Types of Underlays, Costs, Advantages and Disadvantages

This section explains the options, prices, pros and cons of your luxury vinyl flooring underlayment. In the next two sections, we'll discuss the best underlayment choice based on the subfloor and type of vinyl flooring you're installing. Plywood underlayment

A first choice for use under tile, plywood is sometimes installed specifically to serve as an underlayment for vinyl flooring, but more commonly sheet vinyl flooring. Note: Where floor height permits, underlay padding may be installed over the plywood prior to installing the vinyl flooring. WPC: Wood-plastic composite vinyl is softer and has a little more "bounce". For this reason, a thinner foam or felt underlay is best to avoid a spongy feel and the potential damage that floor flexing can cause.
