Are you talking about hardwood flooring ? You don't use underlay.





If you are talking about laminate, most is the click type now. If you glue a laminate floor together, repair is nearly impossible.





The manufacturer of the product that you want to use, will either have installation pamphlets or a website with installation instructions.
I haven't myself, however I have laid a number of laminate floors. The concept is that it is a 'floating' floor. The underlay sheet should be taped together at the seams.


Why would you want to stick the underlay down anyway, surely it would just make it more complicated and more hassle for you?
There may be an underlayment that is self adhesive, but the adhesive would be stuck to the sub-floor to keep the underlay from slipping around during installation. The sticky side would go down when intallling an lamament floor. The boards need to float and expand.
