Underlayment material is a foundational element for creating smooth surfaces in a building's walls, ceilings, floors, etc., and is crucial for attaching finishing materials. It is typically made from building materials like wood or steel. Underlayment is essential for ensuring strength, levelness, and smoothness of the base before installing finishes such as wall and ceiling materials.
Underlayment is used in various locations, including exterior and interior walls, ceilings, and floors.
These materials serve as the base for smoothing exterior wall surfaces and installing finishes like paint and tiles. Options include plywood, plywood for siding, and cement board.
Interior underlayment is used for smoothing surfaces of interior walls, ceilings, and floors, and for attaching finishes like cloth and paint. Options include board underlayment, plywood, and metal frames.
This material is the base for floors, providing a smooth surface for flooring, tatami mats, etc. Options include plywood and laminated wood.
