Question 8 : Is additional padding necessary underneath Wilsonart Flooring?

Answer: No, but it's recommended in some cases (depending on the type and condition of the sub floor). And, it provides an extra flexibility or "give" which enhances the floor's ergonomic comfort.

Wilsonart 2-in-1 Pad combines a polyethylene film layer with a traditional foam pad. It can be used in almost any application, and is especially effective on below-grade or concrete slab surfaces. Wilsonart Acoustic Cushion provides additional sound-proofing. It helps diminish the "hollow sound" associated with other brands of laminated flooring in a slim 3/16-inch profile.

Neither underlayment is included in the base price of Wilsonart Flooring; so check with your local Wilsonart Dealer to determine whether additional padding is appropriate for your particular floor.
