I'll eventually get to my underlayment question...but some other stuff comes first
I picked up the engineered flooring for my home office (wife calls it the "future nursery" got to keep dodging those bullets) last night at HD. They're giving a 15% discount on all in-stock flooring through today. We noticed the signs a few days ago and asked if there was a coupon. Orange Apron said no... the prices are already discounted by 15%. I go in last night, load up my cart, rip off one of the 15% signs that kind of looks like a coupon and head for the register. Lady rings me up, I hand her the "coupon", she plugs in the info, calls a manager for approval (thought my goose was cooked at this point) and bing-bang-boom another 15% off.
So here's the question:
The OFFICE (nursery...WTF is she thinking?) is on the second floor... 3/4" OSB sub-floor over TJI's at 19.2" O.C.. HD has 2 in 1 and 3 in 1 underlayment. The 3 in 1 appears to include a vapor barrier and some insulation. The VB isn't needed in my application, but the insulation might be nice. Is it worth twice as much? Will I notice a difference? Any uniclic floating floor wisdom out there I should know about?
