      NO! NO! athousand times NO< NO NO> Boy am I glad I saw this question. I had laminate flooring laid that had its` own backing. To try and make it quieter I had it laid on a cushion of only 2mm thick.
      The laminate was spongy to walk on and to have it removed and relayed was going to cost more than the original job. So over $3500 later I now have TILES.

        You need a layer of special plastic to prevent moisture from forming under the laminated flooring. They will install the new flooring over the plastic and glue it down properly.

          Don't do it. I think there is something special for laying under flooring.
