I am considering cork planks in my midsouth home with a crawl space foundation. If I have a plywood subfloor, will I need to put down any underlayment or vapor barrier? I read about using a foam underlayment to help with any imperfections, but I wanted to collect more data about it.

Vapor barriers are required when Amorim Wise is floated over concrete, ceramic tile, or stone tile either on grade or below grade. Vapor barriers must be made of 6 mil polyethylene or foil (perm rating of .1 or less) - we recommend the product Moisture Block. Vapor barrier seams should be overlapped and taped with waterproof tape. Vapor barriers are not required when floated or glued over plywood, OSB, composite wood, Luxury Vinyl Tile, Vinyl Composition Tile, Wood Plastic Composite, Stone Plastic Composite, cork, or linoleum.
