Hardboard As Underlayment at Madison Whittell blog

Hardboard As Underlayment. Lay hardboard on a plywood subfloor to provide a smooth underlayment for vinyl, linoleum or tile. Lay the boards out, rough side to rough side, and leave them overnight. Underlay just goes onto the hardboard as if it were the floor boards. Hardboard, plywood and at least one osb product offer smooth, hard surfaces that are considered safe for thin resilient flooring. Underneath vinyl tile (which if old enough may contain asbestos) was usually either rosin paper, hardboard, or cutback. Rosin paper is really thin and tears up into annoying. These include foam, cork, rubber, plywood, and cement board underlayments, each with its specific benefits like sound dampening, moisture barriers, and structural stability. Nothing changes at all, smooth side up for the hardboards. Been reading some older posts see people saying you should wet hardboard sheets before laying. Before you lay it, scrub the rough side of each board with water. There are various types of underlayment materials—each suited to different flooring needs.
