Do I need underlay for laminate flooring?

Yes, underlay is essential when installing laminate flooring. It provides a cushion between the subfloor and the laminate, offering benefits such as sound insulation, making the floor quieter to walk on. It also helps with moisture protection, especially in areas like kitchens or basements, and can improve the overall durability of your floor by preventing uneven surfaces from causing damage. Additionally, underlay can make the flooring feel warmer and more comfortable underfoot. Some laminates come with built-in underlay, but if not, it’s highly recommended for a professional finish.
