How to Reduce Noise from Stairs and Upstairs Floors · Step 3 of 7

Once the subfloor is prepped, lay down the underlayment. The video uses a Premium Plus cork underlayment by ECF. Ensure the adhesive strip side is against the wall and the flap is facing out towards the room. Roll out the sheets and cut them to size with a utility knife. The underlayment provides cushion, reduces sound, and acts as a water barrier. Once strips are aligned, peel the adhesive liner and fold the flap from the previous strip over to attach them together. If a roll runs out mid-floor, use seam tape to connect it to a new roll. When you reach the end of the room, measure the overlap and cut the sheet to fit.
