I want to go over concrete floored three season room. Do you need the plastic moisture sheeting as you would with other traditional floating floors?

Hello, A minimum 0.2 mm vapor barrier must be laid down prior to the installation of the floor. The vapor barrier must overlap a minimum of 20 cm / 7.8". All products are designed to be floating floors and are to be installed without adhesive. The flooring should not be adhered to the subfloor in any way. Vinyl engineered panel flooring products in the Matterhorn collection should not be installed in areas subjected to humidity levels higher than those recommended or in extreme wet areas. The floor must be level. I hope that information helps. thank you for your inquiry.

You would want some kind of foam or inflate able mattress under it. Concrete floors are what they are... I love this product and used it many times last summer while camping.

Hi Kim. No, you do not need to seal your flooring. Sealing your flooring may void any manufacturers warranty and you should consult your manufacturer prior to installation. No, we have not had any reports of mold or mildew with this product. Be sure to test your concrete for high moisture levels if mold is/could be a concern.

I renew it in a room that does not have a moisture problem....... if necessary, I suppose you could do it outside in a sheltered area.

I don't have vinyl but I think it would be fine. The only issue I am aware of is using Scoobas on laminate floors. You are not supposed to put down a lot of water on them bkz water would get down between the planks. I use my Mint for that.

Check with the Manufacturer to see if your laminate flooring requires a vapor barrier above grade. If you don't and run into problems in a few years the warranty will be Void...! It should be clearly listed on the sheets in the boxes. Is there a chance of moisture upstairs? Leaks? Kids? Is noise a factor? Make sure your flooring sits in the room for 48 hours minimum... Before Install. I have never installed a floor without some sort of Vapor barrier. Good Luck! I hope this helps!

You should font actually your tile manufacturer for that, but if you have a lot of scum you may need to clean it first. Every case is different. On fiberglass it is a dream to use.

I did, the run has nothing underneath it though. I got a piece of scrap laminate and slid it under so the couldn't ruin my floor. Also it does take up a bit of room so check the measurements and check your available space :)

I have floating wood floors, laminate in the bathroom and stone around the entrance. It does well on the laminated and wood floors, but the stone has sharp edges and it gets snagged. I wipe the stone by hand and use micro fiber cloths fot that.

I would recommend the foot print. The floor material is thick, but it is always best to have the extra layer of protection.

I have been advised this is for floating floors, but I don't see any reason why not

I would recommend you ask the flooring supplier. That's what I did when I installed my first floor. I purchased the flooring at a local place not a big box store as I wasn't satisfied with their quality the first time. Purchase 1st or 2nd quality otherwise you may find inconsistency in with of boards. As it turns out I put down 3/4 inch solid tongue and groove over tar paper on 3/4 inch subfloor. He recommended 1 1/2 inch staples. Been a few year now and all ok. Floor was installed over a crawl space so they advised tar paper butted and taped at the seams.

Yes. To make sure I applied a base coat and the 2 coats of my color. Just make sure to dry well in between. I did this last February and floor has held up well.

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.

Yes, I think any kind of floor. We have ours set up in our basement (linoleum floor) but plan to bring outside when weather gets nice. Just a warning..it takes up a lot of space..but they love it

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.

Water containment is excellent. I use it indoors often. Some plastic on the floor would be good practice, nonetheless.
