Cork underlayment in Canada is a natural acoustic and thermal layer for hardwood, engineered hardwood, laminate, vinyl, tile, and cork flooring. Choose 3mm cork underlay for low-profile projects, 6mm for balanced everyday sound support, and 12mm or half-inch cork when impact sound control is the priority. Use cork underlayment in condos, apartments, basements, offices, and renovations where floor warmth and sound control matter.

Yes. Cork underlayment is commonly used under hardwood and engineered hardwood when the flooring manufacturer and installation method allow an underlay layer.
