Closed cell foam - flooring dept. home depot

I was in my local HD today and noticed a product made by a company called Elastilon, it is a closed cell foam that is used as an underlay for hardwood floors, etc. I did the math (on a 107 sq ft roll after taxes) and its $2.26 / sq ft. Unfortunately I didn't have the extra $240 kicking around, but perhaps it would be worth splitting on with a friend!

Anyone seen or tried this stuff? It looked to be 1/4 inch thick

Ultimate-B-Quiet-100-sq-ft-w-Dynamat-roller

$2.62/ft^2 Lots of people on this forum use it and will testify on the quality (including my self) The seller is located in Alberta, canada (read: no duty/tax) I had it in less then week to my door.

He also sells smaller quantities so if 100ft^2 is to much, buy the 50ft^2. No need to go in with a friend.

There is different density and thickness to all foam products and both will affect performance. It is up to the consumer to decide their performance to dollar ratio

I think the one in the link a good choice due to the mold resistance, low offgassing, etc.
