Champ just curious as to how much you spent per sq ft on your laminate. We have all kinds of people around here that think they can go to Lowe's or Sam's Club and get it cheaper. Right now I have laminate instock in 5 different colors made by Shaw with a 25 year warranty w/o the foam backing for only $1.19 square foot. Its an 8 mil product and very nice looking with register embossing. For those who dont know what registered embossing is....it is tht you can feel the graining where the graining should be. Just as if you were actually touching a real board.
Getting the foam on the back adds no value or quality to the floor. Most people say well yeah but its easier to install...

? Really? because if you buy the foam that goes under it by the roll....which comes 100 sq ft per roll for only $12.99, all you do is roll it out ...tack it down in a few places to keep it from moving and then lay your laminate down.
