Comments about Dream Home 6mm 2' x 3' Cork Underlayment Sheet:
I installed this as the sole underlayment of my engineered floating floor. The cork comes in large sheets that go down easy. When cutting, use a very sharp knife, or even scissors, as cutting the cork is like cutting carpet pad. It's chunky and will chunk all over the place as you try and drag a knife through it.
The cork does a good job of insulating some sound and gives the floating floor a good amount of support. The one con I can think of is that this product comes in very inflexible 150 square foot boxes. I would have like to have purchased maybe 60 square feet at a time and not had to waste so much.

The product is so so. Had to be very carefull with it not to break it out of the box, but once down was easy to place and you didn't have to deal with the rolled cork so no ends flaired up

Comments about Dream Home 6mm 2' x 3' Cork Underlayment Sheet:
I purchased this product because I needed additional cork underlayment. The product that I had purchased could not be found locally & I opted for the Dream House Cork Underlayment. As soon as I opened the box, I noticed that a few sheets were crumbled. It looked like graham crackers. We had to pick up each sheet delicately so that it wouldn't break. Had I known, I would have waited a few weeks to purchase the other brand I had which was much stronger & durable. I would never purchase this cork nor would I recommend it.

this was great stuff. it went under our rustic maple and over a very rickety old floor-- about 100 years old. but this stuff made a wobbly floor feel super solid. it reduced noise between floors by at least half-- which is amazing. i am very glad we went with the think stuff. this makes the floor feel really solid and well made... we're super happy.

This is the best underlayment I have used for a cork floor. I used it in a basement room where my daughter practices her guitar, cello and percussion instruments. It really cut down the noise. I would recommend this product to anyone and will definitely use it again.

I have a concrete floor that has been painted over and finished with a clear sealant. It is chipping up and I want to put bamboo over it now. I really wish to avoid having to scrape off the rest of the paint from the concrete and prepare the concrete in any way.

Or what would you suggest I do I order to have secure flooring that will last.1 answer

If you want a glue down bamboo product the cork underlayment would also need to be glued down first and the prep work of the slab will need to be done.Q:
