, but the advertised quality and benefits of a thicker underlayment were attractive. Ordered them and the contractor found that they were very easy to install. The only add was that he recommended gluing them down as we are on a concrete slab and was worried about them shifting. They installed the Steico glued down in one day and then the flooring in the next two. I can tell you it was worth it. Our neighbor used the same flooring with cheap thin underlayment and really regrets it. Our floors feel like hard wood and has just a bit of give. We are very happy with the Steico underlayment and highly recommend it if you want a good solid feel, good protection from water and ease of installation. UPDATE...so it has been almost a year and still the floor is fantastic. No depressions. Still has the little bit of cushion giving the engineered hardwood the feel of real wood floors. So happy we tried Steico. Highly recommended.

Excellent product!! Installed myself with a friend under 5mm LVT click-lock planks. I am very happy with this choice. First, underlay comes in sheets and it is so much less headache than rolls. Second, I really loved the sturdiness of the boards, floor feels very stable. A few years ago I used somewhat “foamy” underlayment and it was so annoying how locks slightly but noticeably bended and squeaked while walking, so now I decided to choose something else and it worked as advertised. Third, I did not do any leveling of the concrete and that saved me both money and time. At the beginning I was little skeptical because the concrete was a bit uneven, so we tried it on a small area. It worked great and we decided to go ahead and install it all. This fiber material absorbs the bumps from the downside and keeps it straight from the top level. For the sound transmission we have noticed that running steps of our boys sound softer, but it was not an issue from the beginning. Overall, installation took one day and it was easy, recommend!

I installed this product underneath my vinyl flooring. It was very easy to install and use. It can be easily cut to the desired shape. It works great for dampening sound too. The only drawback is the amount of dust it creates during installation, especially if you're cutting this to shape. It's not a huge deal but it is something you should prepare for. The dust is very persistent as well as it took several rounds of vacuuming and steam mopping to finally get rid of it.

Great at what it’s meant for.

I'm just going to start out by saying that I am a DIYer, not a professional of any kind! Ioriginally purchased this from Lowes in the 6mm thickness, and have installed it in 2 bedrooms and a hallway so far. I find it very easy to install and it works really well over my slightly uneven floors (my house is 91 years old so there's only so much that can be done!). It does make a lot of green dust when you cut it and walk on it, and I really detest the way it feels on my feet, but once you install your flooring over top that isn't an issue anymore. I will definitely update this review if I run into any future problems! I needed one more package of this and decided to purchase from Amazon because I thought it would be faster. It probably was, but shipping did not do my underlayment any favors. The box was partially open, and I'm not sure if it was just damaged in shipping or if they sort of wrapped the package in cardboard and sent her out. Anyways, the plastic covering the underlayment was torn open, the ends are all chipped off and the box was basically falling apart when I received it. It's usable, but I will definitely not be purchasing this from Amazon when I get around to redoing my downstairs office.

It is hard to write a complete review of this product because I am in an upstairs condo unit and can't really say how the neighbors below feel about the noise transmission. Let's just say that they have made no complaint. These pieces of underlayment are easy to put down (I have to confess that I didn't put them in at a 45 degree angle to the flooring). The first package gave us a lot of green dust, but later packets seemed not to. I suspect that the difference was that after box 1 (I used 8 boxes), I figured out that the best way to "cut" these pieces was by using a straightedge and scoring the piece with a chisel or screwdriver and then just folding on the scoring -- easier, cleaner and faster than using a blade. This product also had the highest Delta IIC rating I could find for an underlayment. The ratings for underlayment are very misleading. They show ratings for IIC and STC that are based on particular configurations of concrete and wood joist subfloors that may exist somewhere, but probably not in my 1980's condo. The Delta IIC, on the other hand, provides a rating that indicates how the underlayment performed in deadening impact noise when added to a subfloor. Thus it is a measure of how the product adds to a subfloor configuration. Maybe this isn't the best way to judge, but when 1/4" of cork has a Delta IIC of 24, you get a pretty good picture that perhaps this 3mm with a Delta IIC of 25 is the real deal for sound deadening. I had used some roll foam underlayment in two closets and it was a pain in the butt to roll out and get to lie down. These lie flat from the get go and it was much easier to lay down.

Used as underlayment for the peel and stick, self adhesive vinyl tiles. It is not recommended for that type of tile, but seemed to me to be perfect for what I was looking for, so I tried it anyways: worked like a charm! Laid down easily, stayed in place with just a small piece of regular lasking tape, and the tiles stuck to it with no problem. *I did use one tiny dot of construction adhesive on the corners of each tile to make sure it stuck.* Project turned out beautifully! I advise getting a whole package of new razor blades, this stuff cuts easily by scoring with a sharp blade and then folding, but a dull blade just rips and tears in an UNhelpful manner. It's also a simpleatter to fill in small gaps from measuring or cutting wrong, simply cut or find a scrap that is the right size and tape it into place.

I used this floor underlayment on a 360 sq ft floating floor. It worked great, installed very easily. You can cut it with a simple swipe of a utility knife and then a bend and the product will break on your line. It WILL make a ton of green dust everywhere while you are installing. After installation our floor was solid and it does seem to have a sound dampening property because it is noticeably quieter in our basement under this floor than previously.

leider wurden nur ca 8,5 qm geliefert anstatt der wie beschriebenen 90qm, das liegt vermutlich daran das die einheiten falsch bzw gar nicht umgerechnet wurden ich habe wie schon beschrieben 90sqft erhalten. ALLE PRODUKTE VON STEICO KANN ICH NUR EMPFEHLEN....

Excellent sound proofing, I used the 1/4 inch, had it sent up from the States. It costs 1/2 the price of cork. Don't use the red tape as it's useless, use the blue instead. Also have the shop vac handy... I did my condo 1100 sq. ft.

Love the product. Very easy to work with and handled the imperfections with my existing floors with ease. Besides this product being exactly what I needed for my laminate floor install, the customer service from the Sunco America team was excellent. I had an issue with one of the packages and they immediately took action to make sure I was satisfied....I really appreciate top notch service...thanks again.
