Once the SoundStep LV underlayment is fully positioned and all seams are sealed, you can begin installing your chosen floor covering product, such as vinyl plank, laminate, or engineered hardwood. Always refer to and follow the specific installation instructions provided by the flooring manufacturer. It is important to plan the layout so that the underlayment seams run perpendicular to the long dimensions of the flooring planks. This helps prevent weak points and provides better stability for the finished floor.
