Great product from the description but being sensitive to chemicals, I find that the poly underlay needed for a basement gives off VOCs that bother me. I know they are covered by the floor but I have found the VOCs being a gas will migrate out along the perimeter. I don't want to seal the edges with a caulk as they can become moldy over time. Do you have a recommendation for a moisture barrier that would not pose VOC/odor problems from degassing? Also how safe are the top coats acrylic and PET for the cork and wood look, respectively?

You are correct that most plastic sheeting does off-gas, however, our Moisture Blok vapor barrier does not off-gas and has no odor. That's why we love it. We have samples for you to test that can be purchased from our website. The top coat of the PET Wood Look is made from a food grade plastic used in milk bottles and the Acrylic Cork look coatings is also zero VOC and do not off-gas any hazardous chemicals. Testing is the only way you can confirm this. Check out our sustainable sample boxes.
