Felt paper is felt paper and makes a good backing for floor. What else can be said?

I used this under a bamboo floor. It was easy to work with, no tears, no squeaks. Much better than the pink paper.

Used the felt under pre-finished hardwood flooring. It was very easy to install and the lines helped line the felt up on the floor. Be sure to wear gloves...hands will turn gray.

IT'S ROOFING FELT, NOT MUCH TO GET EXCITED ABOUT

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

We purchased a little over 1000 sq ft of Brazilian Tigerwood Koa using a installer recommended by LL, and they were great. The product itself was perfect[...] We are so happy with the result...just walking from room to room with a big smile on my face. Thank you so much!!

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

This is the best Felt Paper I have used. It is so black and papery. It cuts with ease when using a sharpe cutting tool, like a knife.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

easy to use

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

I used this product under my new floor in the living room and dining room, which cover a crawl space. The rooms seemed to stay warmer in the cooler months, which is a big plus! Now I don't worry so much about getting dampness in the house through my floor boards.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

We've used red rosin paper in the past, this product was so much nicer to work with. It didn't tear as you tried to work with it. I don't know how much of a difference it will make, but it has to be better than just putting down a thin sheet of pink paper.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

The felt paper is the easiest part of the hardwood flooring installation. I found it better to lay the felt paper perpendicular to the hard wood flooring. Or parallel with the floor joist. A 3" overlap should be maintained.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

Don't set the roll on carpet, it leaves a mark.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

This item was recommended by the very helpful manager at my local LL store. We installed it with our gorgeous bamboo flooring (Morning Star-Horizontal-Natural color). The entire floor (felt paper and the hardwood) was very easy to install, great quality, etc. We will be going back to LL to purchase our other flooring!

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

It went down easy, I will use it throughout the house.

the tar paper was of good quality as far as tar papers go; actually the part of the purchase that really impressed me was the brazilian walnut flooring i bought. great quality, beautiful grain and color. also the sales staff was excellent, friendly and very helpful.thank you.lunital[@]

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

Tar paper is tar paper!

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

Great customer service, when the product was delivered the floor color was different from how it looked on the website. So I then showed a sample of what I got and what I was looking for and the company exchanged it without a problem. The only thing I would note if your installing the floor you self is make sure you get the proper nailing gun because different floor thickness require different size guns/ adjustments plates.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

This was a great item to use when installing our laminate floors. Easy to unroll and cut and stayed in place very well! The only thing I didn't like was that the windows were left open one day and shone on the rolls of this, which heated them up and made my house smell of tar for a couple days. Once I realized what it was I shut the curtains and moved the rolls into a different room. No problems from that point on.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

this product rolled out easy and had no problems

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

Just walked in the the KC store great selection Wow if I can't find what I want here then I am not going to find it. I bought a close out timberline Hardwood 400 Sq Ft $2.69 per Sq Ft Tavern grade rustic look was told 7% to 10% waste.
I had hardly no waste we used the boards with broken tounges or other problems in the closets. I am very pleased we marked all the joists for staples making it a good secure floor there are no squeaks its a great floor great product.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

It was installed by a contractor and I'm quite happy with it.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

I am building a workshop with a knotty pine ceiling, T111 walls and maple hardwood floors. The hardwood floors are the reject bundles purchased through lumber liguidators. I had to put down a vapor barrier, then 22/32 plywood, then the 15-lb felt paper, then nail the hardwood pieces together. It is still a work in process but coming along nicely. I'll try to include a pic.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

Would use it again in a heartbeat!

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

No bells and whistles. Its a product that does what it's supposed to do.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

It's used to provide a protective layer beneath the hardwood floor. Not much else that's exciting or extraordinary about it.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

Low cost underlayment for bamboo.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

I had a contractor friend help install my floor--and he'd never seen such excellent felt underlayment. He was astonished by it's quality and kept saying he wished he'd have had it when he put his own floor in a few years back. He brought some of his clients over to see it--and they got all excited. Great stuff--and easy as pie to install.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

I used it as a barrier between the hardwood and the subfloor. It's easy to cut to size with just a pair of scissors.
I only needed a small amount to do some repairs but they only sell it in 15 Lbs rolls...so I have a lot left...it can also be used for roofing (to put as a barrier under the shingles I believe), so I'm sure I'll use it eventually when we change our roof.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

easy to install,loved the texture of the wood grains,made a totally different look throughout the house....

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

Extremely pleased with the products we purchased from Lumber Liquidators. The floor is exquisite!

Quality is superb-- only 1 damaged piece of wood out of more than a dozen boxes, underlayment very well made & easy to use, hardly any waste of either. Beautiful product.

The best pricing, very competitive.

Good people to work with.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

we put the felt paper under our 2 1/2 oak floor as a moisture barrier. Lumber liquidators recommend it and it was not any problem to put down. It also helped us keep the wood lined up through the installation.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

Easy to Use! Lines are helpful to maintain straight lines for flooring!

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

The felt paper was easy to use since it was easy to roll it out and make straight cuts. With soft materials such as a plastic type material sometimes it's too soft to quickly measure and cut it since it tends to move out of place easily. The only bad thing about the felt paper is that the black coating on the paper gets all over the place and gets a little messy. It's a bit greasy so when you're trying to clean it up it tends to smear.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

Everyone loves it. It is the first thing people will comment on in my pad.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

We purchased the felt paper as an underlayment for our hardwood floors and although the sales person tried to sell us a more expensive underlayment stating it would cut down on squeaks and be warmer in the winter. This one seems to work just fine, there are some squeaks that I can live with and the floors are not as cold expected.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

Use my new flooring to redo my upstairs ( 3 bedrooms and hall way). When I finish this product. I am going to start downstairs. I will be using your flooring in some of the rooms.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

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.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

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

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

Easy to use and very good quality[...]

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

It was the darkest felt paper I have ever seen.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

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.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

Good product. Easy to use. Doesn't tear and no floor squeaks.

I love my new floors - [...]the store went over and above working with me.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

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...

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

great for underlayment between subflooring and new oak floor

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

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.

I had my floor install by quality woodpecker. so I can only comment on the bamboo product excellent I love it and the install it was great. I would always recommend LL and would also recommend the installer without hesitation. [...]

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

The floor has enhanced the looks of our family room. We will be replacing other floors in the future. We will return.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

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.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

Stops squeaks in the floor

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

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".

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

This was the first attempt to install a hardwood floor. The job went with out a hitch and looks terrific.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

Great selection, great staff, wonderful to work with.
Thanx!

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

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.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

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.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

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.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

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!

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

We used the product ontop of a plywood subfloor before installing a Laminate floor. The floor was easy to work and looks great.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

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!

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

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.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

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.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

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.

underlayment

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

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.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

Product was necessary for added protection to my hardwood flooring.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

It's roofing felt, you unroll it and put the Laminate on top. What more needs to be said.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

laid it over subfloor and under 3/4" hardwood. good vapor barrier & sound barrier.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

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.

The Hickory flooring we had installed is beautiful and at a nice price!!

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

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.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:

Slightly more sticky than expected.
