Default Concrete Slab Glue Down Vapor Barrier?


"Mark" wrote in message
oups.com...
I need some guidance from the group. I have an existing slab on grade
and I'm hoping to install engineered wood flooring. Most likely glue
down. I received some advice from an installer to glue down a vapor
barrier underlayment first then glue the wood flooring to the vapor
barrier. Sounded strange to me. He said there was flooring underlayment

product intended for the job....but I have not found anything yet. Any
suggestions?


Do a floating floor. Glue down on concrete is risky. Yes, you need a
barrier.

I used www.mannington.com and it is very good after 3 years.
