Underlayment and Moisture Barrier in Duncan, MS

Underlayment is invisible once the floor is down and it decides how that floor sounds, feels and lasts. It levels minor subfloor variation, deadens sound between storeys, and in the case of a moisture barrier it stops vapour rising out of a concrete slab into the flooring above.

Concrete passes moisture continuously, including slabs that read completely dry to the touch. Installing over a slab without a barrier is how floors cup, adhesive fails and laminate swells from underneath months after a faultless installation.

Hardline Surface Co. tests and specifies across Duncan, MS before anything is laid.

One thing worth knowing: many click-lock floors arrive with a pad already attached to the plank. Adding a second underlayment beneath that is too much cushion, and the joints fail because the planks flex more than the locking system tolerates. More is not better here.

Underlayment And Moisture Barrier FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Underlayment and Moisture Barrier

Questions we hear most often about Underlayment and Moisture Barrier in Duncan, MS.

Talk to a real person
What wear layer do I need for luxury vinyl plank?
12 mil for bedrooms and low traffic, 20 mil for pets, children and entry halls. Total plank thickness is not the number that matters, and a thick plank with a thin wear layer scratches within a year.
Porcelain or ceramic, which should I choose?
Porcelain absorbs under 0.5% water and suits wet areas, exteriors and freeze-prone spaces. Ceramic costs less and is perfectly good for dry indoor floors, walls and backsplashes.
Do I need underlayment over a concrete slab?
You need a moisture barrier. Concrete passes vapour continuously even when it reads completely dry, and skipping it is how floors cup and adhesive fails months after a perfect installation.
What is the PEI rating and why does it matter?
It rates a tile's surface wear resistance. PEI 1 and 2 are wall tiles, and putting one on a floor wears the glaze through. It is a common and completely avoidable mistake.
How long does a tile installation take in Duncan, MS?
Longer than any other floor, because setting, curing and grouting each need their own time. We give you a day-by-day schedule at the measure rather than a single optimistic number.
