Comments about Bostik Moisture Barrier:
It is like thick molasses, and dries to a thick rubber cement consistency. Very easy to apply a bit to thick and so coverage was about 3/4 what the can actually suggests.

Used as moisture barrier over concrete slab before installing hardwood flooring.
Some reviews stated the product smelled but I didn't observe that at all.

Comments about Bostik Moisture Barrier:
To seal the slab befor hardwood installation. It really gives you confidence about sealing out moisture. Especially because my last installer really didn't take any sealing precautions which resulted in floor buckling. This time I know, the installer took extra precautions to fix my slab and to seal it before installing the hardware floors. Great!!

Comments about Bostik Moisture Barrier:
Used this product as a mositure barrier (although I never had a moisture issue) for my concrete slab and this also doubled as a sound proofer as well. This is thick and will need to be mixed/stirred prior to use. The benefits it added were great and I would recommend this product for your next slab installation.

I have confidence that the MVP will provide the needed moisture protection to my engineered wood floor. My only concern was how expensive it was to purchase.

Q:
how many squqre ft does this 5 gallon cover approx.1 answer
A:
This product question would be better answered by our Sales Department, they are more familiar with all of our flooring products and can better assist you with your questions.Q:
Is this necessary for engineered wood over main floor concrete? The house is about 15 years old.2 answers
A:
[CAUTION] Most installation failures result from jobsite moisture.CUSTOMER CARE
A:
Yes. Troweled on Moisture Barrier is recommended if subfloor is on or below grade concrete. Always use the same manufacturer of moisture barrier and adhesive or combo type adhesive moisture barrier.Q:
I have an (40-year) old hardwood floor installed over a plywood base over a concrete slab. The plywood is elevated from the concrete slab (approx. 1/4") by slats spaced approx 12" apart. This provides some "give" in the boards over the slab. I would like to install new hardwood over the slab in a similar manner. Is this process recommended and if so, would this product be applied to the slab before floating the plywood base for the hardwood? Would there be a need for an additional vapor barrier? Can I still use a padding inbetween the plywood and the hardwood for softness and sound deadening?1 answer
A:
Thank you for writing in! I would be glad to help you with your questions.Q:
We are planning on laying down Bellawood Engineered Brazilian Cherry flooring on concrete, do we need to use this product as well as a moisture protecting underlayment?1 answer
A:
MVP - Bostik Moisture Barrier is just that; a moisture barrier. you will need the adhesive (Bostiks best or Dura-Grip) along with this barrier.Q:
How "pure" does my concrete slab need to be in order to apply MVP4?1 answer
A:
Unfortunately quite "pure". Old cutback adhesive is a bond buster.Q:
I am wanting to use this product to cover a few cracks in my slab before installing a glue down bamboo. Is it OK j=to just cover the cracks or should i cover the entire floor? and should i level the floor first as there is also one spot that need to be built up?1 answer
A:
I would be glad to help you with this question.Q:
Im laying wood floor over concrete this weekend. I need to lay a moisture barrier down but i had a few questions. If i lay the MVP 4 down how long do i have to wait till i can apply adheasive, then my wood floors? And was wondering what sort of a trowel I should use for the best results on both the MVP and my adheasive.1 answer
CUSTOMER CARE
A:
MVP requires 12 to 16 hours cure time. Moisture barrier uses a 3/16 x 5/32 inch trowel. Hardwood flooring with BBA adhesive requires a 1/4 x 1/4 x 1/4 inch trowel for 3/4" solids. 1/4 x 3/16 x 1/2 inch for 3/8" up to 1/2" solids. Most All product specific installation instructions, specifications, and TIPS can be found in our Flooring & Installation Help section - www.lumberliquidators.com/ll/flooring/Flooring101Q:
I've got an older slab home from the late 40's. We have hardwood down that came with the house. We know there is a moisture problem as the floor is starting to get wavey and seperate in some areas. I plan on pulling up the flooring to inspect it and most likely refinish it in the process. It looks like there is a clear plastic with some blue foam under the floor right now. I plan on using the MVP4 to coat the slab, then install the quik walk underalyment, and the put the floor back down. Would this be the correct approach in trying to minimize the moisture coming through the slab and reaching the floor again?1 answer
A:
I would be glad to help you with this question.Q:
any point in using this product over a wood subfloor?1 answer
A:
Not really, I would use our 15 lb roofing felt or Silicone vapor sheild.Q:
I am planniing to install a laminate floor over concrete at grade. I am going to use underlayment with an attached polyethaline moisture barrier. Do I still need to apply this product? If so, whatis the best trowel to use for application?1 answer
A:
A laminate floor does not get glued down, I would however recommend putting down our 6 mil poly moisture barrier first. and then your underlayment. |
