‘Green’
is fast becoming the name of the game in underlayment. In the not too distant
past, manufacturers made underlayment for a variety of reasons, including
durability, cushioning, sound abatement and moisture resistance. While those
characteristics are still important, underlayment makers are now creating
products that are also environmentally friendly. With the aid of new
technologies, these products are not only greener than ever before, but more
durable as well. Below is a snapshot of some of the latest underlayment
products that offer performance as well as ‘green’ peace of mind.
