Sealing/painting Cement Slab For Humidity?

mcu

Hi,

I am redoing a sub floor in the basement with 2x2 dricore tiles and was wondering if there would be any advantage or disadvantage to painting/sealing the cement slab before installing the 2x2 tiles. Would it cut the humidity or just keep it on top of cement and not let it absorb anything?

There are some cracks in the cement do I have to fill those before laying the subfloor down or will they eventually just crack again?

Also is there any benefit to gluing the dricore tiles together since they are already tongue and groove?

Never worked with it, but it would seem to make sense, to cover the concrete with a 6-8 mil poly moisture barrier.

It will sound foolish, but, why not call the manufacturer and ask them? Meh, who has the time, am I right?

Also, I avoid sniffing troll.
