is this a moisture barrier underlayment?

moisture is not a problem. I am more concerned with spills and such. One story home do not need sound barrier or anything like that.
833932
no, you will need to add a 3mill sheet plastic to floor prior to installing the foam to have a vapor barrier
833933
Yes it is however it is a low cost underlayment. There are more expensive and better quality available
833934
No. This is just the padding. You'd need to install a moisture barrier as well.

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

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.

Sorry! Can't answer that question. My safe sits in my office and isn't threatened by moisture at all.

It's a cotton duvet... so no, I don't know if it works as a moisture barrier. Maybe call the company and they can better answer your question.

It is right in between. It is not as thick as some builder gels I have seen. Nor is it as thin as a polish. Consistency is more that of a clear gel like IBD. Would work nicely for an overlay probably.

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'.

It is not thick like normal underlayment it is very compacted down and easy to cut with normal scissors. If you are looking for a cushion type of feel this is not it. I used it on a basement floor so I was more concerned with a moisture barrier which this has.

It has a water resistant underneath. When we camped as a precaution I used a couple of tarps to make sure we didn't have issues with moisture underneath.

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.

It is supposed to be but I have it under and eave so I have not really fully tested it.

It does not appear to be sealed. It has handled normal seaside moisture for over a year. Mine is mounted in a console and is not exposed to direct splashing

Absolutely this is a fantastic underlayment for any flooring and is easy to work with compared to other underlayments. You can use it under any type of flooring that isn't glued directly down to subfloor such as vinyl etc... as a sound barrier even under carpet. I am a flooring professional.

I want to reply 'I don't know' because I am no expert in moisture-proof but...while the door fits tight there are no gaskets of any kind and the cabinet has other small holes in it. I would have to say it isn't moisture-proof.

I don't believe so, I purchased the product to keep the rain water from seeping through our 10x10 canopy at craft shows. I believe it is more of a repellant for water than a sealing agent.

Most experts I've spoken to, agree on not covering the entire unit. The cover is designed to keep debris from getting inside, it's not about moisture.

Hello, Thank you for your interest. Yes the mesh screening as as shown in the pictures. Sorry we do not have anything that is waterproof and we cannot recommend a sealant. You can try 3M Scotch Guard, but we cannot claim that it will make the material waterproof. We also do not advise that you use these tents in the rain or during heavy winds - this may cause damage to the frame. These tents are not designed to be permanent structures. Thank you, Formosa Covers

The materials seem moisture resistant (not paper cones), but the box doesn't say "water proof" anywhere.

I don't think so. It is a very tight weave that prevents moisture from getting through.
