You don't need another underlayment if your flooring already came with one. I installed bamboo click-in flooring that did not come with underlayment, so I installed this one.

The underlayment under the flooring is inadequate for a moisture barrier, this product that I've used is great for added barrier and also help tremendously with noise reduction. Just follow the instructions.

You don't need any additional underlayment if your flooring comes already attached with it. I used this first step underlayment upstairs for bamboo flooring and happy with it.

If the flooring you're putting down touches the slab I believe you're supposed to have a plastic barrier like this. If it doesn't I don't believe you do; such as the 2nd story.

We rolled it out, let it acclimate and occasionally duct taped seams together underneath bamboo click flooring - we did not glue. Our floor has been installed for over 6 months and we've had no issues. LOVE having the cork underneath - it lessens the clicky sound and adds warmth to the room.

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 :)

There's always some moisture in wood, upstairs or not. Even if it's completely dry, there's always the chance of water leakage getting under the floor and causing some warping. I'd play it safe and use an underlayment, even if it's only 15-pound asphalt paper, which is inexpensive.

I don't remember rating this product. if I did it would be 50 below zero. its junk. does not sit straight and the TAPE: not good enough to keep it in place, and miserable to remove. I too had hard wood flooring. my advice, is to use very little rubbing alcohol and rub it with a cotton swab and see. good luck.

My electrician, who installed it, told me to lay down one full coat of mortar, let it dry, then lay down more mortar+tile as usual. He said that this would help protect the wiring. Be ware, though, that you must make this first layer *even* or else it will be a pain in the you-know-what to tile over uneven mortar. Make sure it's nice and smooth.

We put the carpet tiles on top of old linoleum in a small closet. They had plenty of stickiness for that. However, because the tiles are so light weight, I wouldn't hold out much hope for a satisfying, permanent, useable solution if they're applied on top of padding. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

We put the narrow opening on the bottom. Personally I don't think it matters. It's personal preference. When installing, it's up to you to butter the tiles so they angle down to let the water run off. Also, make sure you "box frame" all around the niche and screw it in securely. you don't want your tiles to shift after the thin set dries. Hope this helps.

Good Morning - the ladder is attached to the bed with ladder hooks that are then screwed into the bed frame with 2 small screws. This is the recommended way of using the bed to avoid the ladder shifting. If it is not screwed in it will most likely mar the finish as well under the ladder hooks. Thank you for allowing me to assist you - from the #1 Discovery World Furniture seller on Amazon - Dreamscape Furniture:) Feel free to call me at 8007719330 if you need further assistance. Scott

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.

I would probably say those little plastic adhesive backed things you find at BBB or a ACE would work well underneath. You know the things you put under chair or table legs to prevent floor scratching.

itook up my old floor. after I got half of it down the pattern on top started to peel off,i I had to take that up and put down all new flooring . I wouldn't recommend putting this down. test one piece first ,see if it peels off. I hope I helped.

My carpet and tile met in hall doorway . What I did was to cut the track about 1/2" longer than door casing ( 1/4" on each side to slide under door casing ) and gently pull enough carpet to allow bottom of track slide under. I used contact cement to smear on floor and also on bottom of track then wait a few minutes before putting the cement pieces together ! Be very careful because once the cement touches it will be very very hard to move . It almost like nailing it in place ! It worked great for me . Hope this helped.

Hello, It is recommended to use the window vent installation kit that is included with the package. As for floor venting , as long as it is not hazardous you may use it as you wish. Sincerely, Planet 73

We have engineered flooring. It was recommended to us by a flooring store owner. We have been using it for several years and swear by it. You may wish to contact the business that installed your floor to get the proper advise.

laminate flooring is a pulp and paper product layered with either a plastic or wood sheet that is "laminated" onto it ... so, in saying that, most (if not all) pulp and paper products tend to insulate rather than transfer heat. So, it's not so much that you "can't" install it, it's more like will it do you any good to install it? most of the heat will not reach the surface like you want so I would say it's not a good idea to install it under laminate products (wood and plastic is also not a good idea). Tile(both metal and ceramic/porcelain) or concrete is fine. Hope this helps you out. Sheldon

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!
