My husband and I are in the process of installing a click floating engineered wood floor in our master bedroom. This is our first time trying to install flooring and we are having trouble with the underlayment. We have it all rolled out and the seams are taped but it refuses to lay flat. We prepped the subfloor correctly. The wood is 1/2" thick and I'm not sure it will be heavy enough to push down the waves in the underlayment. The guy at lumber liquidators told us not to staple it down, but since it was so wavy we stapled it around the perimeter anyway. Still wavy in the middle. Should we remove the staples and trust that the floor will flatten out the underlayment? Should we try to flatten it by stapling it more?
