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.

The subfloor is an essential component of any flooring system. It provides a level and stable base for the finished floor materials, such as hardwood, tile, or carpet. Without a properly installed subfloor, your flooring can develop various problems, including sagging, squeaking, and unevenness. Making callbacks and repairs inevitable.
The subfloor also helps to distribute the weight of the occupants and furniture evenly across the floor joists. This prevents excessive stress on the joists and ensures the floor's structural integrity. Additionally, a solid subfloor acts as a barrier against moisture, preventing water damage and mold growth.
To avoid costly and timely callbacks and repairs, consider Beck’s SCRAIL® SubLoc® Pro. This system enables quick and uncomplicated installation of sub-floors and, thanks to the special thread of the SCRAIL® nail screw fasteners, guarantees resilient sub-floors without creaking and squeaking even after years.
