Couple Quote by Bryan Baeumler
“If you're installing laminate, typically it's pretty resistant to moisture. Generally, we install laminate on top of a couple different types of underlay. There's a quiet walk underlay, which is a felt-type material you can put down if the subfloor isn't perfectly flat.”
