ElkCorp strives to be the supplier of choice in each of its businesses and has led the way in improving the quality of roofing and building products with an impressive list of firsts since 1955, the year we opened our first production plant.

Now Elk’s research and development team is developing a range of Flooring Underlayments based on our patented VersaShield technology.

Why Flooring Underlayments?

High levels of moisture emission through concrete slabs is a growing problem in residential and commercial construction resulting from slab on grade and fast track construction techniques. Inadequate or ineffective moisture barrier protection between the floor covering and concrete can cause a Total Flooring Failure resulting in:

1. Breakdown of adhesives
2. Curling and lifting of carpet and vinyl tiles
3. Ceramic releasing from subsurface
4. Peaking and De-lamination of wood and laminate floors
5. Mold

Elk VersaShield® Flooring Underlayments are designed to:

1. Control Moisture Vapor emission
2. Control Expansion and Cracking in Ceramic tile floors
3. Improve Acoustic Qualities in Engineered wood and Laminate
