You do not want anything that could potentially tear the vapor barrier on the floor, such as protruding nails or rocks. If installing over concrete, make sure the moisture emission rates do not exceed 31 lbs. per 1000 square feet per 24 hours as measured by the Anhydrous Calcium Chloride Test,Apply Butyl Tape to walls, this will ensure when you run your vapor barrier up the walls that it will stick.Choose a corner of the room and roll out your vapor barrier sheeting. Make sure your vapor barrier is:Parallel to the wallRunning in the opposite direction that you plan to install the flooring planks. 1/2" to 3/4" away from the wallOverlap your vapor barrier sheeting with another sheet that will run up the wall (covering the 1/2" to 3/4" inch gap). Apply Vapor Barrier Seam Tape to stick the vapor barrier sheets together.Make sure it runs up the walls around 4-6". It should overlap the other sheet by 6".After the flooring is installed, trim, the excess underlayment back to the height of the finished floor. Do this prior to installing a base or moldingFAQsIs black vapor barrier better than clear?Black vapor barriers are more effective at stopping moisture evaporation, since the darker color assists in preventing plant growth. When plants grow they emit moisture. This is why black is the typical color choice for weed barriers.What is the minimum thickness of a vapor barrier? Minimum vapor barrier thickness will depend on your building requirements, in which the application and the environment play a role. For crawl spaces, 6 mil thick vapor barriers are generally the minimum, but if the ground is rocky or it is being placed in a high traffic area, a thicker plastic sheeting may be necessary. If you are placing a vapor barrier under concreter floors or slabs then the minimum thickness generally is 10 mil. Vapor Barrier Provides Moisture Protection For Your Homes \u0026 Buildings!
