Gypsum Floor Underlayment Contractors

Edward’s provides a gypsum cement placement service to fit residential, commercial and industrial needs.

Due to its unique benefits in both installation and performance, gypsum underlayment—”gyp” for short—is increasingly being used in all facets of commercial, industrial, and residential construction. While gyp is relatively simple to install and pairs well with a wide range of floor coverings, it is considered a specialty trade. Let’s take a look at why installing gypsum underlayment requires the knowledge and skill of a specialty contractor.



Gypsum underlayment is a mixture of gypsum plaster, Portland cement, and sand (additives are sometimes included as well). It is typically applied over structural concrete or precast concrete planks to create a smooth surface that delivers superior strength, sound control, and fire resistance. Gyp is almost completely self-leveling, sets quickly (faster than concrete), requires minimal surface preparation, and has the same compressive strength as regular concrete.
