Customer Review: Great Product, Great Customer Service
Summary: 5 Stars
I just installed about 500 sq ft of hardwood floor and used floor muffler. While it is a bit of a chore to get it to lay flat (use some flooring pieces at each end as weights) it does go down fairly easily. Get a friend to help you lay it down - keeping everything straight can be a challenge by yourself.
Pros
- Quiet, the floor makes no noise
- The film strip and built in adhesive are a big help - no taping necessary on longitudinal seams - you will need to tape it together on butt seams
- GREAT customer service. I e-mailed them at 8pm one evening thinking I would get my questions answered sometime in the next few weeks. At 8:15pm that same evening I had my answers.
Cons
- AWFUL instructions
Here are the instructions I used with help from the company:
The film side is the side with the wide pink stripe and the narrow blue stripe.
The pink stripe unfolds to double its width - this lets you lay down a strip next to it without a gap. The blue stripe is the adhesive strip - remove the blue to expose the adhesive - then stick it down to the pink that you unfolded on the other piece.
The instructions also say to lay down only what you are immediately covering with flooring. This is next to impossible to do if you lay it down perpendicular to the flooring (as you should). Lay it all down at once. It is tough as nails and provided you are not wearing cleats, you will not tear it. If you are worried, you can lay down some hardboard to walk on - that will protect the underlayment.
Suggestion - buy enough so you do not have to join pieces for length. It is much easier to keep things straight when all of the seams run one way.
