Masonite vinyl tile.
Masonite underlay can be scored and snapped easily using a normal utility knife.
It is suppost to look like polished concrete.
Masonite covers a wooden subfloor or concrete slab s imperfections giving the laminate or hardwood flooring a smooth and flat surface to bond against.
The flooring materials bond to the masonite with standard adhesives.
If the subfloor is in this situation we recommend installing masonite underlay or ibs hardboard in a dry area or vinyl and cork cement sheet or tile slate and vinyl cement sheet underlay in a wet area.
I have seen masonite hardboard used for flooring in decorating books mags.
This rigid masonite hardboard underlay is for use under vinyl carpet or floating floors.

I thought it was a great idea and wanted to redo one of our floors.
Sometimes referred to as hardboard masonite is a dense slick material manufactured in 48 by 96.
All vinyl can and does react after being installed directly onto these types of subfloors.
