I used a vinyl flooring without the pad and no underlayment in my basement and it’s fine. Saved some money.

I having a luxury vinyl plank with 7mm thickness and 22 mils that is going over a wood subfloor. With that level of thickness do you still recommend an extra underlayment? I know this will help with sound reduction which I desperately need.

on a elevated shed, do you need underlayment for LVT, or rosin paper or plastic? Or Kilz paint?

[stephen]

Yes you do if you want it soundproof over wooden subfloors

[punxnotdead]

Very misleading, if ur over a concrete subfloor, u need a vapor barrier, most underlayment has attached or is rated for vapor.
