Looking for a 1/16" laminate underlayment

[Brian Kent]

I need to add 1/16" in thickness under new laminate flooring to match the height of the stone tiles next to them.

We have cork over concrete in the family room. We will be laying down the laminate that performed best in my test last year. The difference between the cork and laminate combo and the stone tiles is 1/16", or approximately 1.5 mm.

I have not been able to find an underlayment that is this thickness. Any ideas?

This stuff is a 1/64" thicker than what you're looking for but is the closest to your needing 1/16" underlayment. 5/64" versus 4/64" should be livable.

I'd just use some leveling compound in the vicinity of the doorway - being 1/16 off in the middle of the room means nothing - you just want an even transition.

Thank you. I will get the stuff you showed John.

A bag of floor leveler and a trowel is the answer.

Mark and Eric, what are the odds I could get exactly 1/16" thick - first time trying leveling compound?
