Default Laying Laminate Flooring

I have a solid floor with the old type hard composition Marley tiles

Is it necessary to put a polythene damp proofing membrane down before
laying insulation material & then the planks etc. ?

Thanks for any help


It's probably not strictly necessary, but it won't do any harm - and will
stop any condensation from getting to the laminate. You can get underlay
which has a damp-proof membrane and a thin layer of foam combined, and is
easier to use than the separate stuff.
