Smoothing Out Imperfections

This cushion is firm and supportive but flexible enough to form around subfloor surface roughness, helping to cut down on extra surface prepping time

Insulating Value

Provides additional comfort to the entire home during seasonal temperature changes.

Made From Recycled Material

A patented manufacturing process repurposes post-industrial and pre- and post-consumer materials into high-performance underlayment.

Certified Clean and Safe Indoor Air Quality

No VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds) or off-gassing from materials.

Made from recycled materials in a patented process where air-laid filaments create a capillary effect to absorb impact and airborne sound, Insulayment is the best acoustic underlay for glue and nail-down flooring. This acoustical underlayment insulates impact noise transfer to lower-level rooms and better support flooring than commonly prescribed 15 lb asphalt-saturated felt paper. Insulayment’s sound ratings meet or exceed most building code requirements for multi-family dwellings.

Can be used in conjunction with heated underlayment to fill in small non-heated areas for installations beneath glue-down wood flooring or ceramic tile
No attached vapor barrier, allows excellent adhesion with wood-flooring adhesives and thinset mortars
