Do you have to put the vapour barrier over the concrete or is the foam suffiient. I have been told by that we don't require the vapour barrier as the laminate is guaranteed for life from moisture. The laminate is the kind that you would put in a bathroom. We have a four level side split house and the laminate would be going on the third level. We always had carpet there and never experienced any kind of moisture problem.

What are you experiences with foam underlay versus rubber underlay?
