can you put quiet walk directly on cement basement floor and then place laminant right over top? And does the laminant have to be a certain thickness?

Yes but read my review I would not recommend. Just use standard underlayment that has a vapor bearer. Which is plastic on the bottom and a foam on top

Yes you can put it directly on concrete and as far as I know you can use any thickness of laminate flooring.

You can, and that's exactly what I did and it worked great, evening out some cracks and deadening the sound of the laminate in heeled shoes. I'm not aware of any need for specific thickness.

Hi, we recommend installing it on flat walls. Some costumers have put them on concrete walls using contact cement and they have had good results.

If its making noise its not applied right. This is not going to work in a floor joist, you need a center beam. If you put it in a center beam, then its not going to make any noise or move. If the center beam of your house is moving, then run, because its about to fall down.

We used it on concrete floor and it will cover minor imperfections but we can still feel low spots when we walk on our laminate floor.

Its not very thick. more like a throw blanket thickness. So we use it on top of carpet or gym mats. too thin to use on floor on its own.

You can either spread a layer of thin set mortar over it or self leveling compound. Just make sure it's flat for tile.

Goes right over level concrete. I used floor leveler and a steel straightedge to make sure it was flat for the flooring (the degree of flatness you need depends on your flooring's tolerances, the underlayment doesn't care). My flooring was okay with 1/8" per 6 feet "out of level". This underlayment works great over concrete.

I would do a couple Google searches just to make sure, but I would imagine it should be just fine over concrete. I used it over self-leveling concrete which was over a plywood base and then put the flooring directly over it and it seems to be working great. It is a combination sound/vibration/moisture/ventilation pad.

I don't see why not if it's concrete, says you can use it for floors. My only concern when putting on the floors if you move heavy furniture you may scratch or tear it. yes it's a lot thicker than regular contact paper and if you use it for the floors, I would use a heavier glue than just pealing the back off as it may not stick long depending on your flooring. I have used this on the counters and also I covered a table with it. I hope this helps.

No the purpose of the underlayment is to float the floor so there is some give when there is traffic and sections don't separate. If there is a moisture problem with floor prior to installation of wood or laminate flooring that needs to be resolved first.

My treadmill is on the 2nd floor on bamboo. The mat has helped with vibrations & noise from my running. My husband has commented that it is quieter downstairs than when it was just on the bare floor. If I was buying a second one I would get the thicker mat.

I have a review out here on quiet walk from MP global company. We put down 1000 feet of laminate flooring. Had the quiet walk down for about four days before installing laminate and neither my wife or myself ever noticed any smells. You can also call him MP global and ask for customer service and a gentleman named Dwayne and he can answer any questions about the quiet walk.

I did a large concrete floor with no problem. Took a day or two to stick well. I would have a two sided tape on hand for tiles you have to cut.Good luck

I guess that depends if you're covering the whole room where you're putting it against the walls or to the baseboards of the walls. Are you covering the whole floor wall to wall? I do not know from experience so I can't guess that they might slip a little bit or not. It also depends on how much square footage you're putting down and how aggressive your aerobic workout is going to be. They are great pads they work really well for my basement where I do have them wall to wall for lifting weights and do some lunges. but again I cannot give you a definitive answer to your question . I wish you good luck with whatever choice you make. John G./USMC I guess that depends if you're covering the whole room where you're putting it against the walls or to the baseboards of the walls.

This is a great option for cement steps. You can put it down and have an instant weatherproof ramp.

Yes there is a setting for thickness. I run it through 3 times going from thicker to thinner.

I bought it for the cushioning but mostly for being a moisture barrier for a single story slab home . If you plan on installing your new flooring on a second story or higher, or on a pier and beam foundation, a lot depends on your sub floor. Call the company. It isn't labeled as a sound proofing product and there might be a better product for your purpose.
