Does Click Lok Flooring Need Underlay?

Yes, it is recommended to use underlayment with click lok flooring to provide cushioning and sound insulation. As a homeowner and someone who has been in the flooring trade for over 20 years, I cannot stress enough the importance of using underlayment with click lok flooring. This simple step can make a huge difference to the longevity of your flooring and to the overall look of the finished installation.

Underlayment helps to reduce the risk of moisture damage, which is especially important if you have a wood flooring installed. It also helps to improve sound insulation, making sure that your flooring remains quiet and comfortable. Plus, it adds a bit of cushioning which makes it more comfortable to walk on. The only click lok flooring that doesn't require underlay is luxury vinyl tiles. That is because all of our LVT (luxury vinyl tiles) come with built-in underlay, so there's no need to install more. 

My wife Felicity and I recently installed click lok flooring in our living room and we used an underlayment to help ensure the highest quality finish. Our sons Gus and Frank were around to help us, and even our dog Blue was excited about the transformation! Our flooring looks great and it's been really easy to maintain.
