Laminate flooring - vapour barrier underlay really necessary?
I'm about to replace a carpet (laid on concrete) with laminate flooring.
Instructions mention using an underlay with a vapour barrier. However, don't concrete floors in houses already have a damp proof membrane incorporated? Is the vapour barrier only required in a new house where the concrete has not yet fully dried out? Or is there some other dampness factor I am missing? |
