Use this material under your hardwood floor. Do not staple it, but let it float. Overlap edges about 2 inches. This material is a great moisture barrier for the underneath surface of the flooring. This minimizes the cupping of the planks.

This was my first floor installation and was easy. It brightened the room and everyone that sees it says it looks great.

It was the darkest felt paper I have ever seen.
from Toledo, Ohio on 10/25/2008
Jerels Dillon and Kris Holtgreen both recommended the felt paper to go under my solid wood floor. They advised that the paper would protect my investment and I trusted their expertise.[...] I received throughout the entire process of purchasing my floor. It was a pleasant experience to work with such professional people and I would recommend them and the products to anyone.

I love my new floors - [...]the store went over and above working with me.
from Lansing, Mi on 10/7/2008
This is a definite must for nailing down hardwood.
It helps prevents squeaks between the subfloor and the hard wood. More impressive was the quality of the Brazilian cherry flooring I bought. Excellent price for the quality...
from Newton, Ks on 10/4/2008
great for underlayment between subflooring and new oak floor
from Columbia, SC on 10/1/2008
What's not to love? I am a rabid DIY and always hunting a bargain. This saved me over 30%. Keep it up. I have told my neighbors when they admire my work about the bargains and savings.

The floor has enhanced the looks of our family room. We will be replacing other floors in the future. We will return.
from Abingdon, VA on 8/23/2008
The previous flooring was press and stick vinyl tiles, removing them left a sticky surface. The tar paper easily covered the sticky residue so pet hairs are no longer a problem since it will take me a while to lay all the hardwood. The tar paper is a good base for the oak flooring, it allows the oak to slide but doesn't move itself.
The main problem I had was that the tar smeared the walls, but I was able to clean it off with denatured alcohol.

15#felt is only to be used to ease installation, helps wood slide together easier for nail down installation. also helps deaden noise ie pops and crackles. felt has no moisture barrier capabilities per national organization of flooring manufacturers of america "nofma".
from Ocean View, DE on 8/18/2008
This was the first attempt to install a hardwood floor. The job went with out a hitch and looks terrific.

from Bellevue, WA on 8/11/2008
The designated purpose of the product is moisture barrier. This is difficult to prove unless to make an experiment in your own home. So we all have to trust it :) One this that I did find handy about the product is using it as a leveler for minor subflooring flaws. Like I have good deal of deeps (depressions) but using plywood self-leveling compound appears to much. So what I do is just cut pieces of the product of different sizes and my it level. Wooks very nicely. BTW, don't ignore Quiet Walk underlayment - it make such a huge difference.

from Raleigh, NC on 7/30/2008
Next time, I would probably get something thicker. This is not the fault of the product, just my choice. The product is fine, but I would recommend a thicker under-covering.
from Bellevue, WA on 7/28/2008
I have the main floor over garage and basement. Decided to install felt paper regardless for extra insulation. Very easy to lay down and work with. Turned out to be useless in noise reduction so after I finished with my dining room, I got Quiet Walk product, which I love from that perspective but it is a separate story. I am going to use felt over concrete in basement. This is where it is supposed to be the best for. Will also put in on my stairs because I have no idea what is below them.
from Michigan on 7/20/2008
Tar is sticky, but what ya gonna do? Gotta have it, but since we JUST installed the floor, haven't had time to compare, and we replaced carpet with wood. LOVE the Bellawood!! Nothing to compare to this point, time will tell. So far, so good!
from Jackson, Ms on 7/14/2008
We used the product ontop of a plywood subfloor before installing a Laminate floor. The floor was easy to work and looks great.

Love the new floor but employees OVER ESTIMATED amont needed so now we have 1 1/2 boxes of flooring left over with nothing to do with it!
from Kneeling in Wheeling, WV on 7/11/2008
I mean, what's not to like about 15 lb felt paper? Good sound barrier, keeps the moisture at bay (something I don't get to say often), and comes in a convenient (yet heavy) roll. Make sure you wear knee pads or an old pair of jeans, because you'll ruin the knees of your britches otherwise.
from Napoleon, Ohio on 6/24/2008
I used the felt paper under my hardwood floors. I laid it in the opposite direction of which I laid my flooring. It helps with the noise level throughout the house and was easy to use.
from Monroe, GA on 6/15/2008
We installed the felt paper and then the bamboo floors ourselves. It took 3 days but they are just beautiful. It was hard work but easier than I thought it would be. Love those lock in place floors. My house looks gorgeous. Thanks.
from jackson, mississippi on 6/12/2008

underlayment
from Hampton, VA on 5/13/2008
The Felt paper in used under the hardwood floor as an underlayment. It served it's purpose; ie. reduced noise and protects the wood floor because it's a moisture barrier.
from Dublin, Ohio on 5/9/2008
Product was necessary for added protection to my hardwood flooring.
from Jackson, Mississippi on 4/29/2008
It's roofing felt, you unroll it and put the Laminate on top. What more needs to be said.
from Vancouver, WA on 4/29/2008
laid it over subfloor and under 3/4" hardwood. good vapor barrier & sound barrier.
from Louisville, KY on 4/26/2008
Felt Paper was easy to roll out and cut but did not want to stay flat.
The Bellawood Teak w/5" plank 3/4" thick went down very nice. The felt paper makes a nice sound & moisture barrier.
Love the Bellawood Teak floor.

IT LOOKED SIMPLE ENOUGH TO USE
from nortonville, ky on 4/22/2008
we didn't use the felt paper, we had to end up using glue. i'm sure it would have worked fine if we had used it. we love the wood, it looks beautiful.

from Swanton, OH on 2/12/2008
Felt paper is rather simple stuff. When you overlap, keep in mind that surface thickness increases a bit and you may need to tap the flooring into place. Don't panic.
Felt paper is a good idea to control water vapor from below.
That's about it, pretty simple stuff.
OH yeah, it works great with finished pine floor.
