Tarkett Quiet-Cor

Anybody know anything about this underlayment? It appears to be Tarketts best underlayment which acts as a vapor barrier and noise reducer. Anyone have experience with it? Thanks Tarkett has some very good products. For laminate installation, they recommend that before installing the laminate, install a polyethylene foam underlayment or Quiet-Cor Underlayment. In this case, edges should not overlap. Join the edges by using adhesive tape. You may also install the Tarkett Polyfoam with vapor barrier. In this case, a vapor barrier is not required. Do not install this product over wood floors or wood subfloors. http://www.tarkett-floors.com/download/en-us-2/Laminate_installation.pdf Are you installing Tarkett laminate? What kind of subfloor? I don't think you could go wrong with Quiet-Cor, as it was developed as an acoustical underlayment for superior impact noise reduction. One of the biggest complaints about laminate is the sound made when walking on it. Quiet-Cor reportedly makes laminate flooring sound like real hardwood. If in doubt about anything, do not hesitate to contact the manufacturer direct for answers to your questions. Their tech team's knowledge far exceeds the retailer's. THanks. We are considering the Cinque or Urban Luxury Laminate. THe bottom floor will be layed over concrete and the top floor will be layed over plywood. So I guess the Quiet-cor would work for the whole thing?
