Eco Cork Foam underlayment is engineered for easy installation with a built-in 6 mil vapor barrier and self-sealing tape.
ECF is made from a proprietary process that merges FSC-certified cork with cross-linked polyethylene foam to create a product that is thicker and stronger than the competition. ECF is easy to cut but won’t tear or rip during installation. As the only underlayment with a built-in vapor barrier, ECF eliminates the need to purchase a separate barrier and avoids added installation costs.
