Each style of flooring underlayment sold by Kährs has unique properties that set it apart:

• Eco+ Underlayment with Vapor Bloc, also LEED points eligible, is formaldehyde and latex free, can be used in a nailed down wood floor installation and also has excellent sound ratings.
• Combo System is an underlayment that has noise reduction, moisture protection and antimicrobial properties built into one product so there is no need for a plastic barrier in addition to this underlayer. The overlapping design of Combo has peel and stick strips for easier one step application.

When a Kahrs hardwood floor is being laid over top of a subfloor that contains radiant heat, extra care is required. All Kahrs underlayments - Combo and Eco Plus - can be installed over radiant heated flooring but the right choice for your heated flooring project may depend on other factors including type of Kahrs floor and wood species.
