Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:
I put this under a pre-finished, red oak floor. Noise was a non-issue. The room was interior, so heat transfer a non-issue.
This product works just fine for what I wanted. Very easy to cut and place on subfloor, easy to install planks onto paper and much less expensive than the other lines. This product is not for everyone, but worked for me.

Took it back and bought their best quality underlayment. Great product. Cost more but worth the expense when installing expensive hardwood flooring.

Roll the paper out before you put down your flooring to keep it from rubbing on your subfloor.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:
This product worked great & was less costly than that sold locally in other stores. We used it when installing our new Strand bamboo flooring over an older wood floor that was too stained & worn to refinish. Did the prep work, stapled the felt down & cleat nailed our new floor planks- NO SQUEAKS! Love it!!!

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:
About 10 feet into the roll, there was a fold that ran for about 8-10 feet. It caused a tear that made that part impossible to use at full width. Otherwise, fine.

Comments about 15LB Felt Paper:
The product unrolled easily and the lines on the paper helped to keep things straight. At one point it was left in the sunlight too long and melted a little bit. User error!

A:

I purchased a 12mm laminate with the pad attached from LL but have discovered some dips and valleys in the wood sub-floor on the upstairs level where this will be installed. Could this felt paper be used to level out the floor and then a vapor barrier over it. If so, is there any problems with the anything in this felt paper that would eat or deteriorate the vapor barrier or padding on the laminate??? Thanks1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Felt paper can be used to level low areas and won't eat the padding.Q:
can i use this as underlayment for non padded laminate flooring1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
No. This is a good vapor barrier but not used under floating flooring. You can use either Foam Underlayment, Eco Silent Sound, Bellawood Premium Underlayment, or Quiet Walk underlayment for floating floors.Q:
Can i use this under my laminate wood flooring with pad already attached? I just bought 500sq ft of Dream Home - Nirvana PLUS 10mm Madison River Elm Laminate wood flooring. Its spec's are 10mm moisture-resistant core PLUS a 2mm pre-glued sound-proofing foam underlay. It is being installed in a singlewide mobile home that had carpet over plywood. I have removed the carpet and repaired all imperfections in the plywood under it. I have been told not to use an extra padding like the "ECO Silent Sound underlayment" or the "quiet walk" because it will cause it to feel to "springie" due to the fact it already has a padding on it. I was also advisded not to use 6mil polly sheeting because it will not let the plywood breath ( in a mobile home with crawl space under the home ) and eventually cause it to trap the moisture and damage the plywood.1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
15lb felt paper is a vapor barrier and not a moisture barrier. 15lb felt paper or White Silcone Paper could be used if you suspect some moisture vapor from the crawlspace.Q:
i am putting down 3/4 hardwood floor and purchased Dream Home Insulayment with it ... after reading up, I believe I need a moisture barrier as the floor will be over a garage and unheated basement...Do I put black felt paper under my insulayment as the cheapest solution? wish I bought the sound barrier with the moisture barrier in it instead, but it is too late1 answer
A:
Please call our Tech and Installation Dept. @ (800) 366-4204 for a detailed answer to your question. Thank you for your inquiry.Q:
When using 15lb pound felt for underlayment, why is it not recommended to overlap the felt? I was also wondering if 30 lb felt would be applicable for Virginia Mill Works Engineered 1/2" x 5" Cheyenne Birch Handscraped for underlayment over 3/4" plywood subfloor with a nail down application?1 answer
A:
We recommend overlapping the 15lb. felt paper 3-4 inches. Thank you for your inquiryQ:
Is there any difference in this product and tarpaper that I would buy for roofing my home?1 answer
A:
It is the same thing.Q:
could you provide specification details for this product? I had been looking at the following product and wondering if it is the same:1 answer
A:
Black felt or roofing paper installed under hardwood is considered a moisture vapor retarder, slowing down or retarding moisture migration. Naturally occurring warm moist outside air will rise and pass through the underside of the subflooring in the home. Asphalt saturated felt paper allows air transmission while offering some protection against moisture condensation which can adversely affect the floor. Moisture vapor retarders are recommended for rooms over basements, crawl spaces and radiant heat. In addition, asphalt felt paper tends to seal around nails and staples as well as reduce the friction that occurs when the flooring slides against the subfloor, allowing the wood flooring easy assembly. Red rosin flooring paper is a uniform flexible felt of organic fibers impregnated with red organic dye. This high-quality, heavyweight building paper can be used for a protective covering and liner. Its primary function is to reduce the friction that occurs when the flooring slides against the subfloor, allowing the wood flooring to slide together more easily. Red Rosin Paper is not waterproof. Avoid its use in suspected moisture areas.
