Pergo gold underlayment on concrete.

Hi buck thanks for your question.
Is it acceptable to have a 2 in 1 vapor barrier and pad if it is thin enough.
Pergo can be installed directly over most hard surface flooring.
It has 10x s the moisture vapor transmission protection of basic underlayment thanks to an innovative barrier built right in.
We d recommend going with a 2 in 1 vapor barrier padding if you have seen moisture issues.
Again always check the product s specs to ensure that it s included.
Not only does this simple fan fold underlayment making cutting and installing pergo even easier it also increases the quality of your pergo flooring.
However some moisture vapor barriers are included with underlayment such as pergo gold.
In laminate flooring installations the underlayment is the thin flexible sheet of resilient material that is installed on top of a subfloor in order to act as a base for the laminate planks or tiles you re installing.
This premium underlayment with moisture barrier included creates a more natural sound in the room and helps to reduce sound transmission to rooms.
Pergo floormate is the perfect companion for your new floating laminate or engineered wood floors.
Good luck with your installation.
When installing pergo outlast 10mm with attached padding what underlayment does pergo recommend on concrete.
Is it simply a vapor barrier.
Some pergo laminate products feature attached underlayment.
Pergo laminate and locking engineered planks simply click together.
The room has a door to the back yard and we figure laminate is the most durable comfortable compromise.
While the subfloor provides the foundational support for the room the underlayment is what supports the flooring material itself intended to enhance and protect the flooring.
From what i see it looks like your pergo gold underlayment should do the trick.
The vapor ridges channel moisture away while the lip and tape system provides a strong seal.
The builder doesn t think you can lay pergo on concrete and is pushing carpet.
With any laminate floor you will need to have an underlayment.
If your floor is concrete then you will more than likely need to purchase a separate moisture vapor barrier to protect it from well moisture.
Pergo laminate and engineered flooring can be installed on any level of your home.
There s a family room with a concrete floor in the lowest level of the house and we d like to have pergo on the floor.
It can even be used with pergo laminate with attached pad to enhance the performance of your floor.
With thermal insulation for more comfort underfoot better noise reduction more moisture protection and superior compression strength pergo gold offers superior support and flooring protection.
