The Importance of QuietBoard and QuietWalk LV

When it comes to creating a comfortable, quiet, and durable flooring experience, the importance of quality underlayment cannot be overstated. While STAINMASTER flooring and carpet are known for their exceptional stain resistance and durability, using the right underlayment can significantly enhance these qualities. MP Global’s QuietBoard and QuietWalk LV underlayments offer a range of benefits that elevate the performance of STAINMASTER products, ensuring a superior flooring experience.

Why Use Underlayment with STAINMASTER Flooring and Carpet?

Underlayment serves as a critical component in any flooring installation, providing numerous benefits that enhance the overall performance, comfort, and longevity of the floor. Here are key reasons why using underlayment is important:

1. Sound Reduction:
   • Underlayment acts as a sound barrier, reducing noise transmission between floors. This is especially beneficial in multi-story homes and apartment buildings where noise can be a significant issue.
   • MP Global’s QuietWalk LV and QuietBoard are designed to absorb sound, creating a quieter living environment and minimizing the noise impact of foot traffic and other activities.
2. Moisture Protection:
   • Moisture can be a major concern in flooring installations, particularly in areas prone to spills and humidity. Underlayment with moisture barrier properties provides an additional layer of protection against moisture seeping from the subfloor.
   • QuietWalk LV, specifically, features a built-in moisture barrier that enhances the water-resistant properties of STAINMASTER luxury vinyl flooring, preventing mold and mildew growth.
3. Comfort and Insulation:
   • Underlayment adds a cushioning layer that makes the floor more comfortable to walk on. This added comfort is particularly noticeable in areas where you spend a lot of time standing, such as kitchens and living rooms.
   • It also provides thermal insulation, helping to keep floors warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, contributing to overall energy efficiency.
4. Subfloor Imperfection Coverage:
   • No subfloor is perfectly smooth. Underlayment helps to even out minor imperfections, providing a more stable and consistent surface for your flooring. This ensures a more professional and durable installation.
