      Q:do we need to use this on concrete floors that we are putting vinyl planks over
      by|Oct 21, 2022

      Answer This Question

      A:  I'd suggest a combination underlayment - vapor/moisture barrier and padding for laminate over concrete. Otherwise this as a vapor barrier and a padding layer will be required; combination is easier to install.

        A:  No, 70-198 is specific to wooden subfloor use with staple and nail down installations of solid, engineered and laminate wood floors, or floating Vinyl Plank floors to reduce vapor flow without trapping moisture. You may want to consider Roberts 70-115 moisture barricade over concrete slab for moisture protection.

            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.

              Purchased a year ago for $17 and now it's $98
              Can't believe how much the price has increased in a year. It's very cheap paper and rips easily. No need to the price increase. Will not buy again.
