Re: Engineered Flooring Problem

I have inspected a few, using that neoprene rubber underlayment.

Bad ju-ju, right there! Covering it up like that creates rH build up under that. like Jerry said, Greenhouseing.

I bet when it's uncovered, there is going to be peaked end joints if that is an engineered. If it is a thick saw wear layer, it will see cupping.

Re: Engineered Flooring Problem

The floors are uncovered at the end of the day, & it allows air to flow over the floor during the night.
