Can this be used under a below grade floor? I have a basement floor, concrete, that is below grade.

I would say yes, that this would provide some prevention against mold or anything like that. It's two layers of plastic and in between are zillions of little pieces of styrofoam. I would guess that nothing is perfect for below grade, but this seems like it would work. But I'm no flooring expert. :)

Yes. It can be used. It is a solid product for the price. However, if you are installing below grade over concrete. I personally would opt for a heavier barrier. It is rather thin. It worked beautifully in my situation and the price was excellent. But my install was over subfloor and above grade. Anytime you install below grade you have higher moisture. That is why I would recommend a heavier barrier. It will cost more. But you will be glad you went with it.

My husband says that he wouldn't use it for concrete. They make hammer drills specifically for drilling into harder materials. Hope this answer didn't come too late for you!

You should consult someone that installs floors. I don't know how this product would work as a subfloor.

You might if you have hardwood. We live on the 2nd floor and my landlord lives below us. My son has been using his since october and he hasn't said anything about it. We have carpet though.

I would put one on your lowest level (this maybe your basement. In your case it might be your garage). I would also put one on my first level to make sure the levels are not too high.

Hardwood flooring is not suitable for below grade (basement) application. So if the hardwood is being installed above grade, over an existing plywood subfloor, then nail or glue it down. No moisture barrier is required. This product provides both thermal insulating and moisture barrier protection for use over basement or concrete slab floors. It would be possible to install a floating hardwood floor where the joints are glues together over this underlayment - but only on a slab foundation at grade level. For an above grade floor installation, you would want the heat from the home to transfer through the floor level in the home and not insulate against it.

Hey I just attached to my any door frame in ground floor. It does not have any issue. You can try it in your basement.

Not sure why Terry suggested not to use below grade other than for environmental reasons. It is specifically made to protect treated or untreated, below ground, ground contact, fresh water and above ground.

I don't see why not. That's what I did. Remember to either seal off the connection with glue so it won't get contacted with water etc. or hang the connection portion on a hook so it does not dragging on the floor. Just to be safe.

I wouldn't think so. It's a tension bar that needs a solid beam to "push" against. I have it wedged between the floor and a support beam. Good luck!

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 don't see why not. As long as OSB is nailed properly you will have almost 1" of subfloor total.

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 :)

You would be able to use it in the basement; however, it does move a bit if it is hit really hard. My son uses it in the garage all the time without being staked down.

Mine's on carpet on a basement floor. If you are upstairs from others, whether they will hear you probably has more to do with floor/construction. There are heavy duty no skid rubber feet on all legs that I imagine will absorb most sound and should keep it from moving. If it's a floor that slips (hardwood/tile), I would think a small carpet under it would work as long as the carpet was also rubber backed. BTW, I still use this rebounder four - five days a week and am loving its sturdiness. It still appears brand new. (I mostly use it barefoot, but wear athletic shoes sometimes.)

Yes. It could damage your flooring? I use mine in my puppy room which is in my finished basement. I put a large piece of lino under it to protect floor.

Yes you can ... The carpet does not affect its performance ... intact my basement is partially carpet and that's where I do most of work-outs. The Perfect push ups are steardy and strong they are worth the money....
