Can you use this as a moisture barrier with flooring that already has the pad attached?

According to manufacturer yes I used it as a pad and moisture pad on concrete slab with good results

Can't guaranty it. But seems like it is worth a try. Here is another option: Isolate It: Sorbothane Vibration Isolation Heavy Duty Square Pad (2.5" x 2.5" x 1/4" Thick) 30 Duro - 4 Pack

I would refer to the properties of Cinnamon before applying to floor. I would think it would be ok but be sure it wouldn't harm your perticular floor.

I would not think that would be a good idea. You always take the chance of moisture short circuiting the system.

I've not done it, but I'm sure it would work. The Ditra material is mortared to the flooring, then mortar is applied over the top, in which the heat may would be embedded.

It can be, but be careful (of any liquid). The floor material should be sealed - it comes that way but can wear off. Liquid can seep into joint spaces. Don't over apply solution and make sure the floor is dry when you finish.

no, you will need to add a 3mill sheet plastic to floor prior to installing the foam to have a vapor barrier

Yes, it does have a solution to be used with the installation. It is not sticky and enables you to get a very clear surface without air pockets.Also, the Zagg material is much thinner and stronger than the products that don't use the liquid. This makes the 'touch pad' surface more sensitive to the touch.

Hardwood flooring is not suitable for below grade (basement) application. So if the hardwood is being installed above grade, over an existing plywood subfloor, then nail or glue it down. No moisture barrier is required. This product provides both thermal insulating and moisture barrier protection for use over basement or concrete slab floors. It would be possible to install a floating hardwood floor where the joints are glues together over this underlayment - but only on a slab foundation at grade level. For an above grade floor installation, you would want the heat from the home to transfer through the floor level in the home and not insulate against it.

Most experts I've spoken to, agree on not covering the entire unit. The cover is designed to keep debris from getting inside, it's not about moisture.

I don't think it would work well. It actually covers a largish area, so don't think the pads would adhere well.

It requires a mortar base which must be cured before you adhere the mat in mortar itself. We did this over our plywood subfloor;very easy.

Yes. It can be used. It is a solid product for the price. However, if you are installing below grade over concrete. I personally would opt for a heavier barrier. It is rather thin. It worked beautifully in my situation and the price was excellent. But my install was over subfloor and above grade. Anytime you install below grade you have higher moisture. That is why I would recommend a heavier barrier. It will cost more. But you will be glad you went with it.

My purpose for purchasing this product was for a moisture barrier and cushioning. I used it over a concrete slab. Cannot speak to the sound proofing qualities. My floor was quiet to walk on and had just enough give to let me appreciate that it was wood and no longer vinyl over concrete. I would buy this product again.

I would say No, I did not buy this as a water proof pad, otherwise, it's as it stated and we love it.

The floor under will get damp. You can put towels under and the floor should be fine.

This product is a very good quality underlayment, especially for the price. However, not sure about how effective it is as a moisture barrier. I live in a very dry climate, so it would not be apparent one way or the other.
