Adhesives and Underlayment Q&A
Activity timeframe
We are thinking of purchasing strand bamboo flooring (USFloors Ming) and using this underneath. Do we still need a vapor barrier between the concrete and the cork underlayment or can you forgo the plastic underlayment (just cork and flooring)? We live in Florida, a very humid climate if that is relevant. View answer

I plan to install the waterproof cork on a concrete slab in a daylight basement that i recently removed glue down commercial carpet from. since removing the carpet it smells very musty down there. I was going to float the floor over the poly vapor barrier but was advised to look at this Taylor product and glue down the floor. My questions are: Will this product prevent vapor from traveling up through the slab? Will the old carpet adhesive need to be completely removed? Will scraping it off be sufficient or will it need to be sanded? Will this solve the odor problem.Thanks View answer
