Question 2

My contractor installed the silicone paper with the shiny side facing down underneath our solid hardwood floors. Below our subfloor is a beam crawl space. What effect might installing the silicone paper upside down have on our floors? View answer

Question 3

Plan to install travertine flooring. Per industry recommendations, will use two layers of 3/4" subfloor (not glued together) to get a stiff floor section. However, we are concerned such a stiff floor will be 'hard' to walk on, day in, day out. Would cork add some 'give' back to this floor if applied on top of the two layers of 3/4 subflooring?
