    Q:Under 2 ft carpet tiles?
    by|Aug 6, 2023
    1 Answer
    Answer This Question

    A:  I've used this under carpet tiles and its great for me. If you use a carpet cleaner or shampooer you might get moisture between the carpet tile and this underlay, keep that in mind. Then again if you have carpet tiles, like i do, if an area gets saturated you can simply replace or re-adhere the carpet tile. The red color part is firm like a plastic soda cap, it wont let moisture penetrate it. Ive had this type of setup on my floor for over 2 years now, i haven't seen any change in the concrete that's underneath either.

      Q:Why can a non- load bearing wall be framed on dmx1step 2.0 but not this product?
      by|Jul 3, 2023
      1 Answer
      Answer This Question

      A:  Because the installation of this product requires you to place a tack strip down before laying your carpet or DMX 1 Step Carpet and you cannot install a tack strip over our product.

        Q:I understand I can use it in my basement as my carpet pad however I have about 30 ft.� I need to install Lvp flooring in a bathroom. Can I use this carpet underlayment for underneath Lvp flooring. Or do I need to purchase the other dmx product
        by|Apr 15, 2023
        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  Thank you for your question! DMX 1 Step Carpet was designed for use with peel and stick carpet tiles and regular carpet. LVP cannot be used on DMX 1 Step Carpet. DMX 1 Step 2.0 was designed for use with laminate. engineered hardwood and vinyl, but the vinyl must be 5 mm or greater and would be your only choice.

          Failure
          I was so excited to find this product, thought I had done my due diligence in research. Lasted just 1.5 years, seams are completely failing. It started with one brown spot on my carpet, then two, then three, all in a line. Decided to pull the carpet back to check and my suspicions were correct. Moisture had seeped up through the seam. I also didn’t see any evidence of the “dissipation” of moisture that the product claims... there were some very moist spots. This product was installed AFTER installing a French drain with sump pump, patching holes with hydraulic cement and applying porch and floor paint to seal the cement.

          Dear Ahicken:

          We are disappointed to read your review. We are not sure what you mean "the seams are completely failing"? Did you tape the seams with vapor tape? How were they failing if the load on your carpet is vertical from the top? Moisture dissipates over time, it does not dissipate instantly. But we still don't understand how moisture would seep up through the seams because our vapor tape creates a complete vapor proof seal. We would appreciate if you could contact us at customerservice@dmx1step.com or call toll free at 1-855-501-7837. We will have our engineering technologist speak to you to find out what happened. We look forward to hearing from you.

          Thank you,

          Customer Care

            creaks and lumps
            The tape provided makes it creak. Might not be an issue of the rolls werent so lumpy which makes it not lay flat. Also not comfortable at all. I regret using this over foam underlayment.

                    It is a good barrier, have concrete basement floors, was able to put carpet right on top of DMX-1 step with no carpet padding. Easy to install. So far so good.
