On the sample for Moisture Block it says "It is recommended to also install a moisture resistant film over concrete or any substrate where moisture is a concern."

Question 5

Hi, So I am looking to put down carpet tiles that I got online in my rental apartment but notified that the most recent ones I ordered did not come with a rubber backing and was looking at this product as a potential solution. The reason for this project is to protect the hardwood floors I have underneath as I have a cat that is in her senior years and is bound to have future mishaps. Would this help to protect my wood floors underneath from cat urine? View answer
