I'll be laying down my Du Pont Laminate flooring in a couple weeks when I'm finished painting etc.
It's going to be installed on my concrete slab.
I'm hearing two different opinions about which vapor barrier to use.
I've already purchased some 6 mil plastic sheeting which an experienced big box told me to buy when I bought the laminate.
I happened to run into the store manager of the other big box guy--during discussion he told me it would be a mistake to not seal the slab with
a liquid sealer instead. He isnt the first to tell me this.
Manufacturer Du Pont however is specific about installing plastic sheeting in instructions with no mention of sealer.
Whats up?
