Re: Vapor Barrier Under Solid Hardwood - Always?


The only floor underlayment I use in these days is Aquabar.(I had used similar products over 25 years)Prevents any moisture transfer between ply and floor material.
Pros:lightweight,leaves no black marks like felt,wood slides and fits easy on it,cheap,manufacturer warranty.
Cons:I can not think of any.
