Should I use a moisture barrier with a Floorify floor?
Yes, when installing a Floorify floor on a concrete substrate or another substrate that is sensitive to moisture, the use of a moisture barrier is recommended. This prevents any moisture from the subfloor from damaging the floor. Although Floorify floors are waterproof, moisture from below can still affect the subfloor and the life of the floor. A moisture barrier helps to keep your floor and the space underneath dry and in good condition.
