I cannot speak for the sound deadening qualities as my installation was needed to isolate my floating LVP floor from residual adhesive from the previous vinyl tile floor, so I did not rate it the full 5 stars. The product was easy to work with and to tape the seams together. It laid out flat and the new flooring easily laid over it.

amazing MP Global phone conversation and support

I’m waiting for my Sound Buffer underlayment to be delivered. Had some questions about the installation. I’m able to call MP Global directly in one call, 3 rings, a live person on. She connects me with their product expert, no message, a live person again. My questions were answered clearly. I’m just amazed they are able to support customers in this personal way. I can’t wait to install my floor with their product.
