Can I use cork underlayment as an alternative to actual cork flooring?

Submitted by Tundra_2190 t3_zw8o0v in DIY

The cost of actual flooring would be 500-1000 dollars to cover my bedroom and I’d rather not spend that much. My local hardware store sells cork underlayment that is 150 dollars it doesn’t have as nice a finish as actual flooring but could I use something like a polyurethane finish to seal it? It would be used in my bedroom.

If you live near a major city, you might get some luck by doing a lot of comparison shopping from flooring wholesalers. My brother installed flooring that is sold for $12 a square foot, but was able to find it for $3.50 a square foot at a wholesaler. Good luck in your search!!
