I have plywood subfloor. Can I lay this sheet on top without any other vapor barrier? And which goes on top.....black or foam side?
876218
Yes, if the plywood is on the 2nd floor. If the plywood is resting on concrete you might consider Visqueen first then Black Jack. It's marked on the product which side goes up.
876219
Yes this can go directly over your plywood. The side with the white adhesive tape goes uo

Vvapor barrier is for moisture issues so if your laying down on plywood moisture shouldn't be an issue. The product is clearly labeled with a 'this side up'.

The company says that it should be on a hard surface with no padding/insulation on top or beneath as it can cause overheating and thus a fire hazard. It seems many people are successfully using the bed that way but just thought I would pass on the official answer to that question

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!

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

Not a flooring expert - however I can tell you no, this is not meant for cement. You can research this by searching for "wood flooring installation guidelines" put out by the people that make flooring. Wood products installed over cement require a true vapor barrier. A seal. This product is more of a membrane that allows moisture to pass through slowly. There is an expensive adhesive that forms a vapor barrier, and otherwise I think people use plastic.

Depending upon your application it will work as a moisture barrier you only need to use some type of sealing tape for the seams, duct tape or 3" package sealing tape works fine. If you have known moisture issues, you will need to use the more expensive self-sealing underlayment with built in vapor barrior. Your other option is to use 3ml visqueen between the concrete floor and this poly foam base. I hope this helps

I used a water resistant organic wool pad between the mattress and sheet. Works great, especially because the mattress is so lightweight, it's easy to change the sheet.

Hello! If you are talking about the foam that you can see when you look inside from the front of the unit, no, that belongs in there. I wondered the same thing when I first noticed it since it looks almost like packing material! Leave it in, plug it in, and cool down! I bought the Arctic King last year and I love it. I hope this helps!

Hello Irtafa, The type of foam you should use and recommended thickness will depend upon what you're spraying to. What type of area do you need to spray? It may be easiest for me to help over the phone. If you get a chance, please give us a call at 800-516-0949 so we can help you get your project underway. Thanks! Linda Foam It Green

Mine has a piece of cardboard or particle board at the bottom underneath the foam. The foam would squish fine, but the board bends upward if you try to squeeze it narrower.

I put those foam pads under mine, not right on the floor. The suction cups don't work on it but you don't need them!

Well, its just a Big'ol piece of foam... semi-ridged. It should rest on top of whatever your old mattress was on, no problems. Its quality foam, no complaints, here. Rigid, yet pliable, fit onto my previous plywood, makeshift bed frame, no problem!

there is a pad on it but not foam... it is basically an air mattress, but that means it completely obliterates that metal bar. It worked well for us, but we put a memory foam mattress topper on top of it which made it very comfy, though super deep, so needed new sheets. It seemed to have a slow leak over time, but the blow up thingy is easy to use and fixes that in a jiffy. Mother in law loved it.

I'm not a pro, but traditionally hardwood flooring is laid over rosin paper or asphalt felt paper. I did read on the internet that plastic sheeting should NOT be used with hardwood floors and Robert's Super Felt definitely has plastic sheeting on one side. It says that plastic sheeting traps moisture which I guess is not good for hardwood flooring. I would definitely investigate this further, it might be a mistake to use this product with hardwood flooring.

One reason for NOT having a single solid piece of wood across the top of the foundation is to allow for air circulation from below. The foundation and mattress both have cloth covers which helps keep the foam from sinking between the slats. The fabric is designed to allow some air circulation to prevent the buildup of humidity and possible growth of mold/mildew.

Not very well. Gorilla Glue would be a better choice. The original brown formula. Wet both pieces, and clamp in place, as it foams considerably. Or use construction grade subflooring adhesive.

Hello,Thanks for your interest in Foam it Green!Properly applied Foam it Green should bond to anything that is not oily, wet, or extremely dirty, provided the temperature of the surface is 65-85' F. It may have some difficulty sticking to some super slick surfaces like some plastics, but the foam works great on metal, wood, cement, brick, block and many other surfaces.I'd be happy to answer any additional questions you have about your basement project. Just give me a call at 800-516-0949.Thanks! Linda
