I have a 2 story house that is on a slab, garage, laundry room with tile floor, 1/2 bath with concrete floor, and 2 other rooms, den and bedroom, all are on the first floor slab.
I am removing the short nap carpeting and going to lay vinyl laminate plank flooring that has a thin rubber type backing. The flooring store, which also does installations, said this type of flooring does not need the floor to be sealed, nor a vapor barrier, nor any additional underlayment. However I would feel more comfortable sealing the floor. Should I not be concerned? We don't have a water table issue. Should the floor be sealed to prevent any moisture coming up? With what?
