Halex Composite Flooring Underlayment is a superior alternative to lauan plywood. This quality product exceeds the requirements for a smooth and consistent underlayment when installing recommended vinyl floor coverings.

The smooth face means that you don't have to worry about imperfections, delaminating, or seaming after you install the floor covering.

And Halex Composite Flooring Underlayment is twice as dense as lauan, so it resists panel damage from impact.
