ROBERTS First Step Premium Underlayment - 100 sq. ft. Roll - 40" x 30' x 2 mm

Cheaper than the box stores and more for the money. Easy to install, similar quality and thickness to what in-store, easy to cut and fit into desired area, softness dunno about that but it aids with insulating between existing subfloor and the new one being installed.

Did its job!!

For the price I can'r really complain. You get a good product for a fraction of what you would pay for a similar product from the big name stores. It seems to do the trick. I installed this upstairs and in the downstairs bedroom. I have two small children and the noise level is reduced. the attached adhesive strip helps also. It's enough to hold it in place but also allows you to move it around if need be. I really don't have any experience with any other underlayment but this seems to do the trick.

Great for sound and noise reduction in floors.

The contractor that installed the floor seemed to be happy with this material. It gave the floor a nice finished feel walking around. No extra noise with just a hint of cushion. Time will tell on durability and moisture repellent quality.

I selected this underlayment because of a requirement to dampen sound for flooring in our second floor unit, and because it said it would help correct minor floor imperfections.We didn't work too hard to make sure we created a proper moisture barrier, especially since the condition of the concrete pad we were laying the floor on was awful. We had to do a lot of work trying to arrest the decomposition of the concrete into sand. I should have used self-leveling floor prep, but I didn't want to take the time for such a small space. We used pool sealer and concrete patch. This underlayment did help account for some unevenness. In a few places, we used two layers, with a small section taped securely underneath the full roll.We are a month in, but it does seem like it has a nice feel to it, and it doesn't squeak or shift that we can tell. I'll update if anything changes, but i would buy it again. It was a good price and a good product.

I had never installed hardwood floors before. First step is easy to lay down, and it is very durable. We knelt on it, walked on it, etc. The only time it tore was when I dropped a plank on from an angle. Anything would tear in that circumstance. The floors "feel" good when you walk on them. I can't say bad things about other products having never used them, but I can very highly recommend First step.

This product makes my luxury vinyl plank feel like it has a softer feel to it. Install your floor properly and this will treat you well. Ive installed 300sq/ft of this so far and no complaints. One sealed edge mates to the non-adhesive edge and lays out great.
