A:  R-Value is 0.58.

A:  The R-value of closed-cell foam is R-6.5-7 per inch. At 1/8" the R Value is less than 1.

A:  Do not know R value, ask the store or check package, I assume it would be low

A:  I believe it would work and you can use any floor seam sealing tape to connect pieces. Even duct tape would work.

A:  We suggest doing a calcium chloride test on your concrete to know how much your slab is emitting moisture. Our underlayment can handle up to .423 water vapor transmission rate which the calcium chloride test will provide. To answer your question - yes.

A:  Maycee, we used Duck brand Extra-Wide, Duck part number 1312985. Not sure if HD carries it or not, but it worked well.

A:  Ask the Home Depot, I know it is great under laminate flooring, but not sure if it will work otherwise

A:  yes, 5mm or greater life proof planks...with or without pad pre-attached.

A:  Yes, I used it as an underlayment for life proof vinyl flooring about 2 years back. It's worked really well. They say life proof luxury Vinyl already has a softening layer underneath, I however added this to smoothen out the minor blemishes in the floor before laying Vinyl flooring. I was replacing my carpet with Vinyl in my basement, so in addition to making the floor surface smooth, it also has made the floor warmer and softer to walk.
