We purchased the flooring and when it came in stacked it in the garage and called the contractor. Being a little naive I assumed that the roll out underlayment would be easy and appropriate, but wanted to hear from the contractor on his thoughts. Our contractor looked at our flooring and asked us if we wanted it to feel solid but with a little cushion, or do we just want to protect the bottom of the flooring. I said both so he told us to look at some thicker underlayments at Home Depot. We live in Hawaii, so thats pretty much the go to place, that or Lowes for bulk and cheap. I did look on desertcart and I saw the Steico Underlayment. Our contractor had never used it, but the advertised quality and benefits of a thicker underlayment were attractive. Ordered them and the contractor found that they were very easy to install. The only add was that he recommended gluing them down as we are on a concrete slab and was worried about them shifting. They installed the Steico glued down in one day and then the flooring in the next two. I can tell you it was worth it. Our neighbor used the same flooring with cheap thin underlayment and really regrets it. Our floors feel like hard wood and has just a bit of give. We are very happy with the Steico underlayment and highly recommend it if you want a good solid feel, good protection from water and ease of installation. UPDATE...so it has been almost a year and still the floor is fantastic. No depressions. Still has the little bit of cushion giving the engineered hardwood the feel of real wood floors. So happy we tried Steico. Highly recommended. Review: Good stuff, and easy to use - Excellent product!! Installed myself with a friend under 5mm LVT click-lock planks. I am very happy with this choice. First, underlay comes in sheets and it is so much less headache than rolls. Second, I really loved the sturdiness of the boards, floor feels very stable. A few years ago I used somewhat β€œfoamy” underlayment and it was so annoying how locks slightly but noticeably bended and squeaked while walking, so now I decided to choose something else and it worked as advertised. Third, I did not do any leveling of the concrete and that saved me both money and time. At the beginning I was little skeptical because the concrete was a bit uneven, so we tried it on a small area. It worked great and we decided to go ahead and install it all. This fiber material absorbs the bumps from the downside and keeps it straight from the top level. For the sound transmission we have noticed that running steps of our boys sound softer, but it was not an issue from the beginning. Overall, installation took one day and it was easy, recommend! ## Features - Size: 6 millimeters (1/4 inch) thickness STEICO Underlayment, 90 square feet package, 15 sheets 2 feet x 3 feet - Increased living comfort: Enjoy the superior sound control and acoustic improving properties of the natural fibers.

Since the underlayment is designed as Water Vapor system, it has an ability to "breathe" no matter if tape is there or not (air is going through all the surface). Tape might be used on joints if desired to fix the Underlay and prevent moving while installing, tape could be used on full length of joints, by small pieces or could be not used at all. **Q: I'll be installing this on a concrete slab and want to know if I can use it in a bathroom underneath tile or marble floors?** A: We recommend using our Underlayment under the floating floors. In the bathrooms, you can use it in places where there is no direct water exposure to the finishing surface. Our clients do install STEICO Underlayment under tile but we have not accumulated enough experience yet to recommend using it this way. **Q: I need 3mm in addition to the 1/4 inch that the Steico underlayment provides. Can I use a 3mm foam vapor barrier underneath to make up the difference?** A: The thicker the layers, the spongier they get. The more movement, the less wear. I think layer them would be a mistake. **Q: The 1/th and 1/4inch versions of this list the same delta iic. how is this possible? why is thicker better?** A: Dear James, thank you for the great question! To be honest, we were also very surprised when we received the results of the testing. We have been explained that during the testing various materials perform differently within different structures. Testings with our products (both 1/8" and 1/4") were done according to the toughest requirements ( 6' concrete slab and no ceiling assembly). Apparently with the wood fiber materials and in this particular setting, it does not make a significant difference for the soundproofing which thickness do you select ( 1/8" or 1/4"). Thicker wood fiber underlayment is commonly used when the elevation of height is needed or the subfloor is uneven. We hope it help! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better underlayment means a better finished floor...UPDATE *by B***T on January 3, 2020* So we decided to redo the first floor of our house with engineered hardwood.

It was very easy to install and use. It can be easily cut to the desired shape. It works great for dampening sound too. The only drawback is the amount of dust it creates during installation, especially if you're cutting this to shape. It's not a huge deal but it is something you should prepare for. The dust is very persistent as well as it took several rounds of vacuuming and steam mopping to finally get rid of it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Wood Fiber Flooring Underlayment, 6mm (1/4 Inch) Thickness - 90 Sq Ft, Natural Soundproofing Insulation, for Laminate, Vinyl, LVT, LVP, or Hardwood - ROBERTS 50-040 Underlayment Tape Roll, Red - 360 Sq Ft Acoustical Underlayment with Vapor Barrier for Luxury Vinyl Flooring --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ni/products/40114941-1-4-thickness-90-sqft](https://www.desertcart.ni/products/40114941-1-4-thickness-90-sqft) --- *Product available on Desertcart Nicaragua* *Store origin: NI* *Last updated: 2026-09-11*
