ROBERTS Silicone Moisture Barrier Underlayment is designed to protect floors from moisture, without trapping it underneath the floor covering. It is made from 100-percent recycled contents that are environmentally safe, and a baked silicone coating that provides moisture impermeability under wood flooring. As a recycled product, it may have slight color variations that do not affect the quality of the product or its performance. Its smooth top surface allows to mark chalk lines and to slide the planks into position, making it easy to install. It meets the perm ratings recommendation by the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) for staple and nail-down installations of solid and engineered wood floors.

Questions & Answers

I used this over a concrete slab when I installed LVP and I am just now realizing it was not recommended for concrete slab. Why not? Will there be issues later if I leave it?
ByApr 4, 2024
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

When installing LVP over concrete, most manufacturers require installation of 6 mil polyethylene sheeting as a completely impermeable vapor barrier to reduce the likelihood of cupping/distortion in the LVP flooring. The Roberts Silicone Moisture Barrier is intended for use over wood substrates and is a vapor retarder, slowing down the flow of vapor without trapping moisture. Depending on the amount of vapor emissions from your concrete, you could see a buildup of vapor that eventually could result in cupping/distortion as the vapor pushes up through the joints in the flooring.

      Answer This Question

      No. Roberts Silicone Paper is specific for use over wooden subfloor systems. However, you may want to consider Model # 70-115 - Roberts Moisture Barricade 6mil plastic sheeting specifically designed for application over a concrete slab when installing hardwood and laminate flooring.

                  What Customers Say
                  Summarized by generative AI from text of customer reviews

                  Customers say the underlayment is easy to install and cut, making it a convenient choice for various flooring projects. Many appreciate its clean appearance and effective vapor barrier properties, although some noted it can tear easily and lacks sound deadening qualities. The product is generally considered a good value, but recent price increases have raised concerns among users. Overall, it serves its purpose well for most applications, with a few customers suggesting alternative options for better durability and noise reduction.

                  The barrier underlayment was easy to use. Rolled it out before laying laminate planks. I used a plank to hold each end otherwise it would roll back together again. Instructions says to staple it to the wall to prevent that from happening but using a plank worked fine for me. You can also use painters tape as well. Beware that the instructions do say to overlap the barrier by 8 inches. Take that into consideration when calculating how many square footage is needed. My biggest advice is to make sure your subfloor is clean without any debris. Otherwise it will rip a hole in the barrier.

                    Worked well enough and it was cheaper than most underlayment. It does have a tendency to bunch up and wrinkle. Somehow when we rolled it out and stapled it, it was smooth, but by the time we got to it with the flooring it had expanded and gotten wrinkles.

                    Very nice product and very easy to work with so the product did meet our expectations. No problems thus far with laying it down before installing hardwood floors. The manufacturer of our hardwood flooring recommended this product in their installation instructions so that's what we went with. Fortunately, our local Home Depot had plenty in stock so no need to purchase them online.

                    Inexpensive, but effective vapor barrier
                    Used as an underlayment for installing nail down, tongue and groove bamboo floors. Comes in rolls and cuts easily with scissors.

                    NOT 6mm thick!
                    The description is incorrect. This is NOT 6 mm thick--it's as thin as paper.

                        My laminate installer used this waterproof silicone underlayment and he said it worked very well. fter the planks were installed I can say it feels good, quiet and the floor is solid. He liked using this product & I'm happy about it, so I'm rating it a 5 star!
