"No you don’t put underlay under vinyl flooring, just beed a good flat,smooth surface to lay it on. If not would need it either ply first or a sled Level compound to get a nice neat finish."

"If you want a moisture barrier, you can get 1mm think underlay. If you buy Vinyl that has integrated underlay this can also be used for that as an addition if you choose to. Vinyl products are fairly waterproof."

"Depending on the vinyl flooring. No underlay is required if your fitting cushion back vinyl. If your fitting Vinyl planks on a clock system the underlay may come attached to the back of the product."
