Explanation: We recommend Synthetic Underlayment because it is extremely durable. Synthetic Underlayment typically doesn’t tear as easy as felt, and is suitable for extended UV and moisture exposure, safer alternative as it's not as slipper and heavy as felt. However, it is more expensive than felt underlayment. For cost-effectiveness, felt underlayment is good for homes located in areas with relatively constant temperatures.
