Underlayment for Lifeproof flooring
Joe! Thank you for the wonderful resource. I’m preparing to install Life proof Dusk Cherry LVP in a number of rooms in my home. I read through the installation instructions from the manufacturer. The flooring I’ve chosen comes with an attached underlayment. The manufacturer has indicated that I can also add the Life proof universal underlayment if I choose to.
In your experience, is there any benefit to the additional underlayment? I’m installing on a second floor that has a hallway, 4 bedrooms, 1 laundry room, 1 bathroom, and a few walk in closets. I have 3 small children, so noise mitigation may be a factor.
Thanks!
Tim

Yes, there is a benefit to using additional underlayment and if your manufacture states you can, then I would do it. You will have a more solid feel when walking on it and a lot more sound deadening.

I was looking at this as well. The underlayment approved by home depot was running $60 for 100 square feet. That seems like a lot of money so I am thinking of skipping this and just go with a vapor barrier.

I decided to use it. It appears to be a very thin piece of styrofoam.

I have not used that underlayment, I only use quiet walk!
