In the construction industry, selecting the appropriate underlayment is crucial for achieving a seamless transition between the flooring surface and the underlying subfloor. With a wide variety of options available - including cork, felt, foam, and rubber - professionals must apply their expertise to make the best choice for each project. 

An additional consideration is the potential for moisture intrusion. In such cases, incorporating a moisture barrier is essential for preserving the integrity of the flooring installation. Evaluating project budgets, understanding the specific flooring materials involved, and navigating the unique characteristics of each job are vital steps in this process. Let’s explore considerations for underlayment and how the SCRAIL® SUBLOC® PRO System by BECK will keep it secure for years to come.
