You have a lot of choices to make when installing new flooring, even after settling on luxury vinyl tile. There are so many different colors and patterns to choose from. But once you’ve made those tough decisions for your Luxury Vinyl Tile tile floor, keep in mind that what’s underneath the vinyl tile is just as important as the surface!

Any type of flooring can benefit from an underlayment — even luxury vinyl tile. This holds true no matter what type of subfloor it will be installed on, including concrete, wood flooring, or any other type of flooring. Underlayment can improve the vinyl tile’s ability to absorb sound. It can also make the tile feel better to walk on and can prevent several problems from occurring.

Why would you want to install an LVT underlayment too?

One of the biggest reasons is for noise reduction. Vinyl tiles cause more noise to vibrate through a room. If you have thin walls and floors, and live close to your neighbors, that can be a problem. Adding an additional LVT underlayment can have a beneficial effect.

If you’ve ever walked into a room with tile in the middle of winter, you know it can have a chilling effect. Adding additional underlayment can make your floors feel a bit warmer, even on the coldest of days.

It also creates a softer flooring choice, which can be beneficial to homes with small children or the elderly. It’ll feel softer when your kids are on the ground, learning to crawl, or playing with their toys. It will also be more forgiving if your elderly parent takes a fall.

Before you make your final choice, it’s best to stop by and learn all the facts about each flooring choice you’re considering. Different flooring manufacturers offer different benefits; Protex flooring can help you determine what’s best for you.

But if you’re looking for an affordable, easy to care for, easy to install floor that looks beautiful too, keep luxury vinyl at the top of your list. We think you’ll love the results.
