Should I add underlayment when there is pre-attached pad?

Is it necessary to use additional underlayment with laminate or vinyl flooring that already has pre-attached padding?

Laminate and some vinyl flooring styles that already have a pre-attached pad on the back will not only save you money but also have been tested for both sound suppression and support of the locking system - and is sufficient for most underlayment requirements.

However for customers, condo associations, multifamily managers, and specifiers wanting extra sound isolation and thermo properties, underlayments such as our Bellawood Platinum, Quiet Walk, Eco Silent Sound HD, or cork underlayments are excellent choices for use under laminates with or without a pre-attached pad.
