How Do I Lay Underlayment on Quikrete Flooring?

Underlayment is a flooring treatment used for leveling, insulation or reinforcement. Adding underlayment to a Quikrete floor can help finish and smooth out or repair the floor before carpeting, tile or other material is added. The process for laying underlayment onto Quikrete is the same as laying it on other types of concrete.
