Under cork flooring, you typically need a vapor barrier over a concrete subfloor. However, nothing is required over a plywood subfloor on the second floor. Use of an underlayment optional and not required because there already is a built in cork backing to each plank. This underlayment helps with thermal insulation, sound absorption, cushioning, and moisture protection. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the best results.
