Q: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?

1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  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.
