   I'm not familiar with it, but I googled their website....only supplier I could find in Oregon was Home Depot.  I never go there for a variety of reasons, one being that nearest one is 120 miles away and when I drive that distance there is a large independent yard that makes HD look like an ugly step-sister.

   Might be OK stuff...but is it cost effective?  I dunno.

   Yeah, HD it is around here too (S. Vermont) I haven't priced it yet but I'm thinking instead of sleepers, poly and plywood. It's gotta save on the labor

   Just found another discussion on this topic if you're interested. It's under FHB feedback. Someone liked it.

   I just installed a floor using it.

   The concrete floor should be fairly flat, or get self-leveling compound.

   BTW, it's a fairly expensive wau of doing it. I used it because we were working over an old and a newly poured area and not very straight.

   If your floor is already flat and straight, you can get the underlay down and place OSB or Ply over top.

   Quality repairs for your home.

   If I am not mistaken, this product uses the Delta-FL as the dimpled bottom portion.

   You may consider the Delta-FL and then lay the ply over it.

   However, the supply network is spotty in the U.S.

   I like the idea. Decent thermal break, and a drainage plane. I just doubt their claim that it would provide a very solid vapor barrier.  Lots of joints there...

   Also, if you read the instructions, their leveling method looks brutally time consuming.

   i was thinking of using it to cushion and insulate the concrete floor of my 450sq ft workshop space- maybe with industrial rubber or pvc tile over it.  wonder if it's well suited for that application?

   Bet it would work very well for those flooring materials.  They are resistant to moisture anyways.  Much easier on the feet and joints, and easier to clean than concrete.

   I saw this product in a Home Depot in Bridgewater, New Jersey last month. Looked just like T&G OSB in 2'x2' squares laminated to the plastic. No one there (surprise) could tell me if it was a good product or if there was any demand.

   Never used, I have called the company to check on availability.

   At the time it wasn't sold in my area, but they would ship, and the cost seemed reasonable for the freight.

   So if you really want to use it, and can't find it locally, the manufacturer will send it directly to the customer.

   Just FYI
