Installing Paradigm Long Board….underlayment

3 years ago

last modified: 3 years ago

We have purchased Paradigm vinyl flooring and tore our our existing engineered wood floors which means that we will have about a 1/4 in differiential in the transition to our tile and carpet to other rooms. What would be a good underlayment to raised the vinyl flooring level to the other rooms? I thought I would be ok with the transition piece, but now that we lay it out I really liked the clean look between our tile and previous floors.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions!

Use an APA rated underlayment with APA recommended fastener spacing. That means the ply will be sanded. 1/4" nominal will be closer to 3/16" actual.

Thank you for your response. Currently, we still have concrete floors because the flooring came in and was not the same color as the sample so we returned it and ordered different color. The sales person said they changed the color but didnt update the samples which makes no sense but whatever, we are getting different flooring so i hope we dont have the problem again.

Concrete changes things, no plywood underlayment. You would have to decide if using SLC is worth it.
