Question 37

You mention it "reduces abrasion", is that specified somewhere? Does it allow same level of movement as rosin paper? Manufacturer of OSB in a two layer subfloor layout calls for 15lb felt (prevent squeaking). Doing 1 x 6" wood slats as 1st subfloor layer, then underlayment on top of the 1st subfloor layer (15 lb felt, or equivalent, presumably silicon vapor shield, aka SVS), then a 1 1/8" OSB subfloor layer, which we xxxx down through the underlayment with 1 3/4 inch decking screws. a) Do we staple/nail down silicon vapor shield or loose lay? Maybe underlayment seal tape to cover seams? Or double sided tape to secure to the floor/prevent it from moving as the OSB 4' x 8' sheet is placed on top of it and screwed down to 1st layer subfloor?

Question 38

We plan to install floating cork flooring over cement slab at grade. A moisture barrier like Moisture Block is needed as our real-life experience of moisture migrates from the ground up, through cement. We also want QuietWalk: it's insulative, cushioning & moisture wicking. The cork floor manufacturer's installation pdf says don't install the floor over an underlayment more than 1/8" (0.125) thick. QuietWalk is .13" thick (.05" too thick). Plus .006" thick Moisture Block would exceed max allowable thickness by .056. I saw in another Q&A using both may be overkill, but I feel we need both. I'm confused about exceeding the manufacturer's allowed underlayment thickness. Can you clear up any confusion and can I use both underlayments together? View answer
